I don't follow the Monkees and didn't know they had a farewell tour going, so I was kind of surprised when Andrew Sandoval posted a few long notes about it months ago, specifically about Nesmith's health and a lot of angry speculation among their fans. I'm just glad Nesmith got to tour one last time - he knew his health was going, but it sounded like he beat the odds and got to go out on his own terms.

Really love 'Me & Magdalena', written by Ben Gibbard, from the The Monkees' 2016 comeback album. Listening to Mike and Micky harmonising on this sounds very poignant today.

― Raw Like Siouxsie (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 December 2021 12:44 (two years ago) link
I assume that the 'angry speculation' refers to fan concerns about Nesmith's health during the tour. This speculation was discussed by Sandoval in a blog post.

Ah, okay, thanks.

Heads Up: If you get the Decades nostalgia TV channel, starting in a couple hours they'll be doing their 'Weekend Binge' marathon on the Monkees TV series, showing every episode at least once (in their spiffy HD masters, no less!) up through Monday morning.

Yesterday I screened 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee, their legendarily star-crossed & star-studded bugfuck 1969 TV special.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4kKYLocUa4
Really comes off as a chintzy, more music-oriented version of Head. Left for dead airing against the '69 Academy Awards, I can't begin to think what was going through the mind of the poor channel-surfing viewer who landed on this during the interpretative dance number, or one of Brian Auger & Julie Driscoll's hammy supervillain turns, or the climatic "Listen To The Band" freakout, which--like a lot of this special--seems to forecast the video and chromakey hijinks of Zappa's 200 Motels film a couple years later. #onethread

A familiar character actor appears near the end of the screen tests, believe he was also in the first episode, maybe in a different role.

This Lefcowitz book is pretty good at telling the story, just went through the Jimi Hendrix part of the story as well as Peter Tork’s Laurel Canyon hippie hideaway, but yeah, the guy makes no bones about his dislike of Davy, which is fine with me I guess.,
