Lover of popular music but always wanting to find out more. That golden period between 1978 and 1985 is where my heart lies but always willing to try something else. https://open.substack.com/pub/daveross100?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=293r7s

Mike Nesmith

You Just May Be The One

I've loved this song and the album it came from for over 50 years. There's hooks, harmonies and magic throughout. Mike Nesmith believed in his ability and fought to prove it. The evidence is here.

Richarlison is never the right answer. Ever. Must score from there with a free header. #Spurs

Tudor should be sacked before half-time. Unforgivable.

There's a Igor Tudor / Roman Polanski exposes Kinsky gag in there somewhere

You'll know the answer to this. What happened to Liverpool's Champions League Final keeper who threw one in. Is he still playing? God I feel for Kinsky.

Tudor has to be made to explain his selection tonight. Did he not trust Vicario to start? What had he seen in Kinsky to play him away at Atletico Madrid? His first game all season? Is he fucking stupid?

How soon can I get to Madrid to give Kinsky a cuddle?

Change the keeper away at Atletico Madrid. Tudor's an idiot

That’s all on Igor Tudor that. All of it. Absolute joke of a manager.

One of the great things about earlier Twitter. Another of mine was me talking about the "unexpected item in the bagging area" thing in supermarkets and saying I'd put a really unlikely item in there one day, like a surviving member of the Monkees, then Micky Dolenz retweeting that. What a guy.

It was his 81st birthday earlier this week. As you say. What a guy.

Another early Monkees recording that found a new life elsewhere. Linda Ronstadt again and Mike himself resurrected it. This is my favourite version.

Always loved the way Cliff brought into the whole thing. Hank appearing from behind the screen, harmonies guys.... etc. A perfectly pitched charity / comedy record that did everything it needed to and much much more

(more notable for being the first Comic Relief single if anything, so it's more of a polite request of a significant moment)

I'm sure there's a Big Love gag in there somewhere but I'm not funny enough to find it πŸ€”
