Rob Eaton Heads To The Injured List

at least when they had benefit concerts the fans got some music in return for their financial assistance.. now it's just Go Fund Me?

Risking his life to bring music to the masses.   Hope he gets well soon.

>>>>Maybe Bobby could sit in?

Didn't Bobby make a surprise appearance at a DSO show, where he replaced false Bob mid-song and left the crowd stunned in amazement?  

<"...he broke the bones after falling while getting out of a swimming pool...">

Sure

I saw Bobby replace Rob two times at the Fillmore this was back when John K was lead. I don't remember any mid song replacements both times it was the second set. I do remember that the first time John sang the Jerry tunes, but the second time Bobby sang them and it looked to me like every one in the band was surprised by that. 

Anyway sucks that Rob broke his wrist. Hope he gets better and can play again. Always enjoyed DSO. 

Why didn't he have health insurance? 

Trey to fill in

$75k for a broken arm seems kind of steep.

Rob Eaton begging for money with a Go fund me is laughable considering the $ he's made touring with DSO for over 25 years. 

Warfield was the first Bobby sit in, midway 1st set. 

A Buddy hadn't seen DSO before nor had he seen Bobby in a while

Bobstar was sporting a full beard

we met at the bar at halftime

"Man that Weir guy sure looks like Bobby"

"Dude. That was Weir"

Insurance? Maybe he was out of network. Happened to me while traveling. 

>the $ he's made touring with DSO for over 25 years

Probably just enough to contribute to some household bills.  Not sure what you think a small touring act nets after bills?

I admit, I was skeptical about this story at first. Sounds fishy. Rock star. Swimming pool. Accidently tripped over an inflatable whale while chasing Fake Donna  -- even though the sign clearly says No Running.

But jambase just released actual footage of the incident...

Is that the Nirvana baby all grown up?

 i bet my 2 back surgeries are 250 k plus   or minus 30 days in the Hospital WTF !!

ADD Casa Migos Blanco and anything CAN happen.

I'd imagine each of the members make around $150K/year. 

JR's right. I guess the wise move would be to buy some Obamacare instead of tacos and beer.

"RE: We’ve been doing Facebook streams. Rob, my son and I, started it about 6, 7 weeks ago, for 30 minutes every Tuesday. It’s successful. We’d make 500 bucks, 250 bucks each. Then we started stretching out and doing electric. Agave gave us our space so we were able to do a couple of streams from there. And then we were able to hire some of my Dark Star crew that lives in Denver, and give them some income. We’re not talking big dollars, but 100 bucks there, 200 bucks here…

VD: It’s still something.

RE: It’s beer money. 

Jake Wolf: It’s food for a week.

rough go.

not sure about the buck and a qtr.

why IS it $75k?

ask the pharm industry.

we don't want any of that socialized medicine.

I'd imagine 75 is what the hospital charges the insurance company.

However the hospital actually gets paid less.

What the hospital charges and what the insurance company pays are not the same.

Fee schedule rate and negotiated reimbursement rate are two different things.

200 charge actually only gets paid at say 150 or 125. It's the wacky world of medical billing.

He should demand and only pay what the hospital gets paid, not what they charge.

It's hard to guess how much musicians actually make when touring, there are many costs & expenses, but DSO hadn't been playing little places for quite a while. They were filling up 3,000 - 7,000 seat venues for a number of years, and playing many, many shows a year. That's good money. How much exactly? Where's Vorty when we need him?!?

I'd think they'd been doing pretty well for themselves the past few years, but if they didn't set up a plan for health insurance they set themselves up to fail.

When we're young we don't think we'll ever get old, and have "old" issues.

But if we're lucky we do get old, and sooner or later we have most if not all of those damned issues.

A $75,000 bill for a broken wrist? That's just bad planning.

this go fund me has to be a joke -- seriouslky?   i do think he was the best imitator in the band  (bass the weakest link IMO)

life is real , not fade away.

when I had cancer 10 years ago i saw a bill for overall treatment costs that i think said  $450,000 US dollars
