The Monkees vs The FBI

Sunday with Steven Rainey

Available for over a year

At their height, pop band The Monkees was one of the most popular bands in America. They were also the subject of an FBI file linked to the Vietnam War. Now, Monkees singer Micky Dolenz, 77, is suing the agency to find out more. Portions of a heavily redacted FBI file, released in 2011, include reports of "anti-US messages on the war in Vietnam" during a 1967 concert.
