Singer and musician Mike Nesmith, who found fame with the Monkees in the 1960s before becoming a solo act and a pioneer in music video, has died.
His death comes less than a month after his final Monkees concert.
RIP Mike. Say hi to Davy (who played Ocean City, MD's Sunfest or Springfest, I forget which, one year) and Peter.

Yours is at least the fourth thread.
I loved the Monkees. I won a raffle at school during my 7th grade and their album was the prize. It’s the only thing I won in my life except for my beautiful and patient wife.
There were a couple of posts. The one I browsed seemed to have a normal number of comments. My comment: so many people who had their heyday in the sixties are gone.
When did he get his booster shot?
Did you try to search the complete title? Unless the title of an earlier post matches your search exactly, nothing will come up.
It’s better to search just the one or two words that are most likely to be in a title about something. A search for only “Nesmith” shows three posts to have been made before yours.
He’s taken the last train to Clarksville.
I’ve had his song “Joanne” running through my head the last week or so. The early 70’s were some great music.

Good song writer. He deserved better.

Who else remembers that for the first year or two Paul Revere and the Raiders played the music because none of them could play well enough to perform?
Yep, my very first album was the Monkees! I was in 7th grade as well!
Part of his legacy:
