writer Jack Nicholson (qv) actually compiled the movie  soundtrack in its final form, with snippets of the movie dialogue  between songs, and is so credited on the album cover. (When he saw  Michael Nesmith (qv) at work in the studio and asked if he could  help, Nesmith let him take over, because "I just want to go home".)  Nicholson had unwavering enthusiasm for the movie, joining in a  stickering campaign to promote the premiere, and declaring later  that "I saw it, like, 158 million times, man. I loved it!"
