He does favor his dad. Mike got married in '64. According to IMDB, Mickey was the only one that announced to the public he was married. Nice to see another offspring of the group. I only know Ami Dolenz.
Did anyone else read the very lovely words he put out yesterday after the passing of Davy Jones? It was beautiful, and frankly, out of anything I heard from anyone what Nez said was the most comforting. I think he's talented and lovely, and I enjoy hearing anything that he ever has to say. What he decides to do personally and professionally is his business, just like anyone else.
I am appalled by some of the comments on this! I have been a Monkees fan since I was twelve (fifteen years, so not as long as some folks I realize) and I love all four guys for their individual qualities. To hear some of the things that are being said about Michael here is very disappointing, especially all of the false assumptions people make. I have been paying attention and I have NEVER heard Michael say anything nasty about any individual member of the group.
Wow--I wasn't for sure it was the same Mike Nesmith from the Monkees. At one time he wanted no part of the Monkees. I guess thru the years they may have settled their differences, I know he never wanted to tour with them again.. So sad to lose Davey so soon after this interview,
Amazing for me... not seeing Michael Nesmith, but seeing his son, Jason. I gave him his very first guitar lesson when he was about seven years old... He was in an afternoon day care program where I worked...That would have been around 1974... Wow!
Davy gone. I need to process this one. Very sad. R.I.P. Davy. Some of the greatest music of all time...
A week ago I commented right below in this thread:
"Well you know, it's just nice and amazing that all four of them are still alive and kicking more or less this far down the road (Feb 17, 2012). That's more than can be said about just about all of their contemporaries and later classic groups."
Well you know, it's just nice and amazing that all four of them are still alive and kicking more or less this far down the road (Feb 17, 2012). That's more than can be said about just about all of their contemporaries and later classic groups.
@gli7utubeo - wow, how "prophetic" your post turned out to be. Just look what was around the corner of that road (2-17-12) and that just 12 days later we would lose Davy. How sad. 11:56 am 2-29-12 LEAP YEAR
Mike looks like a kindly 70-year-old. No surprise there. Others of his generation didn't look half that good in their 40s. Kieth Richards. Mick Jagger.
@SotR59 I'm with you bud - shocked the shit out of me. We shouldn't be surprise though, he's 70 after all. Actually this is the decade that is going to really freak all of us boomers out. All the rock stars we grew up with are now heading into their 70's and when you haven't seen them for some 40 plus years, it can be quite shocking. I saw a video of Grace Slick a short while ago and my jaw dropped. If Nesmith shocked you, don't check Grace out. She's pretty much unrecognizable...
@paleblue498 Cont....with a chubby face and short white hair. I still think of her at Woodstock...God she was hot. Not anymore, she's quite literally an old lady. Oh well, none of us are getting out of this world alive and we're all going to end up (if we live that long) just the same as our great-grandparents: old, wrinkled and bald. Kind of scary and sad to think about really...
I don't know. I have seen Mike interviewed before and he has never come off as warm and fuzzy. I wonder if his experience in the music biz has hardened him over the years.
How can you possibly tell me to get over myself when you're on YouTube attacking someones appearance? I am here because I am a supporter - not a fucker who uses the World Wide Web to........you know what? Fuck it. I'll go ahead and leave you alone. You are clearly one of those bitches who can't see the train until it is two inches in front of them. Do whatever you're doin'. Post whatever you post. Sorry I bothered you at all.
very intelligent father and son. always enjoyed mike, as a member of the monkees. there was a time when he dissed his group members .... but i think that's all water under the bridge. he seemed to want to advance and didn't want the silliness to keep him down, which is understandable. sure has aged dramatically! something you youngins can look forward to, even though, i haven't!
@frizzlefrap I'm 57, so I am kind of tuned in as to how people my age and older are starting to look. As far as Nesmith goes, don't forget....during his Monkees years, we (I assume you're my age or close) always saw him in a stocking cap. He may have been balding at that point of his life, at least up top. He did have long hair that flowed around his cap. You know, if you picture him with some hair in that interview....he really looks pretty darn good. Looks in shape, not all wrinkly, etc.
He's thankfully telling people he actually loves The Monkees! The fact he was more than willing to play with them again,and to direct their 1996 ABC-TV Special says way more than the things that were written about him! WELL DONE!

