I hope you guys are having a good 4th of July Weekend, so this week I"m diving into the history behind last week's band & song which is I"m Not Your Stepping Stone by the Monkees. this week I do a deep dive into the history behind this band and what made them so interesting and I also talk about the behind the scenes details on the recording session of this song and what the recording process was like for their first 2 albums, and what happened internally with this band that made them overcome the obstacles that they were put up against as a band, and how they were able to overcome those things that made them achieve what they wanted to achieve as a group. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:
