Hi Monkees-fans,

My recent update about the “Here They Come” CD from AUstralian turns out
to be nothing more than the Greatest Hits CD that came out from Warner in
the UK in 1997. It’s the same CD, nothing different 🙁

Hello! I just wanted to let you all know that The Monkees are mentioned
in a book titled “Cult TV: The Comedies” (sorry, I don’t recall the
name of the author) – I came across this book while at Borders. There
are two pages about their tv series and a b/w photo of The Monkees.

Love & Peace,
Joy

This short blurb about Davy appeared in yesterday’s (NOV 2) Chicago Tribune
page 2 Inc. column:

A guy’s gotta eat:

Ex-Monkee Davy Jones just signed to be a “jingle elf” in Chicago’s upcoming,
(Marshall) Field’s-sponsored Christmas parade. His job: dispensing
random acts of kindness. Not exactly the bright lights he once enjoyed, but
it’s still show biz.

On Sunday (01Nov98) I was flipping channels and came across a show called
Muppets Tonight on the Family channel. They were doing a Lolapalooza take
off and the first act they introduced was called the Benedictine Monks. 4
puppets all done up in brown robes take the stage. The Monks then throw the
robes aside to reveal tonsured caricatures of Davy, Micky, Mike (complete
with hat) and Peter and they proceed to sing Hey Hey We’re the Monk(ee)s.
The guest stars on the show were Penn and Teller so watch for the reruns.
Thought it was cute! :o)

some sort of keepsake box and some other smaller items. I believe there were
pillows also.

I was watching CNN’s ShowBiz Today 11/6/98 and they were talking about new
releases on Video and DVD and they talked about Elephant Parts;

{Voice Over Scene’s from Elephant Parts}
Freed from the Monkee cage, Mike Nesmith turned Video Mogul in the 70’s
creating the first really significant made-for-video release Elephant Parts.
Here on DVD the scene’s really show, but so the enormous energy that was
invested in this little project and Nesmith turns out to be a considerably
more talented musician that those Monkee albums would have you think.

Artist Biographies

Total Control – The Michael Nesmith Story
by Randi L. Massingill
FLEXquarters, softcover $18.95

Michael Nesmith has spent the better part of the past few decades trying to convince fans of the Monkees that he’s had a rather productive and successful life since. Those fans would do well to read this bio, the greater percentage of which is taken up with Nesmith’s post-Monkees solo years and his pioneering work in video and multi-media. It’s a painstakingly detailed account of the life and work of this creative musician and businessman, with just the right balance of fact, trivia and anecdote, thankfully free of the sort of gushing that has often accompanied Monkees-related books. Also includes a fabulously comprehensive discography. (1125 W Baseline #2F, Mesa AZ 85210)

Goldstar Entertainment Acquires ‘Summer of Love Tour ’99’ Plans First Multi-
Media Classic Rock & Roll National Tour

PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif., Nov. 10 /PRNewswire/ — Goldstar Entertainment
Media, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GENT) announced today that it had acquired
exclusive rights to the “SUMMER OF LOVE TOUR ’99” which will launch nationally
in May, 1999 for a five-month, sixty-date tour. The tour will feature
“Classic Rock” musicians from over ten major bands, including Iron Butterfly,
Jefferson Airplane, The Monkees, Young Rascals, and the Spencer Davis Group,
and will be the first concert tour in history to incorporate all aspects of
multi-media, including 3-D Vision, live Internet video and audio streaming, a
Cable TV Pay-Per-View event, and a cross promoted Direct Response TV (DRTV)
merchandising campaign.

The Concert Tour/DRTV Campaign will combine the promotional value of a high-
profile concert event with major artists using television commercials in that
market offering a music and memorabilia package by those artists. The tour
will also utilize cross-promotions with radio stations and other media
outlets, as well as national retail chains, to provide additional exposure.

Tour dates will be announced in mid-December. In addition, the company is
presently finalizing agreements with national media companies as joint venture
partners for the Pay-Per-View event and DRTV campaign. Live internet video
streaming of certain concert tour events, including exclusive backstage
footage, will be provided on the Company’s own web site www.real-rock.com.

Just wanted to let you all know that I found a place that sells the

shipping and handling. The link to the page is:

scripts, but if you email the person there, they will tell that they
have it. I don’t know how many copies they have left, but it should be

The Alert List said:

According to Peter and Micky, it’s neither of them.
And Davy will be on the Teen Idols tour.

