His mother invented Liquid Paper.

For some reason that is interesting to me.

I always thought the monkees were just a rip off of the Beatles so i never liked them. One time someone said they liked them and i told them they ripped off the Beatles and they got all offended.

I stand corrected. Actually, only one Monkee standing.

The Beatles were a ripoff of the Everly Brothers.

I’m sad that Michael Nesmith died because he was the money guy behind my favorite movie, Repo Man.

Mike was absolutely my favourite; I have memories of watching the CBS reruns of the show on Saturday mornings in the late 1960s because I'm an old Boods, fair enough. The wink at the end of 'Papa Gene's Blues' set me on a lifetime course of lanky, dark-haired, sardonic men.

Elephant Parts is fantastic.

My favorite is 'Neighborhood Nuclear Superiority' -- because people are just no damned good.

You could do worse than spending an afternoon going through the sketches from the show posted on that Video Ranch channel.

Long time ago as a teenager, I had the chance to play around on that big white Gretsch he often played on the Monkees; got to see him play a rare London show up in Islington about 10 years ago now.

A bit down now, but I know it'll get better. Will always remember him as a wunderkind and the idiot with the sponges.
