51 years ago, the Monkees TV show debuted. The guy in the band who always wore a winter hat, Michael Nesmith, has chronicled his life in a new memoir and joins Dave Schrader (email) to discuss his time in the Monkees, his eclectic/electric life, his invention of the music video, and his critical contributions to movies, comedy, and the world of virtual reality. Followed by Open Lines in the latter half.