The agent handling the Summer of Love tour is home with the flu, so I
haven’t been able to get an answer at that end, despite repeated calls.

Note that the press release said: “The tour will feature ‘Classic Rock’
MUSICIANS from over ten major bands, including…The Monkees…” Could
just be someone who’s played with them at some point?

I woke up this morning and the first thing I saw was Micky! He was on a
program called “Haven” and Joy Filbin was interviewing him IN HIS HOUSE!! They
were talking about Circus Boy and his directing career, etc. They showed some
artwork on the walls and took you into his bedroom to show the Indian headrest
that he wore at the Monterey Pop Fest. I didn’t catch the whole thing, but
click tv says it will be on again tomorrow (Sunday) at 5:00am on CBS. It was
awesome, set your alarms (or VCRs)!

Hi everyone!

I was researching for a paper at the school library on the internet, and
I came across a website that mentions the Monkees. The URL is
http://www.allmusic.com and the site is called All Music Guide. You have
to type in “The Monkees” It also has http://www.allmovie.com and that
is all Movie Guide. If you click on an indiviual Monkee name, they give
you a page on him with a biography(at all music). When I was at the all
movie guide, they even listed Micky’s father. Yes, they even have a
page on the members(seperate) at all movie guide that lists their tv
shows/movies. Both are good pages. Check ’em out!

For those of you who MUST have everything:

I uncovered a new bootleg yesterday at a local CD shop.

“Michael Nesmith: And the Live Stuff Stuff Keeps Comin'”
Release: Monkeyshines 002
This CD is of good quality and sound slike it was taken from the sound
board or from VERY close to the stage. Recorded LIVE at the Britt
Festival, Jacksonville, OR on 6/19/92

Tracks:
Two Different Roads
Papa Gene’s Blues
Propiniquity
Some of Shelly’s(sic) Blues
Joanne
Tomorrow adn Me
The Upside of Goodbye
Harmony Constant
Silver Moon
Yellow Butterfly
Moon Over the Rio Grande
Juliana
Laugh Kills Lonesome
I Am Not That
Rising Love

And lots of good Nez Chatter. He’s actually talking to the audience
about the songs and it appears that this concert was done on an “on”
night for Nez and the band (including John Hobbs and Red Rhodes. The
live version of Tomorrow and Me is excellent.

If you can find it, it is worth a listen, but I would never reccommend
buying it because it is a bootleg and Nez deosn’t get th money.

Thanks.

I found another article on World Book Online that compares the Monkees to
the Spice Girls. Unfortunately, they insulted the Monkee’s musical talent. 🙁

“Girl power.” Among the most successful yet controversial sensations of 1997
were the Spice Girls, a British quintet whose debut album, Spice, sold more
than 14 million copies following its release in February 1997. The group
released their second album, Spiceworld, late in 1997. Detractors claimed
that the popularity of the singers, most of whom were in their 20’s, owed
more to marketing than music and that the girls, who had nicknames such as Baby
Spice and Posh Spice, had been cast for their roles based more on looks than
on talent. Critics compared the group to the 1960’s band the Monkees, who
also offered fans more in appearance than musical talent. Although the Spice
Girls were not taken seriously by most older listeners, younger listeners,
especially young girls, rallied to the group’s prowoman “girl power” slogan.

I was browsing World Book Online when I came upon an article about popular
music of 1966. This is what it said about the Monkees:

Rock. Though the Beatles and a few other British groups retained their
popularity with the American public, there was a noticeable trend toward
domestic rock units. One, the Monkees, was created specially as the subject
of a television series and was simultaneously launched on records. The
Monkees came from Hollywood, Calif., the point of origin of several other
top groups such as Paul Revere and the Raiders, and Gary Lewis and the
Playboys.

I just put on the Critic on Comedy Central (not my usual choice but
nothin else is on), and this Australian gal that Jay is going with is
telling him all the men she’s slept with and they do a little time jump
then she says

“Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork”

ULTRA GROOVEY! I didn’t hear Davy or Mike’s name tho. Just the
CUTE one and the sweet one!

I dunno if it’ll be on again — it’s the 2:30 A (central) airing (Sun
morning that is). I don’t know when this show is on.

