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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wanted me to rule the world for them." - Prof. Foote, "Help!" +++++++++++++++++++++++ From: "silverman@ulster.net" 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. Anna ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From: "silverman@ulster.net" 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.

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).

Sometimes I get a part, sometimes I don't." "I've just finished a show called 7th Heaven."

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.

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.

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" We are chatting live with award-winning musician, writer, producer, former Monkee, and now novelist, Michael Nesmith, who is discussing his mesmerizing fiction debut, THE LONG SANDY HAIR OF NEFTOON ZAMORA.

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."

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.
