hollywood Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 But things moved fast in the 60s. A mere three years after "The Kids Are Alright": ... we get the fucking Monkeys. But one of those Monkeys was Michael Nesmith. Per Wiki.... Nesmith recorded a number of LPs for his label, and had a moderate worldwide hit in 1977 with his song "Rio", the single taken from the album From A Radio Engine To The Photon Wing. During this time, Nesmith created a video clip for "Rio" which, in a roundabout way, helped spur Nesmith's creation of a television program called Pop Clips for the Nickelodeon cable network. In 1980, Nesmith's Pop Clips was sold to Time Warner/Amex consortium. Time Warner/Amex developed Pop Clips into the MTV network. Nesmith also won the first Grammy Award (1981) given for Video of the Year for his hour-long Elephant Parts and also had a short-lived series on NBC inspired by the video called "Michael Nesmith in Television Parts".

Wilfrid Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 I must re-watch those 2010 videos. I have zero recall of what they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
