"the album it was on, justus, might have been misguided . . . maybe we don't have a lot of business being the artistic force behind the monkees. the setup on the next record [2016's 'good times!'] was much better." - michael nesmith

"i can't explain why [i'm a believer]'s proven to be so popular. you can't reduce art like that, especially collaborative stuff. you can't say it was neil diamond's lyrics, or no, it was the melody. no wait, it was the background vocals. with anything collaborative, at some point the whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts." - micky dolenz

#the monkees #mike nesmith #*#monkeesedit #15monkees #no i'm not a gif maker so pls dont think that following tumblr user mrsarcadian means you'll get good gifs JHGHKJHGUIKJHG #also something i dont really like is the constant need / feeling that they have to justify why they did things / over explain how they were #actually good like ... they've had to fight for recognition and validity ever since 1966 #i dunno i just really have a hunch that if they came out now they wouldnt have to reach such extremes #and i mean we're still talking about them 50+ years later so the music speaks for itself #basically moral of the story: mike you guys were GREAT not just pretty good #also i love u king and i hope you are having a good day bestie xoxo #and i hope everyone reading this is having a good day too!

"[richard perry] said, ‘yeah, okay. i don't think I'd ever buy a monkees record, just on principal.’ i just thought, ‘wow, that's what this is born into.’“ - michael nesmith

#the monkees #michael nesmith #monkees #mike nesmith #*#monkees*#15monkees #its the fact that throughout it all throughout all these amazing songs #and all this substantial music they STILL felt like they had to condition everything #monkees vs the world really #it makes literally no sense especially when you look @ the music industry nowadays #when ghost writers and writing credits and 'playing your own stuff' or whatever isn't exactly #as important as it once was #and it's still very respectable to be a performer and not so much a Capital A Artist or whatever #people who get off on gatekeeping artforms prefer and prioritize #the monkees matter #their music matters #listen to the band MATTERS #the fact that so many people thought of them as a joke because of who they were and what they stood for at the time #or what the world thought of what younger people / kids watched and mainly young girls enjoyed #makes me so so so annoyed #anyway i'm off my soapbox i love this song <3

"frankly, it's an anti-war song . . . considering that it was a monkees song and the first one, i was always surprised that the record company even released it unless it just went right over their head." - micky dolenz
