One More Michael Nesmith Song

I am still reeling from the death of Michael Nesmith last Friday. Those who know me would hardly be surprised, as I have always been a huge Monkees fan and Mike was always my favourite. It is for that reason I decided tonight to share another one of my favourite songs by Michael Nesmith. It is "Papa Gene's Blues." It is one of Michael Nemisth's many songs in which the title seemingly has nothing to do with the song. Indeed, if "Papa Gene's Blues" seems like an odd title for the song, consider that its original title was "Brand X." The title did present some problems for Colgems, who misspelled it on some early pressings of the first album, The Monkees, as "Papa Jean's Blues."