Subject: Peter Tork Radio Interview

Roseann Flickenger, the Keeper of the Peter Tork Official Website,
has graciously posted the radio interview that aired October 23rd
on KEZY – FM 95.9 in Orange County, Calif. It features Peter torking
about the SSB show, the 7th heaven episode, and SSB in general.

Background: Peter called me at work, I was secluded upstairs
in a secret room. We were both in a conference call with the radio
station, who messed up and gave Peter and I the wrong number
at first. The phone call was actually on the 22nd, and they edited
a wonderful 18 minute interview with Peter down to a little over
3 minutes, which aired the next morning at 8:06 AM PST. I taped
it at home, then digitized it with a soundblaster. This I converted
into a RealAudio file, and e-mailed it to Zan (Roseann) with some
pics courtesy of Nadine Saunders, who was at the show, with camera.

Yes, the other voice you hear is me. I get a bit of ribbing for having
the name David Jones, but not too bad. How many people get to
be on the radio with Peter? Definately a SuperDay for me.

Thanks Roseann and Nadine for their contributions, and for
immortalizing me on the Peter Tork website!

Keep your eyes peeled to the Alert list for the SSB movie! I’ve
seen parts of it already, it is stunning! (well, heck, I’m in it, so
my opinion is moot). Jeannette, who is a RL Television Editor,
is working hard to complete it, hopefully in time for Christmas.

Thanks for letting me brag a little (OK, a lot)

NEWS FROM THE UK

In the December issue of MOJO there is a full page (154) on Peter leaving
the Monkees. The interview was conducted by Andrew Vaughn.

At the end Peter says, “Right now I have a band playing Chicago blues and
swing; I’m also doing a solo album. “

“I’m still going to television auditions. Sometimes I get a part, sometimes
I don’t.”

“I’ve just finished a show called 7th Heaven.”

“The Monkees may not get in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we weren’t a
great group…but as far as music and television goes we were the best.”

Best wishes

Great news for Micky fans, there’s a new Micky video avaiable. Last
summer Micky got the chance to finally act with his daughter Ami.
Together they filmed a pilot for a show entitled “Who’s for Dinner?”
Additionally Micky directed the pilot and it was produced by Samantha,
his first wife. The format for the show was later changed so this pilot
will never be aired, but Samantha decided it would be a shame if fans
never got to see it, so she decided to offer it herself.

To obtain the pilot send a check or money order for $19.95 plus $3.00 for
postage to:
Flower Power Productions
3870 La Sierra Ave. #144
Riverside, CA 92505

Allow 2 weeks for delivery.

Hey guys!

I was looking around the Video Movie Guide book for some ideas on my
next story, and I found that the author had reviewed Head. I thought
that was pretty cool! It reads:

Head (1968) Three Stars: They get the funniest looks from everyone they
meet. And it’s no wonder. This film is truly bizarre. The Monkees were
hurtled to fame in the aftershock of the Beatles’ Success. Their
ingratiating series was acused of imitating A Hard Day’s Night, but
their innovative feature-film debut, Head, was ahead of its time. A
free-form product of the pshchedelic era.

86m. Dir: Robert Rafelson. Cast: Micky Dolenz, David Jones, Mike
Nesmith, Peter Tork, Teri Garr, Vito Scotti, Timothy Carey, Logan
Ramsey.

It was just interesting to read @:o)

The Monkees Home Page is reviewed in the December issue of Discoveries
Magazine, in Jeff Tamarkins “Where Thw Interaction Is” column. A very
favorable review, it reads as follows:

The Monkees Home Page (http://www.flexquarters.com/monkees.htm)

“They remain immensely popular today, and there are dozens of sites
devoted to the Monkees, but this is the best one we’ve seen yet. A “New
Stuff” section keeps fans up to date on activities involving the
foursome. There are sections for each individual member, links galore,
photos, then and now areas, chats, the TV show, the music, the works.
Very nicely done.”

This may have been released in previous years, but for all of you who haven’t
seen it: On the “Billboard Presents: Family Christmas Classics” album, put out
by Kid Rhino, Riu Chiu is featured. It’s track five on the CD release I have.
It says from the 1967 Christmas Episode, but of course, the version is the
released one, from Missing Links Vol.2. Just thought you’d like to know, at
least the Monkees get on other releases occasionally, huh?

