Nelson in Atlanta 1988: Picking up The House Fairy 

Lee Journell it should belong to the Library of Congress.

@@unknownunknowns I believe they have been articled with a few education institution's archives but they really do need to be submitted for LofC consideration. Literally the first we saw of what became a national obsession when the technology was put into everyone's hands (not to mention a very organic look at a cloistered community that will all but disappear in this coming millenia, by way of love or hate).

In addition, you can relax or sleep with them on. The airport vlogs are one of my favourites.

Yes he did.

Same here. I always feel better after watching his videos.

"A Time Machine" Exactly! That's exactly what these are!

Mandi B you mean someone actually holding something to talk on.

He truly does.

Stefan Unson what do you even mean by that?

Chris M When I said ‘stereotypes’ I’m talking about all that exaggerated big hair with loose exercise clothing, along with the dynamic synthesizing music. What I see here is more interesting than what I see in movies and TV. It’s different to me.

I love 'em! What do you mean by Hollywood stereotypes? Do you mean movies now?

Lee Sure but also the ones made back in the ‘80s. I just noticed the difference, to me.

@@unknownunknowns I notice the difference too. The films are more cinematic and that's what I love... But yeah, I do like old films too. Like The Godfather films and most of the dramas. Old horror films are alright, but I prefer the new generation. Like The Grudge films, The Ring films, etc... But there are some really mint films out now. Like The Gentleman, The Irishman, 1912, etc... How old are you? My grandparents likes old black & white films that have cowboys and indians in them. I will watch an old black & white film with my grandparents and sometimes by myself. I don't know why, I just love them kind of films... Marlon Brando films. ❤

My thoughts exactly!!

What? Did he passed?

well there's a bit more down here after 4 years:)

170K

Almost 200K subs now

@@ricarellan Wow that’s incredible! Nelson would be very happy about that I’m sure

Camping out for the Stones was one of the best times I had as a teenager. I even found some of those old Turtles Stamps that you would receive after purchasing a cassette tape.

I totally get cha. I was born in "84" and I remember the 80's but I still wish I was at least a teenager back then so I could fully enjoy the 80's. Only problem is I'd be even older than I am now lol.

My Honda was born in 1991!

lol I would loved to have seen the look on Dick's face when he reviewed the footage years later and saw that.

He was so disappointed with the day so far,,I,ve never seen him so bummed behind the camera

He changed the subject as if he were talking about something else LOL

@@summersees lol I was laughing so hard at that!

Best time in history the 80's I was a teenager and it was the most wonderful time in history at least for me!!

1992 baby here! I feel the same way. These videos are true treasures

Didnt he die from Aids?

@@mysteryman2219 no he didn’t.

What do you mean?

The dog that was chained up outside 😕

Strangely cool.

Miss Stefans...but I thought it was around the corner from WNF close to the Crystal Blue store.

Oh yeah, you are right! Around the corner. I can’t pinpoint where Dick Richards house is located.

@@charlesfosterkane8034 His house is on Adolphous, in Candler Park. Someone either here or on another video found it; I have seen it too, recently. In one of the videos when they arrive in ATL, they talk on a payphone with Dick to get directions, and then later, they mention turning on Adolphous. In one of the other ATL videos, they go to Candler Park Market, near Dick's place.

Clockwise Cat Thanks for letting me know. In the 1980s I was all over the places in the video. Even went to Club RIO several times. I am sure I crossed paths with these persons but never knew it. When I watch these videos I return to being a naive young Georgia Boy roaming the city.

@@charlesfosterkane8034 That must be pretty fascinating. I was living in Austin, Texas in the 80s; I moved to Atlanta in the early 90s. I missed out on Club Rio and a whole lot more, it seems. I had a blast in Austin, though, but I am enjoying seeing 80s ATL and 80s NYC through Nelson's lens. What a fascinating persona he is. And how fascinating ATL must have been in that time. It was fascinating when I moved here, too - I miss how it was.

Dude that's gay as fuck!

Right on

OMG BeCkY I see you everywhere. Lol

For realsies!?

@@OMG_BeCkY yes we like the same content

Rembrandt van Rijn what do you mean

Veldin yeah I found his wiki page that sucks HD had such big dreams

If he is dead, then Who is uploading these videos??? And why??

His friend who he partnered to make a TV show.

@@denverdeans why? To share what Nelson wanted to share. These 80s videos take me back. I love them dearly .

DIICK

I use to love them especially when I went to Six Flags because back then you didn't have a place to put your stuff, next to the ride or go to the fair with it. Lol

I know.right...Dick is from South Carolina. He’s definitely not a sports guy. LOL! Great video tho

Ur a baby omg I was 22 same as them!

Just happy to know that I was a alive at the same time. I can tell he was a beautiful soul. ❤️

@@lendalee2451 Nelson wasn't 22 back then, he was 40! and I guess his friends weren't that young neither.

Uh huh!

Steven lived in Little Five Points, so I think you're right.

In this video, you see the neighborhoods of Candler Park and L5P, and the Poncey-Highlands area. And yes, that's WNF.

CACTUSJACK try spokeo

no. he died July 4th 1989. heart attack

Miss Mary that's when Nelson died.

She’s better than most singers nowadays. She reminds me a little of Salt-N-Pepa or something.

todd dixon no he died in 1989 sadly

That’s Nelson Sullivan who died in July 4th 1989. Nobody has never confirmed about Stephen the young cute guy with glasses whereabouts.

Stephen joined a Mona s t ery

he died

When did he die? I just found these videos?

Coach July 4th 1989

Yes.

Nope. They were still being sold at that time. Also they were made well and lasted forever.

@@Twinklez63 Cool! I was born in 1987 and I think my parents only had touch tone. The only time I ever saw a rotary dial phone was in my grandma's basement whom I visited a few times a year. I liked to play with it, but it wasn't connected so I didn't get to ever make an actual call with it. :(

@@moccalou rotary phones were cheaper but once the touch tone showed up everyone just HAD to have them lol.

No one moat likely. Nelson died in 89 and his friends all moved on to either prison, big time star stuff, or died. Dick ran the channel up until he died a year ago.

@@genericwhitemale1114 : How did you find out Dick died?

@@lauramc5688 google. Google his name

@@genericwhitemale1114 : Thank you.

There's only 23 days in a year? Damn.

That dog was probably a right bastard

I noticed that and yea that sucks..

Helga was her name and there's other videos of her in the house. Don't worry she was well loved.

i think it was the law that dogs be on a chain attached to the house if outside unsupervised

Agreed

Frank Nitti he didn't die of aids supposedly

hearts truth it was a heart attack

Ryan Stroup I know

so he was filming himself bc of aids... His first video on youtube dats 1983 and the last video was in 1989. That doenst make sense considering people with aids diagnose back then couldn last that long with such a good look. He wasn doing that bc of aids. at all. Doesnt make sense.

It wasn't AIDS. He unexpectedly died young from a heart attack. He was just ahead of his time and made these awesome videos (basically Vlogs).

I always wondered about the whole gang being illuminutties, ya know.
