Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on December 30, 1942)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Michael Nesmith! From rocking our TV screens with The Monkees' hilarious antics and catchy tunes, to pioneering music videos long before MTV made them cool, you've always been ahead of your time. Your iconic wool hat became a fashion statement we still secretly envy.

Whether you're strumming "Listen to the Band" or charming us with your dry wit, you continue inspiring generations. Thanks for proving that talent and humor never go out of style. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps another spontaneous reunion—because hey hey, you're still our favorite Monkee!
