Here he comes, walking down the street ... For nearly 40 years now, Micky Dolenz has pleased millions of fans throughout the world by playing a role in rock 'n roll history as a member of The Monkees. And in that time, he has also played a number of other roles-actor, director, writer, producer, brother, husband, father, and even radio DJ. Now he's ready to play a brand-new role as trivia maven-and in Micky Dolenz' Rock 'n Rollin' Trivia, you're invited to play a role, too!

From Elvis in America to The Beatles in England; from doo-wop to punk rock; from MTV to MP3; it's all here in one big collection of over 900 questions hand-picked by Micky himself to tease and please any rock 'n roll fan. Unlike other trivia books that simply supply the answers to the questions, this book includes interesting information along with each answer. Furthermore, the answers are cleverly formatted in a way that allows the reader to play alone or with others.

With over 65 million records sold worldwide, Micky Dolenz remains an important part of rock 'n roll culture. But now he wants to take a close look at rock 'n roll history, one question at a time. Micky's ready-are you? Pick up this book and find out for yourself.

 

Micky Dolenz. Before Micky Dolenz ever made the pop charts, he was already famous as child actor "Micky Braddock" in the late '50s NBC-TV show "Circus Boy." Bitten by the rock 'n roll bug in his late teens, Dolenz had already played guitar in a number of bands before being chosen in 1966 to star alonside Davy Jones, Peter Tork, and Mike Nesmith in a TV show called "The Monkees." Within only a few weeks, Dolenz and his bandmates quickly rocketed to worldwide fame as both TV and recording stars-their millions of fans even included The Beatles.

Following the breakup of the group in 1969, Micky continued to work as an actor, director, producer, and performer. After spending nearly a decade in London producing and directing a number of theatre and TV projects, Dolenz took part in a Monkees reunion tour in 1986. Since then, he has starred on Broadway in Elton John's Aida; has written his autobiography and children's books; has been a morning radio DJ for WCBS-FM in New York; and has continued to tour throughout the world (either with The Monkees or without). Micky lives with his wife, Donna, in California.
