Not everything I post here is game-related.
Friday Night Videos is a prime example. And in truth, there might not be a Friday Night Videos (or even an MTV as we used to know it) without the pioneering work of Mike Nesmith.
Nesmith, who passed away on December 10 at the age of 78 was one of the members of the fake rock band, The Monkees. LAter he created the show PopClips that was later sold to Time Warner and gave us MTV. This is not a surprise since the Monkees show was essentially a surreal sitcom with music video sensibilities. It played in reruns to kids like me that would grow up into teens with MTV.
Mike Nesmith is the Godfather of Music Videos. Yes, there were music videos before, some WAY before, but he turned them into entertainment for the masses.
So here's Nes and some of my favorite songs he has written.
He also was featured on songs written by others.
His best though, is one he wrote and performed and became something of a signature song.
Weren't they good, they made me happy. Miss yeah Nes.
