Sorry to say this but Michael Nesmith of The Monkeys died today at age 78 years old.

Always my favorite Monkee, and really originator of country rock. I'll be listening to Magnetic South tonight.

 

Interesting tidbit. His mother, Bette, invented typing correction fluid, White Out.

As a teen (around 1967), I worked at a gas station in Burbank, California. After putting gas in a car, the driver gave me his credit card and it said Mike Nesmith. I recognized him but didn’t want to seem star-struck. I was way too cool for that (LOL).

Never enjoyed their TV show....

But I have Michael''s LP with 'Joanne' on it.

RIP