Barnes & Noble online chat with Michael Nesmith from 11/19/98

Good evening, and welcome to the barnesandnoble.com live auditorium! Coming
up at 7pm ET — Hey, hey, it’s a novel! — award-winning musician, writer,
producer and former Monkee, Michael Nesmith joins us in the auditorium to
chat about his mesmerizing fiction debut, THE LONG SANDY HAIR OF NEFTOON
ZAMORA. To submit a question for Michael Nesmith, click on the Submit
Question button above. And if you don’t already have your copy of THE LONG
SANDY HAIR OF NEFTOON ZAMORA, now is your chance to order your own at 40%
off! A limited number copies with bookplates signed by Nez are available for
purchase — click on the book jacket to order, and we’ll ship yours right to
your door! Thanks for dropping by, and we look forward to chatting with you
and Nez at 7pm ET! See you then…

Nick Esposito from Jericho: “Mr. Nesmith, those of us who’ve been reading
Neftoon since the beginning — when you began posting and editing the
still-experimental pieces in the early days of Videoranch — know that there
is a strong autobiographical element running through the story. Was there a
particular incident in your own life that directly spurred the writing of
the novel?”

Mike: “The book is symbolic. I drew heavily on my own life, but the symbols
are universal. These are issues I have thought about for a long time, but
have never felt ready to tackle putting them down in a book. I made some
early attempts, but they were awful. I discovered the reason for this was my
own life had not informed enough of the spirit I was trying to convey, so
the ideas were sort of half baked. When I moved to New Mexico and had the
time to think deeply about things, everything started falling in place to
set these ideas out, but it was not a single event, just the slow
development over time. I’m looking forward to doing more.”

Shane Worden from Oshkosh, Wisconsin: “Hello Nez!! Michael, we have known
you for many years as an actor, producer, musician and comedian–but not
really as an author. How has writing “LSHONZ” compared with some of the
other undertakings of your career? Additionally, is this something that you
would like to focus more of your future energies on? Thanks much!!”

Mike: “LSHONZ was the hardest thing I ever did artistically. But i learned a
lot and have started on my second book, and it’s a lot easier. I hope to do
more, but much will depend on how LSHONZ fairs in the market place.”

terri from Cleveland, Ohio: “During a discussion with LittleHorse, Nez
starts to answer the question “Do you believe in God?” but is interrupted.
Since I have heard the book described as autobiographical, I am curious to
know what religion you were brought up with and what religion you embrace
now.”

Mike: “I was raised a Christian Scientist. In the first iteration of LSHONZ
I got into that, but the editor(s) wanted it out, so I agreed. I studied
many religions, spent a lot of time with some of the Eastern teachings, but
find that I have never had a question that the teachings of Christian
Science failed to answer. I am most certainly not a prosletyzer sp? tho.”

Trish Adkinson from Knoxville: “As a long-time fan, I was particularly
touched by your recollections of your childhood in “Neftoon”. How did you
come to the decision to weave autobiographical passages into a fictional
novel?”

Mike: “In the first iteration online I had even more in there than appear
now, but St Martin’s was uncomfortable with it. As I said, though, to Nick,
the book is symbolic, not autobigraphical and so I was happy to leave some
of the anecdotal elements out, as long as what remained got the point(s)
across. The decision to put the autobigraphical elements in in the first
place had as much to do with a lot of strange and wonderful things happening
to me over my life, and I found myself wanting to share that.”

Harriet L. Perry from New York City: “I think it was very progressive and
generous of you to make the first seven chapters of “LSHONZ” available to
your fans via the Internet. My congratulatons on your courageous, continued
penchant towards innovation, as well as on a remarkable work. I have a
three-part question for you in light of this: a. What do you think of the
recent controversy regarding the offering of albums as downloadable files on
the ‘Net, and the record companies’ efforts to block this? b. Did your
publishers have reservations about your posting your work on your site, and
c.Would you like to see other authors making their writings available to the
public in this way? Thank you, and best wishes for continued success!”

Mike: “I have always believed in the free sample. There is a point at which
the author has to get paid, though, so it gets tricky trying to decide just
how big asample to give. I’m expecting to make my music available in MP3,
but again, only samples of it, hoping it will interest people enough to buy
the whole thing.”

