RIP Michael Nesmith

[glemon]

Famous as a member of the pre-fab four, he was a better musician than most probably knew. I forgot this song existed, hauntingly beautiful

I just realized today that he had written "Different Drum" performed by the Stone Ponies.

Only one Monkee left now.

I've been watching a lot of Youtube videos of him lately.
To me it's interesting how he he does those songs.

Godspeed, Nez. You were a big part of my childhood self learning to love music.

My brother took his family to see The Monkees just a few weeks ago. I believe it was Mike's last appearance on stage. He was obviously frail but he and Mickey put on a great show together.

There was a long time where the other three would tour without him as he felt he was trapped as being a Monkee. But he mellowed towards it as time went on and did some of their shows.

Maybe this is not news to many, but his mom invented liquid paper.

And made millions.

Much of what she made was from my typing alone.

I think I probably contributed my share as well!
