Ir Amim – For an Equitable and Stable Jerusalem.I used to write for The Daily Beast's "Open Zion" blog.So nice to hear that he was, in fact, “a wonderful man.” I dreamed, along with everyone else, that he could be my Personal Penguin. Update: Sandra Boynton has responded to the sad news:ĭavy Jones. So in his memory, in real gratitude for his pop presence in my life, and with tears in my eyes, I offer you this: Davy Jones, singing “Your Personal Penguin.” May he rest in peace – may his memory be for a blessing. Wonderful, inspiring madness.īut in the family and in the home in which I live as a 47 year old, Davy is best known for his collaboration with children’s author Sandra Boynton (also a purveyor of absurdist humor, if you think about it) on the song “Your Personal Penguin.” He sings the part of the penguin. Because if you think The Monkees was just a little kids’ show? Look again. His voice was lovely, and he and his Monkee friends are, I’m sure, a big part of why I have such a big place in my heart for absurdist humor. I loved him once, as only a very little girl can, with a kind of ache that would sit on my little girl heart whenever I saw his beautiful face. G enuine sorrow over here: Davy Jones has died of a heart attack, aged 66.
