djimi66, (with all due respect)If Mike Nesmith wasn't the brains of the Monkees, who was?(I already know Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart wrote some of the band's hits, but the comments "WJB1957," are pretty accurate as I remember reading about the band, years after their demise.)Thanks.Rock

kellismith2001, with all due respect,Although I thoroughly agree,the song Mike N. wrote was not for Joanne Woodward,I believe firmly,"musicvideoswhd," put her in this video as a tribute to her late husband, Paul Newman,and his deep love for her, as well as the over 50 years they devoted too each other.(I have been a Newman fan as an actor, but have even more respect for him as a philanthropist, for much of his life.Seeing, "The Sting," last evening brought me back today.)Thanks.Rock

I feel it better stated that Nesmith had the best business acumen by by far of all his fellow members. Although not the creator, he did take the inititive (under protest from the rest of the group)and the good business sense to divorce them from Don Kirshner so that they; as a group, could recieve all royalty&promotional item monies due them.Also, he forced the hands of the Monkee creators to play their own instuments at concerts and on albums.

I don't think this song was about Joanne Woodward. I bought it as a 33 1/3, one of my first buys, and I've loved it since it was first released.Beautiful
