4. I've always liked him

In the Monkees episode I thought he had good comic timing. Bobby quit show business in the 70's. He became an EMT and later on a police officer.

When Sherman guest-starred on an episode of the Jack Webb television series Emergency! ("Fools", season 3, episode 17, aired January 19, 1974), he found a new calling. Eventually, he left the public spotlight and became an emergency medical technician (EMT).[9] He volunteered with the Los Angeles Police Department, working with paramedics and giving CPR and first aid classes. He officially became a technical Reserve Police Officer with the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1990s, a position he still held as of 2017.[8] He was later promoted to Captain in the Los Angeles Police Department. For more than a decade he served as a medical training officer at the Los Angeles Police Academy, instructing thousands of police officers in first aid and CPR. He was named LAPD's Reserve Officer of the Year in 1999.

Sherman also became a reserve deputy sheriff in 1999 with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, continuing his CPR/emergency training of new deputy hires. Sherman retired from the sheriff's department in 2010.[8]

Sherman and his wife co-founded the Brigitte & Bobby Sherman Children's (BBSC) Foundation.[10] The foundation's mission is to

provide motivated students in Ghana with a high quality education and music program, providing tools to pursue higher education.[11]

5. I read that this song really upset Mike Nesmith

This was around the time he was fed up with having no control over their music. Most of the Monkees’ early recordings were either Micky or Davy as lead singer, in the studio alone with professional session musicians and backup singers. So while Mike and Peter were agitating for more input in their music, Davy recorded this song (written by Neil Diamond) and it was released as a single while the other 3 Monkees, or at least Mike and Peter, had no idea the song existed.
Despite that bit of history it’s a great song, well done Davy! RIP to you and Mike.
