Michael Nesmith

While he and Dolenz were doing this recent, officially: a "last" tour,
I watched an interview with the two of them. Nez was funny in his usual way
during it and told stories that he'd probably told hundreds of times before.
Dolenz, on the other hand, looked like he was a combination of pissed
and really exhausted and wasn't really looking good. ...and some of the concert
footage of the two of them showed that Dolenz' voice was shot.

As a youngster, I called Dolenz on the phone because he was my
favorite Monkee at that time, but as years have gone on I've realized
that out of all four of them, the creative force was really Nesmith.
Yes, there were The Monkees, but a more creative snug-fit that he'll be
remembered for is the fact that he was a pioneer in music-video art.
His mother invented "Liquid Paper" BTW.

I was more of a Peter Tork person myself, but yeah, Nesmith was certainly the most innovative of the four Monkees. He probably would have made it on his own anyway.

I guess that just leaves Mickey Dolenz now.

I always liked this one for some odd reason

This one was with his First National band, around 1971 I think

The last time I was actually with him was having an ice cream in a shop.

Last time I saw him perform was when Frown and I saw him in 2019.

Ninety years old and such a legacy of sound.

Did you and Frownland go to a concert together? Good for you.
