OOOooo, a Rick Nelson thread! I grew up on him. My mom and aunt thought he was a fox and so did I. I was also in dire lust with the twins (I'm closer to their age than their dad's)when they were Nelson in early 90's. HOLY SHIT they were hot. And I still love their After the Rain cd.
I've always heard rumors that Gunnar is gay. Matt has been married to a model, Yvette, for years. She is very pretty. I can only imagine what their sex life must be like...OMG. There's a pic of them with him sitting on a motorcycle and they are facing each other with her straddling him. I'm feeling woozy just thinking about that pic....
Several years ago, the twins and Tracy were on John Edward's Crossing Over. You'll have to youtube it or whatever for details, but they were convinced that contact with their dad had been made during the taping. Tracy has said that her dad saved her from cancer. She had a dream in which he INISISTED she got to the doctor. She had been feeling poorly but wasn't doing anything about it. I think that was in the FAD write-up, come to think of it. I'm gonna go re-read it now.
Also, a few years ago, the twins were flying back from some island in the Caribbean. Their plane (full-sized commercial jet) had problems and the twins thought they were going down. They thought how much it was going to suck for their family to have to go through another plane crash. But the pilot saved the day by making the plane go round and round as he slowly descended thereby saving the plane from crashing.
And yeah, I've always severely disliked the mom, too. Hateful bitch. I know Rick had problems, but his kids adored him. In my book, being a good dad can make a lot of other bullshit irrelevant.
So, there's my Nelson ramble. And may I add that the whole family is attractive. Sam, the youngest, is hot stuff, too.
