"Well, I mean that's your hang up, man."
Charles Manson was in prison at the time these tests were made in 1966, so his audition for the Monkees is just an urban myth. (But he did collaborate with the Beach Boys.) And according to Bob Rafaelson the "Must come down" in the ad was "a sly reference to being high". Here's Davey Jones and Toni Basil in an astonishing musical number from "Head" which wouldn't seem out of place in "Bojack Horseman". "Head", I've just learnt, was made in 1968. Two years after the screen tests. I don't think I realised their span was so short. That is insane.
