Oh Trey!

From The Associated Press:
Anastasio Jailed for Missing Session

    FORT EDWARD, N.Y. (AP) — Trey Anastasio spent two days in an upstate New York jail last week for missing a counseling session required after he pleaded guilty to a drug charge in April.

    The 43-year-old former Phish lead singer was ordered to participate in the Washington County court's treatment program when he pleaded guilty to possessing painkillers without a prescription during a traffic stop in December 2006.

    The program requires weekly court appearances for 12 months to 15 months, community service and drug testing.

    Assistant District Attorney Tony Jordan told the Glens Falls Post-Star that Anastasio, who lives in Richmond, Vt., missed one counseling session and the violation didn't involve a drug test.

    Sheriff Roger Leclaire said the musician's two days in jail were uneventful and he spent them in the general population.


Come on now, how many fans wouldn't dedicate one day a week for two years to be his personal driver and get him to the meetings. We could even have a work-wheel and rotate the job, with each person getting a turn.

Good luck Trey, here's hoping you pull it together and we can see you rocking out on stage soon enough...