@bobeagle007 He DID play with his old buddies one last time! Just how many more "one last time" 's is he supposed to do, to keep you happy? 1? 10? 1000? I'm sure that he can,t wait for your answer, so he can get right out there "one last time" just for you. Then he might be able to get on with his life, thank you very much.

@plasticdogfood weeeeelll, i'm gonna say there is no "one last time". If he cared nothing about music, he wouldn't be here with his musician son at an event for musicians. He has a right to turn his back on his past, but if he does that..., the rest of us have a right to talk shit about him for doing that!
now I love him. but c'mon man! dance with the girl that brought you and spend a week a year hangin' with your old buds in rehearsal and play a show! (just cause you don't have to work bro....)
@bobeagle007 You're a very stupid human being . "Play ball with his buddies one last time"? Are you being real? You have no idea what the music business/industry is about, do you?
you know the music biz right? oh let me just look up your body of work?
you know what? I can't find a fucking thing about you..strange.Just looked at your page..nothing going on there except some broke ass imbecile sitting in his bedroom 'studio'..you making beats? or beating your meat..
What? You insult me, what I'm working on and where I'm doing it. You insult Nesmith and his appearance / music. Yet, you're watching videos of both.You must be insane. Get a life, you stupid motherfucker. By the way, "making beats" is not an intellectual musical term. It would be in your best interest to quit now before your get your feelings hurt. And, if you'd like to continue, that's fine. Just don't accuse me of bothering/stalking you later. I Do know you....your type...a bitch.
I saw him at Largo in L.A. back in August and he looked GREAT. Lost like 40 pounds. Looked like he's great good ol' self! Tall, in jeans, black t shirt and BIG NEZ GRIN.. He was Great, sounded Great and looked Great! And of course, we all gave him a standing ovation. Micky Dolenz was there too!
Wow I'm only 25 but grew up listening to the Monkees.. He will always be woolhat to me no matter how old he gets.. He was a real firecracker in his younger days, and so creative. Amazing guy. And his son looks so much like him. I agree it's hilarious that his son is working with Ahmed. Continuing the tradition.
I'm glad Mike has gotten over his hostility toward The Monkees. The saddest thing is that he may be losing his hearing. There could be no worse fate for such a talented musician and composer. Look what has happened to George Martin. He is almost totally deaf now and can't enjoy the wonderful stuff he produced with The Beatles.
I think he's still pretty handsome considering his age. When I was a wee one, every week, my friends and I had crushes on a different Monkee. Of course, my favorite was Davy, and then Mike and then Peter with poor Mickey always the last pick.Hey, MIke, still looking good!!!
He looks great....you are right....helllllooooo it is aging and everyone will do it....actually he aged well. He is who he is...let it be. Wow, freaky how much Jason looks like his pop!
Those of you who are dissing the way Mike looks are total douche bags. I'd like to see your asses when you're his age. Let's not forget his TALENT and his contribution to the arts beyond the Monkees such as being an early music video pioneer, a visionary on people creating their own content using social media, and the forward-thinking movies he produced. Plus, the man had a beautiful voice. Be thankful for the wonders and talent you've been able to witness during your life on earth.
Much respect to Mike for doing what's in his heart and not merely swimming in the echoes of his past fame. Mickey sang most of their best hits in my opinion, but Mike was always the coolest and still is.
The reason he looks so old is because of the way his hairline receded and his hair is gray. If he still had a full head of hair he would look much like he used to. Old age is creeping up. Also , he had a beard for many years and its gone.
"do you still get Monkees questions after all these years?"
Well what did you just ask him douchebag? Mike nezmith looks like Gorbachev here. I did not think it was him. And if women find him handsome right now, i'll be happy to be half that when i'm his age.
when i was a young teenager back in the mid to late 80's i had the biggest crush on mr. nesmith oh my goodness did i!!! he still looks good after all these years and his son is a spitting image of him! what a proud papa he must me. :)
