Song of the Day 12/11: Michael Nesmith and the First National Band, “Joanne”
Mike Nesmith was a lot more than just a Monkee. He pioneered country rock for a while, then helped make video the dominant music platform of the ’80s. He died yesterday at 78 of heart disease.

BTW, some other sponsor tie-ins to meaningless bowl games this year: Famous Idaho Potato […]
