Topic: The Monkees

Alan Green recounts his early career in the music industry and his experiments with the power of manifestation. He describes how he successfully visualized and secured a cruise ship gig and a record deal with Clive Davis at Arista Records. However, Green notes that his ego and difficult attitude led to the collapse of these early opportunities, specifically citing a conflict over a "joke" song titled 15.

Green details his unexpected 12-year tenure as the musical director for Davy Jones of The Monkees. Despite an irrational childhood hatred for Jones, a chance rehearsal meeting in a theater led to an immediate bond based on shared Manchester humor. Green reflects on this relationship as a karmic experience that allowed him to witness the realities of fame vicariously without the personal burden of being a superstar.

The "Song to the Siren" story begins with the final episode of The Monkees, which featured themes of MKUltra, alien technology, and a code for marijuana called "Frodus." Folk singer Tim Buckley premiered the song during this episode, which adapts the Greek myth of a sailor lured to his death. This performance is identified as the "birth" of a musical spell that would go on to affect multiple artists over several decades.
