Possible America Gene Cover Art?

I am not certain if this is the cover art to Mike Nesmith's new book America Gene but I thought it looked pretty cool. I got it in an e-mail update from videoranch3D.com.

Nesmith Reads New Novel

Ok this may seem odd since I love the Monkees and I love to read but this may be an event that I miss. But for those of you that don't want to miss it here is what I just heard from Videoranch.
Michael Nesmith will be reading from his forthcoming novel, The America Gene, this Sunday at 5PM PT, at Ed's October Cafe in Videoranch3D. This is a live event you don't want to miss, so mark your calendar!
The only reason I say why I may miss it is that when the author is famous and I know the author's voice as well as I do Mr. Nesmith's is that when I read the book I usually hear his voice in my head as I read it. Since I want to get the book there isn't much sense in my hearing him read it twice. But I hope you go to the event and enjoy it.Event: Michael Nesmith book reading
Date: Sunday, June 21st
Time: 5PM Pacific
Place: Ed's October Cafe in Videoranch3D
This event is free and open to the public. To download the Videoranch3D software please visit our site videoranch3D.com

Monkees Ad

Here is an ad from TV Guide for the Monkees reruns on Saturday morning. In the lower right corner they also promo for Micky and Davy's new single Oh My My. As you can see the TV show was a bigger hit in 1970 then the music.

Over at his facebook site Al Bigley had a link to this video. When I saw it I had to share it with you here.

Thank to News From ME we have been made aware of What's My Blog Rate site. There they rate your blog in the manner of the movie ratings. Mark says it is silly and he is correct. But I love silly. The one above is for this site and I will post it in the section on the left.

Goodbye to Our Analog Friend

Over at Neato Coolville The Mayor created this video to document the end of an era. Today offical ends the era of analog television.

Jon Voight on Obama

I can't believe this came from Jon Voight but I am glad that he stood up for what he believes.

Monkees on a Chicago TV Guide

I saw this while surfing the net. Not bad art for a local TV Guide.

What Were They Thinking File

From the "What Were They Thinking File" comes the case of Captain Crunch and the woman who cried Crunchberries. Over at Lowering the Bar it is reported that a woman sued the Captain and his company. It seems that his Crunchberries cereal didn't contain any crunchberries. Mainly because crunchberries are not real. They are just colored balls of cereal. Thankfully Judge Morrison England, Jr. showed that he had the brains a Judge should have and dismissed the case.

The Prisoner on AMC

Normally I don't care much for the original series that AMC has been running. But in November they will be showing a remake of the Prisoner. The original series had Patrick McGoohan as number Six. A man who was kidnapped and sent to the mysterious village. Who took him? That was a mystery for much of the series. The last episode attempted to answer it but was kind of psychodelic for the series. Not uncommon for shows in the 1960's but the ending didn't make any sense to me. I can't wait to see how the show goes with Jim Caviezel as number Six and starring Ian McKellen as number Two.

You can find out more at AMCTV.com and even watch full episodes of the original series there. Below is a promo video I first saw on Pop Culture Safari.

Terrorism Still Exist

I never heard this story till recently. Al Queda still exist and still is still taking and killing hostages according to Mirror.co.uk.

25 years ago today

It was 25 years ago today that Bill, Dan, Harold, Rick and company taught me how to laugh at ghost again. It continued a tradition that many comedians have been doing for years. I opened this with saying me as others in the country had a chance to see it the day before as that was the official day it was released.

I remember going with my college buddies Chuck and Mike. We had a hard time deciding between this and Gremlins. Both were released on the same day. Ghostbusters won out and it seems like most of the town was there. Back then the theaters were huge compared to some that they have now. We couldn't find 3 seats together. Lucky for Mike he ran into a bunch of people he knew who had a seat next to them. so he sat with them and Chuck and I found two seats together. It was the funniest film I had seen in a long time.

Years later they made the sequel. It was just ok. Now I hear that a third may come out soon. I just hope it is better then the second. I don't thaink any film can be as good as the first.

Video of the Week: Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday

My cousins friend yesterday showed me this video. It is the first time I heard this song or heard of this 14 (at the time of this video) year old artist. The kid is good but he sounds much older then he is. Hope you have a good Memorial Day.

Mick and the Stones Sell Rice Krispies

I didn't think the establishment of the 1960's would allow the Rolling Stones to help sell Kellogg's Rice Krispies. Still here is the proof.

Al Bigley

Al Bigley wrote me a very nice e-mail some time ago and I wanted to post a link to his site as a kind return. Since then things have been very busy here and they may even get busier in the near future. As a result I haven't been able to make daily post on all my sites as I want to. So since there is a small break in the action here is my link to Big Glee! The Albert Bryan Bigley Archives! I hope it isn't too late Al!
As you can tell by the above image Al has recently posted about one of my favorite mags of the 1970's...Pizzazz!
