Son's Morbid Memory For Big Bopper's 80th Birthday
. Among other revelations, Richardson speaks of getting to see his father's body in 2007, when it was exhumed to be moved to a bigger gravesite. "That was one of the most tremendous days of my life," Richardson said. "[Anthropologist] Bill Bass was very wrong. And he will tell you that because I asked what should I expect, and he said probably very little. He was being very honest � maybe some tatters of clothing and maybe some bone fragments. "I opened the casket, and it was my dad. The crease in his pants, his hair � flat top standing up. It was amazing. My father was so well preserved. It wasn't gross. It was no different than going to a funeral � and someone saying their last goodbyes. I was able to have closure. Even though I wasn't born at the time of his death, I was able to rebury my father. His grandkids were pallbearers." - Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase Big Bopper CDs |
