With yesterday's mega-tribute to the TV characters played by the late Davy
Jones, I found a few theoretical connections:
A THEORY OF RELATEEVEETY
Record producers Jerry Vicuna ('Sledge Hammer') and Albert Lynch ('ABC
After-School Special') could be brothers.
GAME OF THE NAME
Jockey Davey Sanders ("The Bluegrass Special") may have changed his name to
Frank Tyson ("A Horse In The House") and moved back to England.
LA TRIVIATA
Monkee Mike Nesmith "wrote" the song "I'm Gonna Buy Me A Dog", previously
recorded by a teen-age band - which included a look-a-like for Mike's band-mate
Davy. ('The Farmer's Daughter')
As I did all the research on that project, I found another theoretical
connection, one which didn't fit in with the overall Davy Jones theme.....
In the 'My Two Dads' episode "The Wedge", Michael tried to rouse Joey
because he thought he heard a prowler in the house. But Joey was in the midst
of a very erotic dream, in which he was fending off the amorous advances of some
woman named Veronica. ("No, Veronica! I have no more to give!")
So the question is: Who was Veronica?
Joey Harris was an artist with some small measure of success. With a
decent enough reputation in the art world, Joey may have moved easily through
the upper echelons of the entertainment world - not just the art scene, but the
music biz. the movie crowd and TV types.
And in the field of fashion as well.....
Veronica "Ronnie" Chase was another former A-Lister with her own lingerie
catalogue "empire". And she wrote self-help books as well. When we last saw her, she was struggling a bit to keep pace
with the industry, but at one time she had been on top of the world, Ma!
So I'm going to put forth (I know she did!) that at some point in the
trajectories of their careers, Joey and Veronica intersected. They probably
intersected a lot.....
Eventually, it had to end. But it looks like Joey never got over
her.....
(And Veronica probably never got over him either. Eventually she started
dating a man named Justin, who looks to have been Joey's identical
cousin.)
BCnU!

Interesting theory about "Veronica" being Veronica Chase, but I wish to invoke Occam's Razor (that is to say that the simplest answer is usually the right answer) and suggest that Joey was having an erotic dream about...
VERONICA LODGE
Yes he was having an erotic dream about a comic book/strip/cartoon character. And why not? Veronica was the Ginger of the Riverdale set and you could just bet that like Cordelia Chase, while her father may still think she's a "good girl" she knew what went where and why from experience. At least she probably did in erotic dreams.
Lest you question the possibility of that, let me state that I once had an erotic dream about Supergirl late in the career of the original Supergirl (when she was in her 20s). More wholesome than my erotic dream about Martha Stewart.
Hahaha! Thanks for the early morning laugh, Brent! For me the comic strip fantasy was the Jackson Twins.....
