Just fer fun:

Formerly world famous, still quite the mover and shaker but behind the scenes:

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 )

He looks so familiar, but I can't place him...

The new gay-free Ted Haggard?

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.

Yes to all 3 if you count TV as cinema.

Ok, here's another one of him a bit younger... but still older than when he was very famous.

;) I only keep looking to see if anyone has got it right I have no idea who it is lol but I'm nosey :D

Cat Stevens? Or Youssuf whatever..

[and yes I did look at the image properties to try to cheat, well done on the naming:)]

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

Colin Groves?

Oh, how about...

"Hey, hey we're the ...."

Is that close?

* edit: I got it, found a good pic that is like your original. Good hint that last one. :D

Hand NeedKarma a kewpie doll!

Here he is from when he was the cats meow.

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.

You know what I was going to say monkees but I though nah I'm bound to be wrong then ill look a moron (I know nothing new there) I just have this faded memory guys running about singing...

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
