https://www.rollingstone.com/music/musi ... d-1270079/Monkees singer and guitarist Michael Nesmith, a pop visionary who penned many of the group’s most enduring songs before laying the groundwork for country rock with the First National Band in the early Seventies, died Friday from natural causes. He was 78.
Nesmith was no Cohen, no Dylan. But he was a terrific musician, a great innovator, the genesis of MTV, a writer of good pop songs and better-than-pop. I got to see him twice in London back in the early 70s - First National Band and one solo gig. Both were far more than worth the time, effort and money.
