The Happiest Day of My Life - by Mike Nesmith (1967)

Tugging at your heartstrings, we've got Mike Nesmith here, showing us some photos from his childhood, marriage, and of his young son, Christian.  Phyllis Nesmith became a bit of a celebrity thanks to teen magazines too.  Mike, at first, was the only married Monkee, and he wasn't going to deny it.  So, teen mags made Phyllis out to be someone for teen girls to look up to.  (I'm sure she didn't get too much hate mail.)  
Mike and Phyllis' marriage wouldn't survive the 60's, though.  He ended up having an affair with a friend of Peter Tork's, Nurit Wilde.  Nurit gave birth to Mike's son, Jason, and I think that probably sealed the deal on the breakup of the Nesmith's marriage.
