After his departure from the Monkees<\/a>, Mike Nesmith<\/a> charted on the WKNR Music Guide<\/a> with “Joanne<\/a>“, a tune that helped cement his reputation as a pioneer in the country rock genre. The song had echoes of “Different Drum<\/a>“, which became a one hit wonder for the Stone Poneys<\/a>, and a catalyst for Linda Rondstadt’s <\/a>solo career. Nesmith had an early fascination for incorporating video and music and was a seminal influence on what would become the early format of MTV. In 1981 he parodied “Joanne<\/a>” with this mash-up of country meets Godzilla. It became an underground collectors item for those of us who had Sony Betamax<\/a> video recorders.
