couldn’t the desert also be a reference to Monkees in a Ghost town? Thats what I thought it was, anyway.

If you’re referencing the section that I compared to It’s a Nice Place to Visit, Monkees in a Ghost Town was definitely the first episode that came to mind. I didn’t use it because they weren’t enough visual similarities. I tried finding episodes that used similar costumes, plot points, and/or scenes to Head… but that meant that I had to leave a lot of ideas on the cutting room floor.

For example, I only used Monstrous Monkee Mash because it seems like Head used a set that was inspired by the imagery in that episode. There were also a few very loose parallels I was able to make between the Mike-focused subplots in Head and Monstrous Monkee Mash, like the themes of loneliness and horror.

#as I mentioned in my original notes #there are so many references that I missed and decided to exclude #that’s what I really love about Head #the more you learn about the Monkees #the more you see the small references and parallels that were drawn in Head #intentionally or unintentionally

#thank you thank you thank you to the designer that decided to give Mike those beautiful lace cuffs #the lace does such a lovely job of softening up his look #adds a touch of femininity that I genuinely think suits Mike #fresh and pretty like a flower #mike nesmith

A glimpse of Mike in 16 Magazine’s Monkee Private Picture Book, 1967

#mike nesmith #the monkees #these photos feel more mature #obviously not mature as in explicit #but they feel grounded and real. They feel like the photos of a husband and a father #rather than the photos of the Monkee Mike #I wish the photographer took his wool hat off #at the very least for the photo of him in bed

Just remembered the sequence in Head (1968) where all four of them kiss the same girl and the camera just lets you really watch each of them kiss said girl for a long moment... like damn... they really did that.
