And speaking of anachronisms, the youngsters today, even if they have heard of the Monkees, and even if they have heard of Michael Nesmith, probably have never heard of the fact, well-known among the older generation, that Michael Nesmith's mother invented Liquid Paper, which they certainly have never heard of nor used.
