not robots


Until about a year ago I thought The Monkees were robots. They are not robots. The Michael Martin Murphey penned "What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round?" is a pretty early stab at countryrock, with Mike Nesmith calling it a "new-wave country song...with its minor chord changes; Buck Owens wouldn't have done anything like that." Can't seem to find out who exactly, but allmusic has "some members of the Byrds" (Clarence White?) playing on the song.
