    Gunnar has to have some of the greatest stories ever!!! I mean, blow by statements
    like "Mamma Cass babysat us" and "George Harrison ate breakfast with us". Then all the stuff about the Flynn house that I'm sure he could dive deeper much deeper into. I mean WOW!!!
    Have these guys considered writing an autobiography? From the few things Gunnar said, hinted to and made a quick comment about, i can see a 60 hour long audio book. I'd be glued to that!

    Wow! What an amazing interview Jordan. I was captivated by Gunnar's extremely articulate and vivid recollections and the way he generously shared the historical aspects of his hugely talented family's life. All of us grew up with the Nelson Family--whether it was with bandleader Ozzie Nelson's music, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Ricky Nelson, Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band, or The Nelson Brothers. The Nelson family have been and continue to be part of the fabric of many of our lives.
    Both Gunnar and Matthew are an amazing testament to their father's huge legacy yet stand on their own incredible merits and talents. I had the opportunity to meet both brothers when I was a music publicist in Hollywood. It was so refreshing to meet two immensely grounded and genuinely real individuals. Their tribute to their father is stellar and a must see for any fan of Ricky, The Nelsons, or great music for that matter. They commit 110% to each performance, as you can see from their preparation, which you magically captured in your vlog Jordan.
    Outstanding interview Jordan and very much look forward to seeing The Nelson's on tour in 2022!

      Have you worked in the industry? I have. Veteran of the industry...both performing and the biz, music and tv. I have incurred far more injustice and abuse in so-called normal jobs than in entertainment. The main thing with regard to as you put it underbellies" in any business is knowing your rights, how well you negotiate, and your luck re who your bosses are. That goes for all types of businesses. Sometimes you are lucky as to who your bosses and sometimes not.

      @@IMeMineWho , I agree 100% with you regarding know your bosses. I was referring to the evil things that some entertainers are subjected to, in order to rise to out of this world fame. I had wrestled with the me, too movement for various reasons, mostly because it was hard to understand the enormity of this. But even that's not really what I was referring to, when I said, " What sick bastards these star makers were." I was going much deeper. I just was trying not to be graphic. I believe that every contract should be looked at by an attorney. I say that now, not because of the Crowder v Daily Wire garbage going on now. I find Crowder to be a snake using the lack of knowledge most of his listeners have regarding contracts. If anything good comes from his charade it might be that people will not sign anything without a lawyer. But back to your comment, I agree that there is underhanded bosses everywhere. The entertainment community has a conundrum in that most entertainers just want to do what they love, many are living and breathing their art. Whereas applying to a corporation, is just not the same. That leaves our artist a bit more vulnerable. It's a tough world and if you are careful it will destroy you. I wish you nothing but the best and I hope you live the life of your dreams. 👏

They were both really nice kids, Gunnar the more chatty of the two. Have a photo of us "Doing the Time Warp" at one of the camp dances. They used to sing once in awhile too. The other campers were a bit young to know who their dad was, but the counselors did, and could easily see and hear the resemblance. Josh Brolin and Jonathan Gilbert were campers there that summer as well. Thanks for sharing this , and celebrating their continuing success Nancy Chester ..camp name "Trigger"

    The comedy, bond and love, these two just bounced off of each other.
    The tribute to their father was endearing, emotional and just beautifully done! I was so blessed and honored.
    The nicest down to earth Kids on the planet.
    They stayed at the same hotel in Miami that we did.
    I admit being starstruck. Gunner was sitting with his family.
    As we passed by them I beaver and thanked them for such an unforgettable experience. I was holding my phone but afraid to adj for a pic. He picked up on this and asked me if we wanted a sekfie. My ear to ear smile and immediate "really" you don't mind?! He laughed and said here, I'm taller and I'm a pro at selfies😁 It was by far in the top 5 major highlights of that cruise for me.

    My son was 9 mos old when I took him to an eye dr appointment in Encino Ca. While in the waiting room, there were a couple of twin boys running around. in the small reception room , raising general hell. They had a teenage boy (presumably their babysitter) with them. Failing to control the two little hellers, he finally said “If you guys don’t straighten up, I’m telling your dad about the gun!”. Next thing I knew, who walked into the waiting room, but Ricky Nelson. The nurse and receptionist were pretty star struck and everyone in the room just got real quiet - whether out of shock or what I don’t know. I do remember he looked amazing - great looking guy, wearing a leather vest with long fringe, along with really nice clothes- kind of like something he’d appear in in concert. . Apparently their mom was supposed to meet them all there but my turn was called to take my baby into see the dr so I didn’t see how the whole scenario ended. I was never a huge fan of Ricky Nelson but it was definitely a big deal to see a musician of his fame( which was right up there with Elvis at the time) up close. That’s probably the last time those boys had short hair! 😄

    Wow! Great interview! I could have easily listened to Gunnar for a couple more hours. I loved it when he said he has a low tolerance for stupidity. I really felt for Rick when he said he was gone all the time to get away from his wife and the divorce. I remember when Mark Harmon, Kris Nelson’s brother, tried to get custody of their little brother. She must have really had problems. It was really eerie when he said his Dad didn’t want them riding in the plane the day before the crash. Thanks for sharing this interview.

      Gunnar is not speaking of Hollywood as a business when he speaks of the seaminess of Hollywood. There is Hollywood the physical place and then there is Hollywood that ppl who do not live in California imagine (the entertainment business). Gunnar when he speaks of being an empath and sensing ppl's desperation is speaking of Hollywood the place as the physical location brings many ppl who do not research either the business, nor do they have a backup plan when they come to Hollywood to attempt to realize their dreams which then become broken and then may become homeless or addicted due to lack of prep work and research. I have worked performing and in the biz and heard many Midwesterners and Southerners who dreamt of being musicians or actors and came here without a dime and no contacts or training who nonetheless came to California hoping to make it and convinced because they were handsome or pretty and thus would attain stardom in a year. These are the ppl who become addicted or homeless.

    When you go into a house full of history where at times a lot of bad experiences happened to one or several people that emotion stays behind and you can feel it. Flynn I'd say wasn't perfect to a lot of women in his life and then Ricky and his wife had a difficult relationship that were filled with some disagreements. All of that's stayed behind and can affect the people who are more emotional.

    Seems like a righteous dude. The kind of guy I'd be happy to be neighbors with.
    I took my then gf to the old Farmers Fair in Hemet, Southern California, one Summer. Ricky Nelson was on that night, and we had a great time listening and nostalgia-ing. A few short months later I'm at work and we have the radio on. The news of the crash is announced, and, for some reason, it really hits me. I get this weird (I know) feeling that we played some weird ethereal part in it. I never watched another live performance by any act at a fair - LA County, Orange County, Riverside County, Del Mar.....nothing to this day.
    The gf moved an hour away, the other side of the planet for a 17-18 year old dude working his butt off, and we broke up. 28 years later I get a letter in the mail. She tracked me down. That was like 12 years ago (I think lol), we've been together since and married for like 7 (?).
    I still talk about Ricky Nelson, and everybody thinks I'm nuts. Yeah, well, maybe......

I've always been drawn to the stories, the emotions and feelings that music can stir and create. Music is an entity of it's own. I too am very empathetic and pick up on things so I can relate to everything Gunner talks about. I was introduced to Rick Nelson's music as a tiny little girl. I thought he was better than Elvis! As I got older I went back and watched all the old episodes of Ozzy and Harriette and finally found as many 45's as I could find!
