Performance Rights Supporters Monkee Around in the Capitol

Congressional supporters of the Performance Rights Act joined recording artist Micky Dolenz on Capitol Hill to treat Congress to a one-time-only performance by their newly-formed band, the Wonkees.
Dolenz, who climbed to the top of the charts playing drums in the hit pop-rock quartet The Monkees, led Reps. Joe Crowley (D-Guitar), Ted Deutsch (D-Keyboard), and Tom Rooney (R-Drums) in renditions of Monkees classics "I'm a believer" and "Stepping Stone".
"Enough is enough," Dolenz said to hill staff and musicians' allies assembled in the Capitol Visitors Center. "There's only one way to get artists back to performing instead of lobbying. Shut us up and pass the Performance Rights Act."
