Just fer fun:

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

[RickJ]

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 )

[Nosnosna]

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

[NeedKarma]

The new gay-free Ted Haggard?

[kp2171]

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?)

[NeedKarma]

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.

[RickJ]

sixties hippy? music or cinema

Yes to all 3 if you count TV as cinema.

[RickJ]

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

[curlybenswife]

;) 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

[NeedKarma]

Cat Stevens? Or Youssuf whatever..

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

[RickJ]

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

[NeedKarma]

Colin Groves?

[NeedKarma]

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

[RickJ]

Hand NeedKarma a kewpie doll!

Here he is from when he was the cats meow.

[RickJ]

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

[curlybenswife]

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

[RickJ]

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.

[curlybenswife]

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...

[RubyPitbull]

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
