    Why should she Jon? I mean she is raising "awareness" for the children's organization. Hopefully some a lot of money as well. She doesn't need much as long as she continues to get the "good will of the people" for support, she has it made...endless days of touring.She'll probably go home when all the good will runs out.

    Jon is simply jealous, just as quite a few of us are. I'd love to just be riding around raising awareness for almost anything. However, my wife has other plans for my time.
