Monkee-MICKY DOLENZ was back in New York yesterday in a big way. Fresh from Montego Bay, Micky was up at SIRIUS RADIO yesterday, with his pr-man, 'The Pasha' DAVID SALIDOR, for 3 radio interviews, set up with assistance from the station's STEVE LEEDS: The first was Sirius' Broadway station (BROADWAY'S BEST) with host Mike Parker. Dolenz talked about his experiences in ELTON JOHN and TIM RICE's AIDA and most recently, with STEPHEN SCHWARTZ and the recent national tour of PIPPIN he did. He also said that he was at Schwartz's recent Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, where Stephen received a star on the noted street. Micky revealed he was up for another national tour of a very prominent show, and should know within 2 weeks if it's a go.His next stop was the show, 60'S VIBRATIONS, where he not only picked the play list (Animals; Beatles; Beach Boys) but, recounted a number of very funny remembrances ... most notably, when he was hanging out at fellow-Monkee PETER TORK's house, in the Hollywood Hills, one day in the pool, when STEPHEN STILLS walked up, and said, listen to this song he wrote, and, he ended up playing for the first time "For What It's Worth", which went onto becoming a major record for his then-group The Buffalo Springfield. He also recounted hearing GRAHAM NASH play "Marrakesh Express" for the first times. Heady times indeed!Dolenz's last stop was an old friend, COUSIN BRUCE MORROW. Both of them were at CBS FM several years back, up until the station over night changed their format to the dreaded JACK. That failed miserably, and the station has since returned to their earlier format, but, sadly without the two. Morrow conducted what I feel has been one of the best interviews ever with Dolenz. Bruce then asked Micky to sign a guitar which will be auctioned at an upcoming Morrow-charity event. Morrow asked some TERRIFIC questions. That's clearly why he remains a legend. The interview will be broadcast next Wednesday ... worldwide via Sirius.Tomorrow night, Dolenz, with wife Donna, will be at THE CALLER premiere at The Tribeca Festival in lower Manhattan. This flick has generated a lot of buzz so far and is considered to be a sensation, with FRANK LANGELLA and ELLIOT GOULD. Monday night, Dolenz performs at NILE RODGERS' WE ARE FAMILY EVENT here in NYC. Micky performing with CHIC ... certainly not to be missed. Then on May 4, Dolenz, and his band, appear in Hoboken, at The Hoboken Arts & Music festival.