Rick from Long Island: “Hey Nez…I’ve been a long time fan of all your work
and it comes as no surprise to me that you now add “author” to your long
list of accomplishments. I’ve read that you’ve written some songs that go
along with Neftoon Zamora-do you have any plans to do a companion album to
the book? And let me say thanks for sharing your gift of music with all of
us-it has certainly been a big part of my life!”

Mike: “Thanks. Yeah, I did, write some songs to go with Neffie and they are
still around, but I didn’t have the time or energy to go and record them.
The song “Got to trust the Pilot” is one of the original ones, and there are
a stack of others. Whether I will ever record them will depend on the
success of the book. If it tanks, I’ll just hum them to myself in the car
and annoy Victoria.”

Laura from New Orleans, LA: “Hi Michael! First I wanna say that I love your
work. Your music, your movies, what I’ve read of your book so far…it’s all
teriffic. I wanted to ask you about the booksigning tour I’ve been hearing
about. I heard you were supposed to go out this month, but I haven’t yet
seen any dates and places. Is there gonna be a booksigning tour? Just
curious…I’d really like to meet you. Peace and Love.”

Mike: “Sorry, no book signing tour. There has been a lot of confusion
getting the book out. LSHONZ has been finished for a few YEARS now, and the
timing just got worse and worse. If the first printing takes off, then I’ll
go out, but otherwise, it’s just me and Videoranch.com and the new 3dVranch”

Jan Swanton from London, England: “You mention Rousseau in the novel, to
what extend did classical philosophy influence you when you wrote the book?”

Mike: “Well. I also mention I Love Lucy and I’m not sure where the emphasis
is. I have very little patience with classical philosohers, Rousseau is one
that I find particularly silly. Then I never had him over for dinner, and
that is really the best way to tell. But he wont take my calls. Is he OK?
What ever happened to him. I mean Buffett STILL tours for cryin’ out loud.”

mm from nj: “Your book’s cover shows red rock formations like the ones in
Monument Valley (where I just visited recently). Tell us about your love
affair with the Southwest landscape.”

Mike: “Well, the Southwest is really a state of mind, from the Stagecoach of
John Ford to Thelma and Louise. I can’t describe what happens to one in this
territory but it is magical. I mean even Leone tried to build the Southwest
in Italy … and came up with Clint. The sky and the land meet somehow and
give substance to the idea of infinity, and that just jacks me up. so to
speak.”

Angela from North Carolina: “When you write, do you think primarily in words
or images? Or does it depend on what you’re writing–i.e. song lyrics vs.
prose?”

Mike: “The most important thing i learned in writing was to be comfortabel
with not knowing exactly how the idea would express itself. Ithought this
was weird at first. I had no real idea how Neffie would end, even though I
knew what it was about. But then I found out that all my favorite writers
start off blind like that, and I just began to trust the process. Ofcourse
the medium is words, and I think in words a lot, but the challenge comes
when one encounters the ineffable, or needs to describer something special.
That takes a lot of thought in of many different types, and a LOT of
rewriting.”

Leisa Heitman from Texas: “I enjoyed reading the beginnings of LSHONZ at
Videoranch. Where did they idea for the story come from? Did it just evolve
as you went along, or did you have a definite idea of where you were
headed?”

Mike: “The idea was to convery the existence of a special place inside all
of us. Something deep, akind of mental buzzer that goes off when we get near
something that moves us. It had evolved by the time I started to write, but
I didn’t know the specific beats of the story.”

Barbara Oakley from Rhode Island: “Is Neffie a real person?”

Mike: “yes”

dobolina* from Vermont: “How did you come to choose the cover art for
LSHONZ? Did you have a concept that you shared with an artist, or did an
artist present you with his/her idea? …Have you created any visual art
yourself?”

Mike: “i described the art to the folks at St Martin’s and they rendered the
idea. i think they did a good jpb. It looks just like it did in my mind.”

me from nj: “Your writings so far have all had a similar theme…Neftoon is
about the “secret place” inside each of us, “The Prison”‘s big message was
“you were free all the time, you just didn’t know it”….those concepts are
so similar to the theme of “HEAD”, where the Monkees try to escape the
prison their fame has created and find that secret place…does everything
in your writing and your life go back to that Monkees experience? Are the
wounds from that experience still there?”

