I am referring to the 1992 book Teenage Idol: Traveling Man. I am currently reading it now. I have briefly skimmed it, his late girlfriend Helen is not painted in a good light, according to the author, not only did she have a serious drug issues, she also shop lifted and stole $50 from a band member's wife. It was also noted her home life growing up was dicey. In addition, she threatened Rick with a palimony suit if he did not marry her. If any of that is true, poor guy. Has anyone seen the 1999 biopic on the singer? On Moviechat, many fans were disappointed the actor did not favor him. I tried to order it from the library, but it was not available.

I've seen it. The whole family was cast in a very unflattering light. And certainly Rick was.

Wow niow I really want to see it. Maybe YT has clips. I might check Daily Motion . How long ago did you watch it?

I saw it a few weeks ago.

In this movie it seemed Ozzie cared only about the show. We've heard he was a perfectionist, but the portrayal might have been slightly exaggerated.

Bashe's book isn't nearly as bad as Selvin's. Selvin has Ricky smoking pot in the studio at 18 years old, getting a hooker pregnant, and basically smoking or f***ing anything in his path.
