Nesmith was just at the Warner with Dolenz a month or so ago…

Michael Nesmith
Only Micky Dolenz is left. Davy Jones died in 2012 and Peter Tork died in 2019.
Paul on bass, Micky and Ringo on drums. Could be a pretty sick trio.
odd outliers here…as it always seems like the drummers are the first ones to go
I did like Nesmith, Repo Man wouldn't have been the same without him
never really got his due for all his talent

Nesmith was also the heir to the 3M fortune and one of the early creators of what morphed into MTV. Was very instrumental on music videos becoming an art form. He was, by far, the most interesting Monkee.
All true
Was he a Scientologist?
I got to say other than cheer of the sleepy Jean and a very few other songs I don’t get the monkeys hoopla

For whatever reason I can’t appreciate the Monkees or Nesmiths solo records…not sure why…but it’s obviously my failing

Disagree. It's all just opinion. If you don't like/appreciate it, that's your feeling, not your failing.

Umm "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone
Although original done by PR and the raiders theirs is the seminal version
And famously covered by the Sex Pistols and minor threat (their only recorded cover?)
Last train to Clarksville is great
Weren’t most of their hits written by Neil diamond
Steppin stone I wasn’t counting because it’s a cover altho you’re right it’s the best version.
I like Nesmith’s A Different Drum

Played with loads of musician, but per The Wikipedia
He was one of England's most utilized session bassists during the 1970s and 1980s, including Jeff Beck, and the Rod Stewart band from 1977 to 1980, but is probably best known for his later work with Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of The Doors.
