The reason Keith is still "alive" is because he's got more chemicals in him than a Twinkie..... and we all know how well preserved Twinkies are. ;)

Wow. I liked the Monkees, and even saw them when I was in High School. Mike Nesmith is my favorite. They did a promo "tour" for WDGY Radio, showed up with the Monkee Mobile and did a few songs.

My favorite Monkees song is Last train to Clarksville, which was their debut tune.

Here is an amazing cover by... George Benson!

IIRC, Nesmith was only one of the bunch who was a real musician from the start. The others could sing but had to learn how to play their instruments after the fact. Nesmith, on the other hand, was not only a working musician, he was a songwriter as well.

And a damn good one at that.

Even The Beatles loved The Monkees.

Yes, they did have to learn, except for Mike. However, they did all right, even without American Idol.
