When the reunited Monkees (Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones) hit Charlotte, North Carolina on a concert tour stop in 1996, the local free newspaper, BREAK, was there to deliver the inside story of the band to the uninitiated! Tho mostly consisting of cribbed info from the three books (one by Davy himself) on the group that were available then, this long-form article still delivers the abridged story to the local masses, also priming the pump for the Monkees' shows in the area! During this time, the band also made a "meet-and-greet" appearance at the now-defunct Media Play store, and Micky also held a gallery showing of his artwork while in NC!

| Notice how the above heavily-Photoshopped cover indulges in more than a little sensationalism, in order to grab the eyes of passers-by and potential readers! |

| The above pic, tho a reunion photo, comes from the 1986 tour, not the 1996 concerts. |
