The NEZ

Just watched Mike Nesmith's Elephant parts circa 1981 and liked it. I really laughed out loud more than a few times. It was funny, cute, clever. I can see why, from Elephant Pants, some call him the father of MTV. His website really communicates a man with varied interests and a big brain and nowdays he seems tres serious but Elephant Pants was a throwback to the days of the Monkees, I thought. The man is a really good writer.

Speaking of the Monkees, Giant step is probably one of my faves words and music by
Gerry Goffin and Carole King, they did a few. The drum beats in that song are really cool. Pleasant Valley Sunday, another. Nesmith's guitar in PVS is something I like to zone in on when I hear it on an oldies station, if I'm lucky. Midnight Train is another I like, written by Dolenz when he was 16. I can hear Cash doing that one.
i could go on and on...
