Yup the ‘Monkee’ Mike Nesmith was a songwriter of a different cloth to the rest of the band and has been labelled something of a stoner (weren’t they all? ED - well no, the others may have been but Mickey was known to be more of a ‘juicer’ as he hung around with Ringo, Alice Cooper, Hsarry Nilsson and that crew of drinkers and may have even been a peripheral figure on Lenon’s so called lost weekend (some eighteen months of heavy drinking and a burgeoning affair with May Pang) Mike perahaps the only one with a lively album career post Monkees . Ronstadt covered this and other songs by him.
