3. Had not seen it in decades...

...thought I'd look for it on YouTube, and there it was.

2. I used to know a retired Hollywood TV assistant director.

He worked on The Monkees series. I asked him if it was fun and he said hell, no. He said everyone was so stoned all the time it was very difficult to get anything done. He said at times he felt like the only one taking his job seriously.

4. I watched a Monkees "docu-drama" on Amazon Prime...

...released in 2000.
It featured actors who resembled the actual (young) Monkees, and they were depicted smoking weed - especially Peter - quite a bit.
I guess that was an accurate depiction.

5. Look at the people who appeared in Head, many uncredited.

Did not recall that Jack Nicholson was co-producer and co-writer (with Bob Rafelson, a mystery man to me).

6. Rafelson was co-creator and producer...

...Frank Zappa's cameo was kinda fun.

7. Zappa was why I looked at IMDB, to verify my

failing memory.

Saw Nicholson and Rafelson as co-writers and co-producers.

Also Carol Doda.

Saved the link to watch. Thank you.