Mike seems more at peace with the whole 'Monkees' thing. he has really aged though. I wonder if he has any of his voice left. He once had the most beaughtful voice.
I still think Nez looks cool!! And he is a multi-millionaire, NOT a pauper at all. He rarely appears with the group anymore because he doesn't HAVE to!!
So many of us get hung up on how people look,how much they have aged,etc.but isn't all that immaterial?I'd much rather see Mr. Nesmith grow old naturally than to see him go the Kenny Rogers route and end up with a bad face lift.Those of us that love Mike and his music just don't care about any of that.If he were to perform again in the Houston area sometime in the future I'm there,and I'll be grateful for the opportunity to hear and see him do his thing.
I'm close to 70,I wear black leather trousers and a frilly shirt.I dye the few strands of hair I have left jet black and wear a medallion that shows off my hairy chest.....maybe thats why they put me away in here.
@PauleyBoy200 Peter Torks aged well? Have you seen him lately? His face looks like a train map! All the years of drinking & drug taking have caught up with him!
@stevobath Yes, but it's been a very long time since he did any of that. He got sober in in the early eighties, and before he got sick I don't think he looked his age. Honestly, he still doesn't, in my opinion.
Thanks for your reply. I was not aware of his failed business ventures, but I DO know he had to pay off his Monkees contract, which he said was a burden for years. But with his brilliance and Texas pluck, he pulled ahead with the video business. As to his looking older than Davy (theEchovoices, below), he IS five years older!
Mike looks great to me! His mother invented White Out, so he has not been a poor young man for many years. He has, in fact, been the corporate guy some of you mention. But a creative, talented corporate guy, and bless us, we ALL age!
That's honest! It's curious, in some ways we are the same but different at various ages. It has been argued that we are not the same person at 60 as we were at 20. Some philosophers have explored this concept of personal identity. A 20-year old has a video saying that he couldn't bear the thought of being 30. I told him that he need have no fear, that HE would never be 30! By this I meant no harm, I hope he has a long life, but I said he wouldn't be the same person.
Papa Nez! I still love him. When I look at him, I still see the boy he was during the Monkees years. His son looks and sounds remarkably like him. So neat he's a composer for film in his own right. Very cool interview. Thanks for posting!
on the way Mike Nesmith looks: it's called aging. the man is close to 70 years of age. would you prefer him with a wig and a woolen hat? then you might say he belongs in the looney bin.
@bd9598 Pardon the typos, RA causes me to type badly I am just happy when I can type at all, eve should have been "even". Don't look for proper grammar or punctuation with my lack of ability to type. Thanks if anyone even cares LOL
Phyllis's second son, Jonathan, was born in February 1968. Nesmith's third son, Jason, seen here with Mike, was born in August 1968 to Nurit Wilde, whom he met when she was doing photo shoots of The Monkees. Nurit was a photographer and socialite who hung out with the "artsy" Laurel Canyon crowd of the late 1960s-early 1970s.
@coltmanm I've seen LOADS of Nurit's photography since the late 1960s, and not one photograph had even half the artistry of anything done by Annie Leibovitz or even Lynn Goldsmith, IMHO. Nurit's photos are of interest because of their subject matter. She adored hobnobbing with/ bedding musicians and she was in the right place at the right time to make social connections within the music scene, which helped to get her music mag assignments for her photos.
The hair, but the main problem is the 1,000,000 huge age spots, the countless wrinkles and the double chin. And YES, there are music artists who HAVEN'T messed with their hair and skin and have allowed themselves to age naturally and they DON'T look like MIke. An example is Ian McLagan:he is OLDER than Mike but he looks amazing!
He never had any personality, then or now.

@plasticdogfood weeeeelll, i'm gonna say there is no "one last time". If he cared nothing about music, he wouldn't be here with his musician son at an event for musicians. He has a right to turn his back on his past, but if he does that..., the rest of us have a right to talk shit about him for doing that!
now I love him. but c'mon man! dance with the girl that brought you and spend a week a year hangin' with your old buds in rehearsal and play a show! (just cause you don't have to work bro....)

