The Nelson brothers

I thought you meant The Nelsons, the blonde twins singing group

Oh yea...

R1 I forgot about them! They are Rick’s less attractive sons. He had two more boys, Sam and Eric. A girlfriend of mine knew Eric and used to exchange nudes with him. He has a nice cock.

OP, there is no "we." Don't cast a wide net. It's presumptuous and inaccurate. Get out of my space.

David Nelson was the first choice of gay men in the USA - hunkier than prissy Ricky.

But then the stories of Ricky being caught in his mother's dress started to change that.

R4 you sound like an insufferable cunt. Take your Midol.

A septaugenarian? Yes. Gen X? No, you're not.

I missed Rick's heyday by a couple of decades but did see him performing on stage shortly before his plane crashed, looking a lot like he does in the link. He made quite an impression on my rising teen libido.

My mom grew up watching Ozzie and Harriet and said she always preferred David over Ricky. She said all the girls loved Ricky, but she liked David because he was “smarter”.

She also preferred John over Ponch on CHiPs and Paul Michael Glaser over David Gates.

nice picture of David in The Big Circus.

nice pics of both brothers in tights.

Ricky was hot. Too bad his daughter Tracy looks like Jerry Seinfeld. Twin sons Matthew and Gunnar were kind of cute when they were young. In recent pics, they look like a butch lesbos. Youngest son Sam is ok looking,.

[quote] Take your Midol.

Shave your postmenopausal mustache and beard.

Matthew and Gunnar looking mighty masculine.

I remember one of them (Gunner?) was on Celebrity Fit Club. While that season was still airing, the partner and I went to Blackhawk, Colorado to do some gambling with his folks, and the Nelson Brothers (including the younger cute one) were performing in the "lounge" at the Isle of Capri. We saw Gunner immediately head for the buffet and start loading his plate - we laughed our asses off.

Here is Ricky’s youngest son. He is cute.

He is cute.

So was Rick freebasing before the plane crash or is that just made up rumour?

When I was a kid growing up, we lived across the street from Ricky's house on Mulholland -- the old Errol Flynn house, known as "Mulholland Farm." The place was already rumored to be haunted, and since that was Ricky's home when he was killed in the plane crash, that added to the mysteriousness of the place, plus, it remained vacant for a long time, and became dark and spooky looking. .. Anyway, he was very handsome. Sometimes when we were outside, we'd see him drive by in his red Pantera, which seemed soooo exotic. .. My sister and I would wave, and he'd wave back.

R18 it is a rumor, as the fire that killed him started in the cabin. However, there was unabsorbed levels of cocaine in his body at the time of death.

R14 I always found the twins ad Tracey to be hideous. They look like the fugly Harmons.

R14 The Harmon gene pool is strong for sure. Like the Kennedy's.

Sam Nelson isn't bad looking. The twins and Tracey look too much like the Harmons. I remember the drama when Mark Harmon and Pam Dawber got temporary custody of Sam because of Kris' drug use.

If this hasn't been mentioned you should know that David Nelson was reputed to have one of the biggest cocks anyone had ever seen.

Fellow eldergays will remember David from his stints on 'Circus Of The Stars' back in the day. He was an accomplished trapeze artist and always acted as the catcher. He looked damn good in his tights.

Wow, thanks R25. We would have never known that.

Well, are you going to cry because you're mad someone else might have stolen your thunder? Here, let me get you a crying towel.

I would have presented hole to young David and Rick. They were sexy.

Sounds like Ricky lost his virginity to a tall blonde in London when he was 14.

Chris Evans look like he is related to Ricky.

I used to watch reruns of The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet on the Disney Channel in the late 1980s. Both David and Ricky were very handsome guys, it would be difficult to say which was hotter, it comes down to preference.

I had a crush on Ricky when he was older.

Should anyone need their nether regions moistened, take a gander at David, in an Army uniform, in the film "Peyton Place." He inhabits the same territory that Guy Madison does in the film "Til The End of Time."

Yow

Za!!!

