YOU INTERVIEW THE MONKEES, Monkees Spectacular Volume 1, Number 10, February 1968

1. Do you at all believe in the study of astrology?  If so, what sign do you find the most appealing for a girl?
Answer: I do believe in it, but I don't study it at all.  I've never taken it up, but I believe the practitioners of astrology can do the things they say they can do.
2. How do you feel about the hippies and the "flower children"?
Answer: I dig the hippies.  I dig 'em.  I think the hippies... well, the hippies are dead, you know that.  You knew that the hippie movement was buried and that there is nothing but long-haired Americans, and I guess that includes me.  And there you are.
3. If I were to suggest that you read "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein, would you?  If so, consider it a suggestion.
Answer: Listen, I suggest everyone read "Stranger in a Strange Land," that's my answer to that one.  I'll also consider the suggestion from you and maybe I'll go back and read it for the fourth time.
4. What fault in a girl do you find most unforgiveable?
Answer: I hope to find nothing unforgiveable.
5. What attribute do you find most admirable in a girl?
Answer: Faith.  Not necessarily faith in something, fans, it doesn't have to be.  Just plain faith.  I believe in something- I believe I'm 5'10".  I really believe that.  But genuine faith you know.  No, wait a minute, I take that back.  More than faith is a will to get it straight.  That's even more than faith, I think, in some respects.
6. Skinny girls with short haircuts are supposed to be "in", how do you personally feel about this latest craze or fad?
Answer: Well, in so far as it is a craze or fad I feel about it as I do about all crazes and/or fads which is that they are crazes and/or fads.  How do I feel about skinny girls with short haircuts?  If a girl is really pretty she looks pretty no matter what she does.
