Monkees in Texas is so jonesmith married couple (Mike is a hardworking breadwinning husband and Davy’s his trophy wife)

I NEVER REALIZED THIS WAS THE SAME GUY FROM THE TEXAS EPISODE OF THE MONKEES WTF.

I watched all of these Torchy Blane movies on TCM a few months ago for the first time and he was literally in all of them. Never put the pieces together.

RIP Mike Nesmith. He would’ve loved Donald Trump found guilty of 34 felony charges

I hope there’s an afterlife so Mike Nesmith can finally experience joy 🙏

i feel like having mike break the male-voiced computer in monkee vs machine by flirting with it is either quite gay or a nod to the “now be a girl” in mikes screen test. either way mike can flirt with something male-presenting.

It's been a second since I polished one of these off. I've used Nez in my collages before, but never as the main subject.

I typed lyrics from his "Tomorrow & Me" with my new Smith Corona typewriter, and used lots of cartoons ripped off of a collection of CB radio QSL cards from the archive I work at. I also made sure the barn interior pic in the background was from TEXAS. I'm really pleased with how this came out.

for mikes birthday in 1987, the boys saved and planned months in advance to get mike a washing machine installed into the pad so that he doesn't have to keep going out all the time to do laundry and when the day comes he's so excited he almost passes out

Hehe hey remember that brief period in time when Mike Nesmith (The Monkees' lead guitarist and resident asshole) looked almost identical to Jimmy Page (who was not yet but would be Led Zeppelin's lead guitarist and resident asshole. I mean, a bigger asshole than the other members. Which I can't really say for The Yardbirds which was his band at the time, lest we forget Eric Clapton, who is/was at least as much of an asshole as Page, is also an alumnus of The Yardbirds. Anyway)? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

Anyway, a few key differences between these two control freak stick figures of undeniable talent but dubious likeability: Mike Nesmith could actually drive (and with proficiency) a car as well as a motorcycle (as well as -- I believe -- an airplane?) and punch a hole clear through drywall (true story), whereas Mister Black Magick on the other hand didn't (and still doesn't? Not sure?) have a driver's license, was not reasonably safe on a motorcycle even as a passenger (true story), and any attempt to do bare-knuckled physical damage to the structural integrity of a building would probably result in Jimmy looking like this:

Thank you for coming to my "How to Tell the Difference Between the Lanky Raven Haired Lead Guitarist Douchebags in lemongrablothbrok's Favorite Late '60s/early '70s Pop/Rock Quartets Where There's Two Capricorns and One is Some Cute Lil Guy Named Jones and the Other One is This Bitch Right Here" TED Talk. I forget why I did it in the first place, I think I was bored. And because comparing and contrasting arbitrary shit is my jam.

Also a couple months ago I had this dream that Led Zeppelin had their own TV show like The Monkees except it was them. Which would have been fucking wild. I blame those charmingly domestic indoor shots from the Chateau Marmont photoshoot for planting such zany ideas in my subconscious.

what are some of your favorite Monkees scenes and/or episodes?

Oof, loaded question 😳

My favourite episodes; Monkee See, Monkee Die Mostly because of the scene where they’re all in the bed together, it’s so cute. And so is them in their jammies :3 Everywhere a Sheik Sheik, Too many girls, The Success Story, The Chaperone, Monkee Chow Mein, Monkees in the ring, Fairy tale, Some like it lukewarm, and wild monkees (all the davy centric episodes… shocker)

I love the scene in art for monkees sake where they’re tying Peter up so he can “suffer for his art” and then again when the guy tries to charge Micky for the “masterpiece” on his shirt. Maybe it’s just cuz I’m an art student that I find that episode so amusing.

I also love the scene in red shoes where she wants Peter because of his face and Micky turns the gun on her and Davy’s all like “oh god no!”

In find the monkees (i think) where Davy’s playing the (idk brass instruments my apologies everyone) the horn and he’s like “what’s the racquet?” And mikes like “your playing”. I love all their little banter moments where you tell they’re genuinely laughing like in monkees at the circus where mikes giving the farm report and peters losing it.

Hitting the high sea where Davy’s delivering the food to the captain and he’s pretending to be all wobbly on the boat, i dunno why but its so comedic to me

Lastly, I think the scene In Monkee Mayor when Mike goes through the complaints door and ends up outside is the funniest thing ever 😭