Mike: “The Monkees have had very little lasting effect on me. it fits
somewhere in there with my high school prom, sort of half remembered, a girl
with red hair and green eyes and a corsage. It is always a nice spot in my
mind, but I was an actor for hire, had bigger fish to fry, and have been
frying them ever since. I loved the show, but …”

MagBun the Geek from Madison, WI: “I read an article in an old “Hit Parader”
magazine in which you mentioned that you had written a book (or giant poem?)
about a kid who somehow ended up as a photograph in the sky, but weren’t
going to publish it ostensibly for fear of comparison with John Lennon. Does
that book exist? Do you plan on publishing it? P.S. — You rock! Thank you
for all you’ve given to Nezheads and society in general.”

Mike: “Yeah, I tossed that. I was with Lennon a bit in the sixties, during
Sgt Peppers (see the documentary?) and was more or less outside everything
that was happening there. But, then, when I found myself writing and coming
up with various ideas, I was surprised to find a lot of what I was thinking
was going on in everybodies elses head as well, so I thought I’ll just pull
back and hum to myself. They all sang better than I did anyway.”

Michelle from Virginia: “How did your mother come up with the idea of
“Liquid Paper”?”

Mike: “She was a part time graphics artist, and they paint out there
mistakes. She was a secretary by day, and when the electric typewriter came
along, and she kept hittin all the wrong keys, she just connected the dots,
and bingo.”

Samantha Lane from Waltham, Mass: “Michael, what was the hardest part about
writing this book”

Mike: “The writing was a joy. I love to write. It’s the getting it published
and marketed and so forth that is the toughest.”

Lorrie from Wisconsin: “What did you discover about yourself after writing
this book?”

Mike: “I’m writing a new novel now called “The America Gene” It’s all in
there. I’m trying to avoid my own personal Las Vegas.”

Francie from Atlanta: “Greetings, Michael! I have ordered a copy of the book
from Videoranch and am eagerly awaiting it’s arrival. I have one question
(actually, too many to ask them all here) to ask you. Do you feel any
connection to the dreamtime? When I read and reread (and reread, ad
infinitum) the chapters posted on your web site, I could not help but feel
the surrealism within the sentences. It is almost like Nez is walking
somewhere in the twilight. Did any dream help influence this book? Thanks so
much, and peace. ;->”

Mike: “Not much dreamtime going on in here. More magical realism. I find
those thoughts most wonderful when they are actively with me, when I am
awake.”

all of us from ohio: “Cookies? Chocolate chip or peanut butter?”

Mike: “Oatmeal”

Andia Love from Florida: “Hi! Allow me to make this disclaimer: being one of
your younger fans (sixteen to be exact) I’m just a little nervous about
trying to word this question correctly, so if it doesn’t make much sense,
bear with me. I read the first few chapters of TLSHONZ on VR, and was
greatly intrigues, especially by the resemblance of your style of writing to
Lewis Carroll’s. Therefore I have a 2-part question. 1: Do you find younger
individuals relating much to the abstractness of the ideas presented in the
book (I love them); and 2: Will your second novel be any sort of sequel to
this one?”

Mike: “Terrific. Lewis Carroll, the company of kings. He is one of my
favorites. It seems to be the younger the better. When one is mature and can
think deeply for a long time (by just having the time to do it, I mean) then
the ideas hold up. But the first rush of understanding seems to be the
provence of youth. Young or old really doesn’t have all that much meaning
though, it is the state of mind that counts, time being the illusion that it
is.”

Samantha from Mass.: “Whos Victoria?”

Mike: “The one final great love of my life”

Ida from Florida: “Hello Mr. Nesmith, I have a question. As far as song
writing and writing in general goes, who are your major influences?”

Mike: “Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael, and Xavier Cugat”

Cynthia Perkins from Gasport, NY: “I’ve been very impressed with all that
you’ve accomplished over the years. I’ve been a long time fan. I was
wondering if Neffie from your book is made up partly of people you’ve met
along the way or is she someone entirely imaginative?”

Mike: “She is an amalgam in the book, but she represents the various parts
of the ideas the books contained. I have never met anyone person who
embodies all the qualities Neffie does in the book.”

Michael Nesmith will be with us for a little while longer to chat about his

Barb from Cincinnati: “Michael, What’s the last good book you read?”

Mike: “The last one was Love in the Time of Cholera, Garcia-Marques.”

