Rick Nelson and his band were NOT free-basing. That was an ugly story invented by the media. The DC-3 Rick was flying was a WWII vintage airplane, and the wiring was faulty. That’s what caused the crash. I saw this on a program featuring Rick’s children, Tracy, Matthew, and Gunnar.

O.K., JGW. .....That’s just what I remembered from what was in the press 25 years ago.

I feel fortunate to remember anything about the incident, so I could be wrong. lol
