Monkees Subject of FBI Investigation

Another tidbit of FBI history has emerged with the agency's refusal to release its secret files on the made-for-TV boy band popular about 50 years ago. Sole surviving member of the quartet Micky Dolenz filed a freedom of information act request for the FBI files on the band. No response was made to the request by the agency so Dolenz has filed suit in federal court. One file, heavily redacted, was released in 2011.

According to FBI information, an FBI informant was in attendance at a Monkees concert in 1967 where subliminal messages critical of the Viet Nam war were displayed on a stage background.