Cinzia from Florence, Italy: “Ciao! What was the most exciting and
interesting place that you ever traveled to?”

Mike: “I love the Riviera, and spent some happy times there, Baja California
has always had a special place for me, as does the southwest, but I recently
went to Dublin, and have never been as affected by a city as I was by it.
Something in the water, in the air, in the eyes of its people. My spririt
soared. But in the last analysis, it makes little difference where I am, so
long as the spirit of great art and beauty are expressed, I am happy.”

Sarah from Missouri: “Who are your favorite authors or the ones that
influence your writing the most?”

Mike: “Italo Calvino, Gabriel Garcia-Marques, Milan Kundera, all sitting at
the feet of Lewis Carroll.”

Lindsay Sample from Pittsburgh, PA: “Hey Mike, just wondering where in the
name os Sonny Bono you came up with the title of the book.. Not making fun
of it or anything, but there seems to be a story behind everything; how the
Hermit’s got their group name, The Mijacogeo name, etc. I just wondered why
you chose this title. And another question: any issues on The Princess Show
(Fairy Tale) in your book? :)~Jewels”

Mike: “It came to me one day when I was standing in fornt of my bookshelf. A
voice spoke, maybe it was the neighbor, and it said THE LONG SANDY HAIR OF
NEFTOON ZAMORA, over and over and over and over until I finally ALL Right
already, I’ll call it that. Sheesh.”

Diane from Pa: “Hi Mike! I have been mesmerized by your many talents from
acting to singing, etc. etc…I would just like to know where is your
favorite place to write?”

Mike: “I write on my computer in my studio in my home in New Mexico, that;s
the onlyu place I ever tried, but I’m thinking of taking cruise and …”

Cat from Bristol,VA: “I know you probably have better things to do than
answer this,but… If Liquid Paper dries practically as soon as hits air,
how did you get it out of a ketchup bottle into one of the little
containers?”

Mike: “They were squeeze bottles. Stick the little pointy end in the bottle
and squeeeeeze. No air got in.”

Jessica Nienstedt from Oshkosh, WI: “You mentioned earlier in this chat that
Neffie is a real person. Is it too personal to ask whom?”

Mike: “yep”

Magnolia from Silver Lake, CA: “What music have you been listening to
lately?”

Mike: “I can’t pronounce or spell their names. I went out and bout all the
recommended titles in the September issue of wired and listened to them.
Once or twice. Then its back to Rachmaninoff, Bernstein’s Rhapsody in Blue
with the NYPhil, and the French Impressionist composers, Ravel and Debussy.
No, not Bolero, but I’ve heard worse.”

Oatmeal Cookie Monster from Cookie Land: *hands Nez some homemade Oatmeal
cookies*

Mike: *Nez virtually scarfs and then blows down
some milk.rwx

Cat from Bristol,VA: “Hi. Its me again. I’m a young writer,just starting
out. Any words of wisdom?”

Mike: “Yes, but not wisdom, just encouragement. Do It! Make it happen. Ideas
are the most important currency we have. The more the merrier.”

Andy from Britain: “Hi Michael. In later chapters on the internet it seemed
to me at one point that the novel would develop into a UFO story. Have you
ever witnessed a UFO encounter in the New Mexico desert and if you haven’t
do you believe in them?”

Mike: “No, and beats me.”

you go, do you have any closing comments for your audience?”

Mike: “does this mean I have to leave?”

Sarah Ervin from Waco, Texas: “Mr. Nesmith, I think you’re a really great
man in every thing you do and have done, and I have one question: In your
long, successful, and productive musical career, is there one song out of
all of them that you are particularly proud of, and if so, why?”

Mike: “I like Rio and Tapioca Tundra”

Stephanie from California: “Mike, I heard that you were getting involved in

else”

soon — thank you for staying to chat for a little while longer! Now, before
you go, do you have any last words for your fans tonight?”

Mike: “It looks like the chat is over, so goodnight all. May the Spirit of
Peace, Truth and Beauty be your guide, steer you clear of weird ‘burgers,
and above all, help you watch! So long, and thanx for the ride.nez”

On Lifetimes Intamate Portarait, they mentioned The Monkees.
They were interviewing Olivia Newton John and she talked about when she was
introduced to Don Kirshner, and how he was the producer of The Monkees, they
also showed a color picture of the four. 🙂

Peace,
Janna
