As Liz points out, \u201cLIFE magazine actually coined the phrase ‘Teen Idol’<\/em> to describe Ricky Nelson,\u201d so Rick\u2019s ranking (#5) is well-deserved.\u00a0 But the Nelson camp is being charitable:\u00a0 If you see the list you\u2019ll note that the voters seemed to vote more from personal nostalgia than cultural impact.<\/p>\n

How else would one explain DAVID CASSIDY being voted the #1 teen idol, or\u00a0MARK-PAUL GOSSELAAR \u00a0(#4) being voted a bigger teen idol than Nelson?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In any event, Gunnar and Matthew are currently on tour with the\u00a0RICKY NELSON REMEMBERED<\/em><\/strong> show – a multimedia tribute show featuring live renditions of Rick\u2019s hits, as well as \u201cnever before seen footage of the Nelson family with interviews from celebrities influenced by Ricky Nelson. The show appeals to a wide audience and multiple generations and 2010 will mark the 25th anniversary of Rick Nelson’s passing with that tragic New Year’s Eve plane crash.\u201d<\/p>\n
