I loves me some Nesmith but I submit this is the best video of the 80's.

Sorry, but... unparalleled.

I cannot believe that the memory of this video had completely been wiped from my mind until this very moment. AWESOME.

Close (To The Edit) has never left my regular listening rotation.

arse_hat: WTF WAS THAT! How did I miss that one!? it's like David Lynch after too much pickled herring.

mykescipark: Art of Noise was great, but Mike Nesmith really paved the way for music video in the early 80s, so I gave him a few extra credits. Plus I had a huge crush on him as a kid in the 70s, so I am biased ;)
