Jon needs Phil for PR reasons. The band needs a rockstar, not yet another Jon's homeboy *half his family is already involved* and Phil gives the right impression. He's just a guy to rock on stage, though, as he's not been given any chance to get creative in the studio and after reading some interviews with him, he is well aware of his status in the band. Not that he complains, either. Everyone seems to be content with this situation.
