Tried Watching Daydream Believers: The Monkee's Story (2000) And Immediately Had To Pause Because Of

call me easily amused but i still think it's so funny to go "who said that" after saying something wildly horny

mike nesmith was literally born to be an old queen bitching about in his 50s and 60s but unfortunately he grew up in the american south in the middle of the 20th century and then had all his disorders and insecurities exacerbated by stardom in his early 20s and it made him a freak but not in the fun way and so his true colours only occasionally shone ie with elephant parts and cruising and princess gwen and some of the gayass things he was saying on the monkees and in head. but despite all that he stayed repressed and alas the only label one can ascribe to him is straight diva. but that is not his true nature. mike nesmith is a faggot

imagine if you were a 15 year old who was absolutely obsessed with One Direction and one day you found out that One Direction was writing and producing and starring in their own movie and you were SUPER excited because you just LOVE One Direction so you go to the theater with all your friends who also love One Direction and you watch this scene where Liam from One Direction opens up a medicine cabinet and sees this disembodied unblinking eye that represents the eternal and inescapable audience. and there’s also part of the movie where they show you actual genuine footage of a guy getting shot in the head. In the One Direction movie.

THE MONKEES ON KDWB-AM IN 1967

To my knowledge this is the only complete recording of the Monkees taking over a radio station during their 1967 tour. Over four hours of them goofing off, insulting advertisers, trying to figure out how to work the equipment, and playing their favorite records of course. This is fascinating!

The Monkees were in the Twin Cities for a concert and broadcast from KDWB’s “Secret City” with a remote from the hotel where the band was staying. Featuring Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones.

The recordings feature candid, silly and serious moments from The Monkees - a wonderful collection of recordings during the two days The Monkees took over the radio station.

August 3, 1967 to 4 am on August 4, 1967: Starting with coverage of the Monkees’ airplane arrival at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport followed by Michael, Peter, Micky and Davy broadcasting from “Secret City” playing records, performing a skit, and some candid comments by Micky about criticism concerning the group not playing all instruments in their songs, thoughts about The Beatles, and more. Includes KDWB personalities Charlie Brown, Earl Trout, Tac Hammer, Bobby Davis and newscast by Robert Davis. #1 30 MB - #2 21 MB (provided by Curt Lundgren)

August 4, 1967 (3:00-6:00 pm) : Mostly featuring Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork spinning records with Michael having fun insulting KDWB advertisers including Dayton’s and J A Gerber Jewelers and Peter playing the banjo. Includes newscast by Don Miller.    #1 16 MB - #2 23 MB - #3 19 MB - #4 8 MB    (provided by Phil Kitchen and Jeanne Anderson)

Being in fandom spaces is so surreal-

Bc once your age hits a 'serious' number, you start to think - "damn, I should probably stop geeking and get more serious." But then you scroll and see a 34y/o woman writing fics after driving her kids to school, a 40y/o dude making fanart of his fav super heroes and you realize - "nah, I'm actually good"

The very moment that made me decide I loved this man. Incredibly underrated moment in my honest opinion. I could listen to this all day.
