Talk:Peter Tork

Aspergers
I could find no reliable source showing that peter tork has stated he has aspergers, thus i have removed the category and the mention in the list of people with this. if someone finds a reference, add it back.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:45, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Janis Joplin
On 11/24/09, he admitted on the WFAN radio show, that he slept with Janis joplin on 2 ocassions. I have no link to it, but I heard it with my own 2 ears. Elg26 (talk) 11:28, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * unless you can provide a link to a transcript of this interview, this is unsourced, and potentially controversial, thus i have removed it. i dont have to doubt or believe you heard this to remove it. WP is not a repository for every unsourced fact about people. I know that Grace Slick bounced a check for a work of art, and Herbie Mann smoked pot (wow, really, i never would have guessed, a jazz musician smoking weed), but i cant add it because i dont know a reliable source that says so.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:47, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Drugs
Peter Tork has talked on occasions about his past-drug use. Can anyone find references? I believe he is rather open about it. WookMuff (talk) 03:30, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Canada
He was performing a weekly show in Toronto, Canada, for several years in the 1980s. The club on the east side of Eglinton Park.184.147.224.254 (talk) 21:18, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Activism
One of the occupations listed is "activist." Seems like it would be useful to have some mention of the nature of his activism. Dr hilto (talk) 05:15, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Photo change
The 1960s photo of Peter is of poor resolution. I propose using a cropped version of the main photo found on The Monkees page. 140.160.195.56 (talk) 22:46, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I tend to agree. Do you mean a crop from File:The Monkees 1966.JPG? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:50, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

I went ahead and made this change, since I don't think it will be very controversial. Nohomersryan (talk) 23:37, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Little Girl
I noticed that this isn't on the list of songs Tork wrote. He wrote the one that eventually landed on the Good Times LP. (there's an earlier Monkees song named "Little Girl", as well). DavyJonesWilson (talk) 15:24, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * In the "Song list" section it's currently included in the "commented out" part i.e. not displayed, awaiting a source. If you could provide a good source, it could certainly be added. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:27, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure. Interview (https://www.goldminemag.com/features/monkees-tork) and a YouTube video of a live solo performance from '77 in which he states that he wrote it, starting at the 1:16 point (video's name is 'Peter Tork - Little Girl (Sunny Side Up) - Live At CBGB - 7/31/77'). DavyJonesWilson (talk) 15:37, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * OK. I've now added it, using that first source. We can only use the a YouTube video if it's obviously not a copyright violation. If it's a useful example of Tork performing, it could always be added to External links. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:46, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, I see it was recorded at the famous CBGBs. The quality is really not the best. But I also see the description says very plainly: "I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THIS RECORDING!!!!" So not exactly suitable for posting here, I'm afraid. But it does suggest the title is more likely "Little Girl (Sunny Side Up)". Tork himself introduces it as "Sunny Side Up".

Additional instruments should be listed.
I was going to add some instruments to the list of those plane by Peter Tork but I saw that a discussion needs to happen first and so I respected that even though I personally think it's ridiculous. The most obvious missing instrument is the banjo. A lesser-known instrument that we played was the French horn. But, in any case the banjo should definitely be listed. Harpsichord could also be added but, that might fall under keyboard which is already listed. TheBoss1022 (talk) 08:40, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Banjo should be added. Halcyon grun Sproutz (talk) 06:45, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

I added banjo, but maybe someone could fix it so it lines up with the others. I am new at this and using just a smartphone. Halcyon grun Sproutz (talk) 07:26, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
