I guess show business families are very different than what I know. What kind of parent keeps bringing their 18 month old twins onto a film studio when the children keep crying while at the studio?
Maybe I’m being naive. I know the stories of how the Beach Boys were bullied by the dad for years, even after they became successful. There’s poor Michael Jackson and his ‘fear’ of his father. It’s a paradox. There is often much suffering before (and because) success has been achieved.
Maybe the Jackson Five should follow the Beach Boys lead and add John Stamos their group.
My best buddy played lead guitar on a couple of Ricky’s kid’s tours. He says they are great guys. Show business is in their blood. I miss Ricky’s great music! I was a fan of Ozzie and Harriet’s show, and really looked forward to Ricky singing a song. Also a huge James Burton fan! And Ozzie knew James was special! They’d zoom in the camera on James when he played his solos. Specially on the classic “Hello Mary Lou.”
