After "The Monkees" disbanded in 1971, Jones sang solo as well as with various reincarnations of the group.
He also acted on stage and screen, with his most famous TV appearance as himself on "The Brady Bunch," in an episode where Marcia Brady was the president of his fan club and tried to get the singer to appear at her school dance. He also played Fagin in "Oliver!" on Broadway.
Recently, he played himself on an episode of "Sponge Bob Square Pants."

we always love you..
Davy seemed like a great guy and all the girls in school had a crush on him, I even remember the rabbi's daughter had a crush on him.
Good luck on your journey, Davy.
Thanks for all the fun and happiness you brought into my life.
For the VERY few girls that actually get into games as 99.999999999% of boys - it's a loss leader to cater to girl games in general.
I've actually seen a girl gamer quit mid-level so she could go paint her toes. Meanwhile, I've seen guys eat ramen for a month so they would have enough money to get the latest game on the day it's released.
I would say I am just into video games as my husband. We both enjoy all levels of games. We play COD3 a lot, but at the same time, we arent above enjoying a casual game.
I can be girly too, but Ive never quit a video game to "go do girl stuff." I like wearing nice clothes and all, but I would pay my mortgage late to get New Vegas the night it comes out. I failed one of my classes the semester fallout came out.
That having been said, I've never met another girl like me in real life.
dragon age is one of my favorie games...not my favorite.
Also, I think the article itself is a little sexist. It implys that girls are, what, too sensitive to enjoy the things men do in a video game? I enjoy The Sims too from time to time, but that doesnt mean I don't enjoy running over hookers in GTA3 also. Why do gamers have to be pigeonholed into a category.
The change will come slowly and in 2 steps. 1. realize there is money to be made off women in games (just happened thanks to casual games and social games) 2. wait for that realization to propagate throughout industry (guessing 10 years)