It really is a shame how ugly Ricky’s sons are. Sam is not hideous, but he is pretty average. The twins are not cute at all! They were okay in their twenties. Nothing spectacular, though. His illegitimate son is kind of cute, but there is still a bit of a Jersey Shore vibe I get from him. Ricky was so fucking gorgeous. Such a loss. Does anybody know what David’s two biological sons look like?

VPL.

With the beautiful Nelson/Harmon genes, you’d think Rick’s children would’ve fared better in the looks department.

A straight female friend from the early ‘80s told me then of a friend who worked in one of the smaller clubs in which Rick then performed who reported on his same-sex involvements.

R37 I had also heard from an older guy I met from LA who worked in the music scene that it was an open secret that Rick Nelson was a dabbling bisexual.

R36 I always thought David's first wife, June Blair, looked like a real beauty compared to Ricky's wife, Kris (who sometimes looked downright dowdy). Of course, June had been a Playboy centerfold .. lol.

R37/R38, the first gay bar I ever went to in LA had a small novel on the bathroom wall about a guy's encounter with Rick Nelson there.

R39 Kris trapped him into marriage by getting knocked up. Her parents forced Ozzie and Harriet to make Ricky marry her. She was never attractive and her kids with him all look like her, unfortunately. Sam is the best one, but he is average. The other three are uggos.

Who's shed a tear listening to this one?

R42 it reminds me of Pulp Fiction and Jack Rabbit Slim’s.

Brad Pitt in one of his early films played Johnny Suede. He was obsessed with Ricky Nelson.

HE got your PANTIES wet? So your a straight woman posting on datalounge about a hetero crush? Oh no, dear, you are meant to be neither seen nor heard on this board. Women with reading comprehension skills are welcome here. Sadly, you don’t fall into that category.

As pointed out previously, the Harmons were also an especially pretty family. In addition to Mark, sister Kelly was a model.

R45 oh, dear. I’m neither a woman nor do I have reading comprehension skills. You, however, might want to make sure you use the proper you’re, rather than “your”, when trying to put somebody on blast.

I’m glad zoomers still appreciate Ricky Nelson.

Ricky reminds me of the most beautiful man ever, Alain Delon. There's something missing though... Alain's world-weary sneer? sophistication? oh I don't know - still prefer the Frenchie, except that he's a fucking fascist - original supporter of Jean Marie Le Pen

Looking at some pix, I think I got it: Ricky has sort of an ugly mouth.

Kris Harmon was trash. She was a narcissist and a junkie. None of her kids wanted to live with her. They all opted to move in with Rick after the divorce. Sam was kept away from his dad by the old cunt’s parents. Mark Harmon tried to get custody because she was such a selfish piece of garbage. She spent all of Rick’s money on her lavish lifestyle, so he had to keep touring.

[quote] Ricky reminds me of the most beautiful man ever, Alain Delon.

The young William McNamara brought Rick to mind to me.

Kris has emotional problems, which made for a volatile marriage. I think she said she's bipolar. But Rick would cheat on her when he was on the road.

Ricky hosted SNL in 1979 and was in the ¿Quien Es Mas Macho? sketch.

Ricky was beautiful. His blue eyes were gorgeous...thick dark lashes.

did they ever fool around in their bedroom?

Ricky Nelson was way before my time, but Jesus fuck he was gorgeous!

Kris Harmon was a real piece of work, very nasty and spiteful and also batshit crazy. She died a few years ago. I don't know if any of her children were on speaking terms with her.

David looked much more like Ozzie. Very cute bros.

Too bad their father was such a dick. The affable appearing Ozzie was an insufferable workaholic tyrant who was often abusive to his young sons on set.

"There Go the Nelsons"'

[quote]Which one was hotter?

Are you mad?

Ricky and Kris' daughter had cancer at a young age. I can't remember her name right now but she was (is?) an actress.

R63 Her name is Tracy. She occasionally does TV movies. She had cancer twice and IIRC, after the second bout she ended up broke.
