Re The Monkees:
they disastrously toured with Jimi hendrix on his first american tour!--the tour broke up after a number of shows, as i recall--
all the teeny boppers came out for the Monkees and found themselves being assaulted with the real heavy Jimi Hendrix Experience!
their film HEAD--jack Nicholson in it and was one of the writers as i remember--film was directed by Bob Rafelson who went on to do FIVE EASY PIECES and KING OF MARVIN GARDENS--both with Big Jack--
(at one point in college lived in same room in a rooming house Rafelson lived in--he came back to start working on a project to do film on the place and mainly to do with the landlady--a legendary local figure)--
Mike Nesmith one of pioneers of music videos--
once in Boston we had a white out party at basement lived in it at the time--huffing it--it was disappointing!--decorated parts of wall where had a mural going--with white out--and turned to the harder white stuff--celebrating an all night TWILIIGHT ZONE marathon on the channel 38--this went on until past dawn and then had to go to work--with white out all over hands and arms--strange twilight zone calligraphies for sure!
