[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Didn't one of Mike's folks invent White Out or Liquid Paper?
That definitely rings a bell, Cindy.
inevitable x-post
His mom, Bette Nesmith Graham.
I'm kind of scared how many of us know this.
It's important information.
Considering how many times I used the stuff this morning, I'd have to agree.
It's one of those amazing pop culture facts. I've been using the white out quite a bit today too.
Actually, Liquid Paper can be considered the "mother of music videos," if you took the connection to the extreme. Mike used his inheritance from his mom's profits of LP to produce "Elephant Parts," what's been called the startoff point for the proliferation of music videos that led to the birth of MTV.
I love the Monkees. Just bought the box set - again. I used to have Listen to the Band but I lost two of the discs, so then I bought Music Box cause it's supposed to be better.
I have the Rhino Best of the Monkees CD, which is very good and more comprehensive than the old two-album record set that my sister and I had back in high school.
