Dolenz' lawyer, Mark Zaid, well-known for representing the whistleblower during former President Donald Trump's Ukraine scandal, considers himself a big fan of the Monkees, which helped trigger his interest in this case. "Understand that The Monkees existed in a very tumultuous period of time in the United States," Zaid told CBS L.A."Obviously, Micky still performs today and The Monkees — until others passed away — were all still performing, but they came to the world's attention in 1966 or so, when we were in Vietnam and the hippies are becoming big and the drug culture."
Musician Mickey Dolenz arrives at the premiere of"All We Are Saying" at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center, April 22, 2005, in New York.
