Recording a solo album in Nashville? I thought they were recorded last year. Is he doing another?

There's a guy I work with that carried one in his bag coming to work one day. He's also a limousine driver, has a right to carry permit, and just forgot it was in his bag. He was taken out of service at his job because they took his ramp badge, and he didn't get back to work for several months. He had to go through hell and jump through hoops for a couple of years over that incident.

Since when has Neal needed a bodyguard to travel with him from California to Tennessee? LOL. Now that he is with an E Lister he thinks they need one? She isn't even a D Lister because she can't even get on a crappy reality show.

Neal really needs to get back on the road. Down time gets him in trouble.

Dammit... I was wondering who the bodyguard was, and Richie is a really cool guy. He's also the one who would search the audience to pick the kids to give the guitars away to each night last tour, and told me that was his favorite part of the shows. The airport mishap couldn't have been anything but a mistake.

So he was so distracted or whatever, that when they checked in the bag containing his gun he let them label the bag as Michaele's? You would think that would be the one bag of his own that he would definitely keep an eye on.

All I'm saying is that anyone with a CC permit knows by now there are legit procedures for checking in a gun at the airport - should have been no big deal, and even an unintentional mistake could easily get his permit yanked. I don't know why he'd risk that consciously. Richie's a good guy - sorry this happened to him.

I'm not sure it was Richie's, but he just took the heat for them/her.
