The biography I did was on Michael Nesmith (also known as Mike, Nez and the
             occasional "Wool Hat") who was made popular by the 60's television show "The
             Monkees". Although Nez did a lot more notable things in his life time, he will always be
             plagued with this. The reason why I am doing my report on him rather than someone
             else is because I want to clear his name up in history. This report contains everything
             from birth, his childhood, his time with the Monkees, his music after the Monkees, his

             which believed "God" will heal all wounds...no exceptions. At one point during his
             childhood he was playing with a sledge hammer and broke some bones in his hands, and
             they did not call a doctor. It has never set properly. She was also strict with music as
             well. He grew listening to Hank Williams and he had to tell her that he was a Harvard
             Graduate so that he could play it.
