RIP... only Micky is left.

Damn! Was not a big Monkees fan but geez too young.Mike was the best musician of the 4.RIP bud.

Damn, I’d watch their show and listen to their music for years.

RIP Mr. Nesmith.

Great band and musicians. These guys put out some great material in there days. Sad to see Mike Nesmith passed. RIP.

I was wondering why I kept hearing their music on the radio today. Must have been tributes. Some of their music was pretty good.
Too many people we grew up with passing the last couple years. Makes me feel old.

My favorite Monkee. I’m a big fan and after watching the Monkees in syndication as a kid in the 70’s, I saw them in concert 6 or 7 times 1986-2021, the last time here in Seattle with the Mickey and Mike show in September 2021. Mike was visibly frail, spoke slowly and didn’t play guitar as he had in 2019 shows. However, he was about as happy to be in the presence of Monkees fans as he’d ever been, and I think it was a great way to wrap up his time on earth. He had family and friends in the touring band, and a rotating audience of adoring fans to thank him for his accomplishments. He leaves a big legacy in songwriting, video (MTV, Repo Man, etc) and of course his Mom invented Liquid Paper:).

RIP. The most talented Monkee!

"Words" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday", my 2 favorite Monkees songs. RIP Michael.

For me it was "I'm a Believer",was written by Neil Diamond I think.

Yep. I saw Neil years ago and he did a group of songs that he wrote, that were made famous by other performers. I'm a Believer was one of them. Neil was quite the song writer.

The Monkees influenced what we wore and how we looked in grade school. When our hair got too long the teachers would tell us to have it cut by the time we came to class the next day.
The barbers would always try to take off more than you wanted because the kids parents would send them back for more to be taken off. That was radical behavior for us in the 60’s..
