Mike Nesmith's One-of-a-Kind Telegram Message Led to a Quick Friendship With John Lennon

Mike Nesmith, the Monkees’ guitarist and songwriter, was a Beatles fan long before the television show The Monkees debuted on NBC in 1966. However, it wasn’t until after the show had aired in the late 1960s that Nesmith and his then-wife Phyllis traveled to England to witness the cultural shift in London firsthand. Before arriving, Nesmith sent a telegram to John Lennon, which he signed in such a unique way that he and his wife, Cynthia, quickly became friends.

The Monkees’ TV show did not follow in the footsteps of The Beatles in terms of popularity.
