Default You can say what you want about Ricky Nelson,

but he made Rock N Roll acceptable to our parents by coming into our homes every Wednesday evening on Ozzie and Harriet.

Elvis "lite". I've got his greatest hits CD and I still listen to it from time to time.

Sadly, I remember seeing him for the last time on the Tonight Show with Johnny. He apparently SO burn out on drugs, that he could barely hold a conversation. It was sad to see, as I was such a fan as a kid. That made it easier to not be so surprized when I learned of how his plane went down. An airplane is a lousy place to freebase cocaine. Although, the investigation was inconclusive, and a faulty cabin heater may have caused the fire and crash, investigators found lots of aerosol cans (commonly used to freebase) in the wreakage.

Either way, it was a shame to loose him.

It is not "my" sig. Just so everyone know, these sigs were created specifically for particular members of this board, so the "owner/creator" of the actual sig may not be happy that someone else is using it. Look at this thread:
