    Hehe, 13 views and no answers. I went :eek: when I learned who it is. If no one comes up with it, I'll show him from 40 years ago.

    (and then even you youngsters will probably know who it is :p )

    oh you suck.

    I love these posts. I mean I hate them. I mean... crapola.

    how about a Realm of Worldly Influence? Politics? Music? I'm guessing he was a sixties hippy? Guessing music or cinema if the young'uns would know him...

    well after you let this kick around the forum more how about a hint of some sort. Maybe a Hobbit-style riddle just to really get us in circles. =)

    You're getting quite warm! :)

    ... 30 views now... I'll post a pic that many will recognize after about 50.

    And no cheating to manipulate the views! :p
    (hehe, I read your mind, didn't I Need?)

    No you didn't because I know that you and I don't do those little techie tricks. :)

    I agree with kp though, drop us a little hint first.

    I've racked my brain for a killer clue, but anything I think of is not a clue but a giveaway... but here is one that might be clever:

    Platyrrhini

    PS. Despite the corniness of the group that made him famous, he is quite the musical genious, really.

    Ok someone tell me why I recognise him? I've never heard of the band but I do recognise him was he on TV??

    It's Michael Nesmith of the Monkees.

    Never heard of the Monkees! :eek: :p

    They had a TV show that still plays on some channels. And he's still big behind the music scenes with many bands.

    I wish I had gotten back to this thread earlier today. After the second picture I knew it was him.

    Ahhh. I hate to admit it but when I was a kid I had a Monkees lunchbox. I LOVED Mike Nesmith. Also Peter Tork but he hasn't held up that well. :p

    Yes Rick he is a very, very smart guy. I am sure you probably know this bit of trivia but I am going to put it out there anyway. Did any of you know that his mother created "White out"? You know, that liquid paper correction fluid. I am definitely dating myself here. We used it on typewritten letters and stuff like that. Since we have computers now, I am guessing the need has decreased a bit. But, because of his mother, his family is quite wealthy. Anyone know if he is married? Anyone know where I can find him? Do you think he would go for a woman who is age appropriate for him? :p
