Adkins to Become Grand Ole Opry Member Jun 16, 12:00 PM EST The Grand Ole Opry is taking in a big new member Adkins' hits include "Chrome" and "(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing "< /p> The 41-year-old country singer has a greatest hits album due out in July 23 Adkins said, "I'm not worthy, but I'll take it Saturday night, longtime Opry member Little Jimmy Dickens asked Trace Adkins to become the next member of the Opry Adkins had just sung on the Opry's televised portion, and seemed surprised by the request " Adkins, a former oil field worker from Louisiana, will be officially inducted into the Opry Family on Aug "The Monkees really becoming a band was like the equivalent of Leonard Nimoy really becoming a Vulcan," Dolenz says "Like a Broadway show, you can't fake it on stage â€â€? you actually have to sing and you actually have to play But by 1967, the band had enough of the make-believe and began insisting on playing and singing their own songs They would not allow us to play â€â€? literally," Dolenz says The rock-musical tells the story of a love triangle between Aida, a Nubian princess forced into slavery; Amneris, an Egyptian princess; and Radames, the soldier they both love Dolenz was cast as a drummer without ever having hit the skins "I figured if architecture didn't work out, I could fall back on show biz," he says with a laugh He narrowly missed landing the role of The Fonz on "Happy Days," a part that would later make Henry Winkler famous "I have no regrets," he says We transcended the imaginary and became this supergroup "I remember going to some audition for an acting part and someone said, `What are you doing here? We don't need any drummer!'" â€â€? proof perhaps that his long search for legitimacy as a Monkee had come full circle " Well, not at the beginning Dolenz also thinks it's high time The Monkees were given their due for what they did for popular culture besides goofing around: namely, sanitizing the counterculture for the mainstream That ultimately is what happened Yet even some of his friends didn't know he had the musical chops for "Aida "There is nothing like getting out there on a legitimate stage and having to really pull it off At first, the band's songs â€â€? like "I'm a Believer" and "Last Train to Clarksville" â€â€? were written by the likes of Neil Diamond and Carole King, while other musicians played the instruments disneyonbroadway ' The Monkee train is gonna go on, with or without me, forever ' That was very similar There wasn't anything that I did in my life professionally that demanded that kind of singing Dolenz had become proficient on the drums and the four began a heated behind-the-scenes battle with producers and NBC The band went on tour â€â€? Jimi Hendrix was the opening act â€â€? and supplied the soundtrack to the 1968 psychedelic movie "Head," co-written by Jack Nicholson Before that, the only time you'd see people with long hair on television they were getting arrested or at protests or smoking dope at love-ins Smith, the show's production stage manager who previously worked with Dolenz in "Grease," says the performer has a voice as powerful as his ego is small He no longer fights the incessant questions about The Monkees and has embraced his fame Americans loved watching the quartet's zany antics each week, whether it was secretly baby-sitting a horse in a house or unwittingly becoming foreign agents in order to recover microfilm hidden in maracas " Looking back, Dolenz sees a connection between his current work and the one that forever will be linked with his name â€â€? The Monkees, whose albums and TV show were chart toppers in the late 1960s Dolenz went to England and began a career directing TV shows and commercials "Our side was saying it was more important that it was legitimate, even if it's not as good " Still, but there's more than a little architecture in his latest project: The role of the scheming Prime Minister Zoser in "Aida," Disney's cartoony take on the Verdi opera I knew the power and possibility of a series on television," he says " After The Monkees dissolved, Dolenz found it difficult to get work again "The Monkees, in a way, was a musical on television," he says " "It's been an incredible opportunity for me to do something that is so â€â€? I mean, God love The Monkees â€â€? different," Dolenz says He doesn't want to be Micky Dolenz in 'Aida "There's no question he wants to be part of the company ' I'm very proud of the work I did on that show, like I'm proud of the work I did on `Circus Boy Goode" on guitar for the casting directors, as well as Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones The British newspapers began referring to him not as Micky Dolenz, the ex-Monkee, but as Michael Dolenz, director and producer for the BBC " Paul J Mike used to say it was like Pinocchio really becoming a little boy " Dolenz, who as a boy starred in the TV show "Circus Boy," is no stranger to the musical stage, having previously toured with companies of "Grease," "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," "The Point" and "Tom Sawyer " The Monkees won, and what had been fake gave way to fact "And the train just took off The Monkees â€â€? or Prefab Four, as they were called â€â€? were the brainchild of Columbia Pictures producers who were inspired to create a television show after the success of the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night "That was Plan B: acting and singing " Open auditions were held and four strangers were cast: Dolenz, who performed "Johnny B Micky Dolenz Joins Broadway's 'Aida' Jan 8, 11:23 AM EST Micky Dolenz studied architecture in college and was fully prepared for a life planning buildings â€â€? not rock 'n' roll immortality â€â€? even though he was auditioning for television shows between classes " He also wrote the book for, and directed, "Bugsy Malone" for the London stage "I guess in the end I've managed to combine both those dreams Zoser, after all, has a thing for building pyramids "And to some degree I didn't know ' He wants to be right in the character," Smith says And then all of a sudden The Monkees come along with long hair representing, in a way, all those millions of kids out there who were good kids " Dolenz, 58, joins co-stars Michelle T Dolenz, who has been with a touring version of the show for six months, plays Radames' father, contributing songs like "Another Pyramid" and "Like Father Like Son Members of the band periodically reunite for concerts and Dolenz is happy to play the old songs " Not everyone was happy, particularly those critics who felt cheated when word spread that the four young men had not initially been the musical talents behind the songs " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: http://www "I love `The Monkees " "No one does," he replies cheerily "It wasn't that we didn't want to play or couldn't play " Plan A, though, quickly faded when he nailed an audition in 1966 to join "The Monkees," a TV comedy based on the antics of a rock group modeled after the Beatles Williams of Destiny's Child, Will Chase and Lisa Brescia in the Broadway version of "Aida," the Tony-winning musical with music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice Dolenz could see the blueprints on the wall "I was disturbed and hurt and bothered â€â€? and have been over the years at different times â€â€? because of the unjustified animosity directed at me personally "Yeah," Dolenz says after considering the matter Like it was my fault! Like I conspired or contrived or it was all part of this manipulation to deceive," Dolenz says Long after I'm gone they're going to be playing those songs and showing those shows " It would be the "Last Train to Clarksville He would like to point out that he was only in his early 20s at the time "I'm not a fool "It was that weird com "He is not at all a diva "I equate it to Will Smith bringing rap into American living rooms with `The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air |
