My weird little crush.

For as long as I can remember, I've had a thing for Mike Nesmith from The Monkees. I grew up in the 80's, but the TV show was always in re-runs on Nick at Nite, and my mom had tapes I would listen to in my gigantic boom box. Most girls liked the safety of Davy, with his cute little British accent and his comfortable, child-like size. But for some reason that towering Southern gentleman in the wool hat always did it for me. I don't like country music AT ALL, but the 4 songs by The Monkees that Mike was responsible for are my favorite, and I don't care how honky tonk they are. Whenever I'm in the car with the (non)VegHubs and a Mike/Monkees song comes on the iPod, I giggle a little and blush. He just rolls his eyes and patiently waits the 2 minutes it takes to get through the hill-billy 60's pop perfection.
I think Mike Nesmith is single-handedly responsible for establishing "my type", that is tall, skinny, dark and delicious, so the hubs (tall, skinny, dark and delicious) should thank Mr. Nesmith.

  4. I used to be a Davy girl. Once I hit middle school and was taller than him (haha), my affections began to shift. By the time high school rolled around... well, it's been Mike ever since. Plus I'm from TX, so a good southern boy who makes great music and... long story slightly less long, I'm with ya.

    I love Mike Nesmith songs-he sounds so
    handsome-I accidentally wrote thin twice
    I love tall thin hamdsome men-his speaking voice drove me wild-too bad he couldn't stay
    that way-Mike is for me
