Infinite Tuesday: An Autobiographical Riff by Michael Nesmith – Nerfed Llamas Review It is no secret that I am a fan of Michael Nesmith’s artistic endeavors.

Directed by Bill Fishman, a music video director who would go on to direct other excellent films based in the music biz such as “Reckless & Wild” and “My Dinner with Jimi”, Tapeheads is a wonderfully creative and humorous story of 2 best friends and their pursuit of their dreams.