What? You insult me, what I'm working on and where I'm doing it. You insult Nesmith and his appearance / music. Yet, you're watching videos of both.You must be insane. Get a life, you stupid motherfucker. By the way, "making beats" is not an intellectual musical term. It would be in your best interest to quit now before your get your feelings hurt. And, if you'd like to continue, that's fine. Just don't accuse me of bothering/stalking you later. I Do know you....your type...a bitch.

I'm glad Mike has gotten over his hostility toward The Monkees. The saddest thing is that he may be losing his hearing. There could be no worse fate for such a talented musician and composer. Look what has happened to George Martin. He is almost totally deaf now and can't enjoy the wonderful stuff he produced with The Beatles.

I think he's still pretty handsome considering his age. When I was a wee one, every week, my friends and I had crushes on a different Monkee. Of course, my favorite was Davy, and then Mike and then Peter with poor Mickey always the last pick.Hey, MIke, still looking good!!!

Those of you who are dissing the way Mike looks are total douche bags. I'd like to see your asses when you're his age. Let's not forget his TALENT and his contribution to the arts beyond the Monkees such as being an early music video pioneer, a visionary on people creating their own content using social media, and the forward-thinking movies he produced. Plus, the man had a beautiful voice. Be thankful for the wonders and talent you've been able to witness during your life on earth.

The reason he looks so old is because of the way his hairline receded and his hair is gray. If he still had a full head of hair he would look much like he used to. Old age is creeping up. Also , he had a beard for many years and its gone.

So many of us get hung up on how people look,how much they have aged,etc.but isn't all that immaterial?I'd much rather see Mr. Nesmith grow old naturally than to see him go the Kenny Rogers route and end up with a bad face lift.Those of us that love Mike and his music just don't care about any of that.If he were to perform again in the Houston area sometime in the future I'm there,and I'll be grateful for the opportunity to hear and see him do his thing.

@josephpuma I think it may be that folks are a little shocked by Nez's appearance if they haven't seen him for a while.
For example, I was just watching Elephant Parts, and happened across this video clip. Going from 1981 to 2010 is quite the time warp!
But Nez will always be cool. :)

@stevobath Yes, but it's been a very long time since he did any of that. He got sober in in the early eighties, and before he got sick I don't think he looked his age. Honestly, he still doesn't, in my opinion.
earthday1984TB 2 days ago
Thanks for your reply. I was not aware of his failed business ventures, but I DO know he had to pay off his Monkees contract, which he said was a burden for years. But with his brilliance and Texas pluck, he pulled ahead with the video business. As to his looking older than Davy (theEchovoices, below), he IS five years older!

That's honest! It's curious, in some ways we are the same but different at various ages. It has been argued that we are not the same person at 60 as we were at 20. Some philosophers have explored this concept of personal identity. A 20-year old has a video saying that he couldn't bear the thought of being 30. I told him that he need have no fear, that HE would never be 30! By this I meant no harm, I hope he has a long life, but I said he wouldn't be the same person.

Phyllis's second son, Jonathan, was born in February 1968. Nesmith's third son, Jason, seen here with Mike, was born in August 1968 to Nurit Wilde, whom he met when she was doing photo shoots of The Monkees. Nurit was a photographer and socialite who hung out with the "artsy" Laurel Canyon crowd of the late 1960s-early 1970s.

coltmanm 4 months ago
@coltmanm I've seen LOADS of Nurit's photography since the late 1960s, and not one photograph had even half the artistry of anything done by Annie Leibovitz or even Lynn Goldsmith, IMHO. Nurit's photos are of interest because of their subject matter. She adored hobnobbing with/ bedding musicians and she was in the right place at the right time to make social connections within the music scene, which helped to get her music mag assignments for her photos.

The hair, but the main problem is the 1,000,000 huge age spots, the countless wrinkles and the double chin. And YES, there are music artists who HAVEN'T messed with their hair and skin and have allowed themselves to age naturally and they DON'T look like MIke. An example is Ian McLagan:he is OLDER than Mike but he looks amazing!
