Responsible for some of the Monkees’ best individually-penned efforts, including “The Girl I Knew Somewhere”, “Circle Sky”, “You Just May Be the One”, “Papa Gene’s Blues” and “Listen to the Band.” Has written many hit songs for other artists, including Linda Ronstadt, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Olivia Newton-John. A proficient guitarist who sustained a successful solo career in the 1970s, releasing countless solo albums and achieving Top 40 hit singles like “Joanne”, “Silver Moon” and “Rio.” These albums were considered to be some of the most groundbreaking of the country-rock era. Formed his own production company Pacific Arts in the late 1970s, which, spurred on by the filmed version of his single “Rio”, helped pioneer the dawn of the music video. Subsequently created the music chart show “Popclips” which later was bought by Warner and developed into MTV. Recipient of the first video Grammy Award for “Elephant Parts” in 1981. Pacific Arts became the leading American video publishing company in the 1980s. Resumed his solo career in the early 1990s after appearing only sporadically in concert with the reunited Monkees between 1986-1989, but temporarily rejoined the band in 1996.

Get the mike nesmith mug.Rooted through Nesian: A shortened term used to describe the collected race of Pacific Islanders. Nesian Culture music is the collective musical expression of the many Pacific islands. Grouped by their different positions in the Pacific Oceans (MicroNESIAN, PolyNESIAN, MelaNESIAN) they bring to light the beauty of the pacific in this prideful genre of music. The songs describe the love and respect they have for each other as similar races, and ultimately gather all Pacific Islanders under one culture instead of being sepreated by their islands.
This music is meant to take those who may or may not be decendants of these cultures to a place of bliss. to feel calm even in a dancing beat. this music can make u feel like getting up and moving but still steady. like a palm tree in the breeze.

Get the Nessi mug.- A nickname for someone named Vanessa
People named Nessie are wonderfully complete people, more than skin deep. Beauty drips off of them and when the drops evaporate, they become the silver linings of clouds. A Nessie has wondrous beautiful eyes sparkling with clever untold plots. The name 'Nessie' is notable for the near impossibility of speaking it without smiling.
