Blimey, that didn't take long.
Either way not a bad musical sub thread for a Friday without distracting from the RIP though.

Someone's pissing about with his Wikipedia page with poor taste edits about the cause of his death.
When I checked about five minutes ago it said he had died from a gunshot wound to the head which shocked me as I hadnt previously read that anywhere else. I then checked national media to verify whether it was newly disclosed information and found nothing to confirm this. I went back to the Wikipedia page and in that couple of minutes it had been re-edited to say he had died peacefully as per the national media reports.

Whilst Stepping Stone is their masterpiece, Nesmith was the real talent of the band. He wrote hits for others including the Mod icon P.P. Arnold and this corker

Talented guy in his own right and Rio certainly memorable. It’s the quirky Monkees singles that stick out for me such as the one I’m posting here - as well as Cheer Up Peter Reid of course!
RIP Mike

My wife said she would leave me due to my obsession with the Monkees. I thought she was joking till I saw her face and now I believe her!

One of the last songs he recorded. Just him and Mickey Dolenz. I think it's gorgeous.
