Monkees bandmates
MUSIC
LOS ANGELES — Dway Jones' funeral will not be the stage for a reunion of his former Monkees bandmates, according to the group's Micky Dolenz, who said his understanding was that the family wanted to keep the service "low-key" and avoid a "media circus."
won't gather at funeral
Dolenz told Billboard.com that if he.
Peter Tork or Mike Nesmith were to show up by themselves or together "it would very quickly be degraded into something that I don't think his immediate family would want to deal with."
The three had, however, spoken with one another since Jones' death, he said, and were all "in shock."

Country Hall of Fame honors three legends
"There's a room that the best days in your career stand in." Brooks added through his spokeswoman. "This honor will stand beside being inducted into the Opry, playing the 100th anniversary of Cheyenne with Chris LeDoux and getting to be part of Oklahoma's centennial celebration."
Brooks is the biggest-selling country artist of all time and ranks third on the Recording Industry Association of America's list of top-selling artists in all genres, behind only the Beatles and Elvis Presley.
3/08
Brooks has been tapped as this year's "modern era artist" inductee, while Smith fills the hall's "veterans era artist" slot and Robbins enters in the category for "recording and/or touring musician prior to 1980." The latter rotates every third year with "nonperformer" and songwriter inductees.
Smith, who placed nearly 50 hits on the country music charts from 1964 to 1985, starting with the song that spent eight weeks at No. 1 in 1964. "Once a Day," said her induction is "so touching, it's difficult to find the words to express my gratitude." Last year, Smith put out her first new album in 13 years. "Long Line of Heartaches."
"I am astounded and honored to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame," Brooks said in a statement. "At the same time, I can't help but feel guilty going in when there are so many deserving artists that came before me who are yet to be inducted."
They will be formally welcomed into the Hall of Fame at an induction ceremony slated for later this year.
Robbins, who played on hundreds of sessions in Nashville and elsewhere and toured with dozens of top country performers, said: "I've always considered myself lucky and I guess my good luck has struck again."
Garth Brooks, Connie Smith and pianist Garth "Pie" Robbins are the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame, hall officials announced Tuesday.

Re-election campaign to release documentary
POLITICS
Campaign manager Jim Messina says the documentary was directed by Davis Guggenheim, whose credits include the Academy Award-winning, "An Inconvenient Truth," about Al Gore's global-warming campaign.
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's re-election campaign plans to release a 17-minute documentary next week about his first term in office.
Messina says the documentary will, in his words, "put into perspective the enormous challenges that the nation faced when the president took office and the strives we've made together."
WHALE TALES
Campaigns frequently release documentary films to reach voters and amplify the narrative of a candidate's message.
