Always loved to watch their show rerun on Nickelodeon when I was younger. So sorry to hear this.
If I remember correctly, I think his mom invented White Out.
Sad....Michael was talented!
Those guys took advantage of a showbusiness opportunity and it served them well.

I watched them in their original showings. Remember those nights clearly.
Very sad. I think he and Mickey still had a tour planned. TV show was very entertaining back in the day and they had a lot of great songs. I think Mike was the only one proficient playing when the group was formed but Peter & Mickey learned well. I don`t recall Davy playing much other than the tambourine and similar things.
My granma taught me to say only good things about people when they be dead.
He’s dead,……..goooood!
Very true. And Mickey Dolenz was the only one of the 4 to have acting experience, as he starred in the mid-1950s TV show, "Circus Boy" with Noah Beery Jr, (who played the legendary James Garner's Dad in the 1970's "Rockford Files" show).
RIP Mike Nesmith. He took advantage of cable television when it first started in the late 1970s, and created a music video show called PopClips for Nickelodeon that later was turned into the iconic MTV. A folk/country music writer, Nesmith wrote this song for Linda Ronstadt before he became a member of the Monkeys:
Yep, and sold the invention to 3M...
I haven't used White Out in the last 35 years, is it still being used or did they stop using it when people starting using computers over typewriters???
This is a Typewriter for those how haven't been born before 1988... My first home computer was about 1989

They came out as a band and played 3-4 songs, then each one came out individually and did some songs with a backup band. As a band, they weren't bad actually; pretty close to some of the other TV type bands I saw during that time frame, i.e. Paul Revere and the Raiders, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, etc, although it was always hard to tell with the screaming girls.
Saw them when my dad was stationed at Clark Air Base P.I. 1967, 68, 69; can't remember exact year.
