Singer and guitarist, Michael Nesmith, eh? Did anyone get a comment from Milli or Vanilli about it?

 

[Gay Faggot.]

Wasn’t Peter Tork her favorite? Either way I actually like the monkees. I’m glad she’s sailing the seven seas so she’ll never hear about it.

His mother invented liquid paper, and he inherited wealth as a result. After that he basically ghosted them. They did a reunion tour or some such thing in the late 80s and Nesmith did one show and left.
