Isn't that a Nikki Lund and Richie song? haha

Great quote Becky but it's too bad you have to live it :(

And the community service was great for all my kids. My daughter is now an environmental scientist due to some of the work she wound up doing in high school. It made a real impression on her. And my eldest son is donating a ton of time to a "do gooder" group now that he is (mostly) recovered from a divorce. I would certainly recommend it.

Though to be fair we don't know what kind of community service Ava is doing and why (back to conspiracy theories) LOL.

Like I said before book The Drills as support for the remainder of the tour on the basis that if Richie bails again Phil is there waiting in the wings.

Ava is also a cheerleader, so it could be the squad doing community service as well.

That's what I'd do if I were Jon. Richie just can't be counted on to show up anymore.

Lots of schools in the US have these service days. Even as an alum, I'm encouraged to participate in them with current students. Just last month I did Hurricane Sandy relief work in Union Beach, NJ - it was great to meet current students and good for the students to network with the alumni, because it's never to early to start thinking about life after graduation!

Even if they don't need that insurance, it would be a perfect way to thank Phil for bailing the band out twice now, let his band get some much needed and deserved exposure to a wider audience. Not everybody's cup of tea but, they're bound to gain SOME new fans out of it...

If Ava did something really bad to warrant getting forced to do community service, wouldn't the press have picked up on it since she's the product of two celeb parents? Or would she be protected since she's a minor?

It'd be picked up, remember when Britney Spears sister had an under age pregnancy, that was all over the media.

Papparazzi would find out either way. Especially since she is just starting to get her career off the ground, they just love knocking people down
