Monkee Man

Most fathers may pine for the past, but few would wish to never be allowed to grow up. But "They Made a Monkee out of Me" author and lead singer Davy Jones is, like this week's objet d'eBay forever cast as a plastic creature. — in this case as a 2002 toy caricaturing him as part of a TV band pulled off the air in 1968 that ended in most other incarnations at some point during the 1970s.

To the public he has never been able to grow up, despite fathering four daughters and alimonying two wives. Which doesn't make him any less a daddy's boy:



** Every dad is a caricature, but, obviously, some more than others. **
