howie sometimes finds that he and american airlines collide

I'm so very clever. Hey Howie, how about not locking anybody in the bathroom or harrassing flight attendants for awhile, mmkay? That said, I would not have refused sexual advances from Mr. Day. Not that I would've been in a position to recieve them. I saw him after a show once and I just sort of stood there. I feel kind of weird about violating a person's personal space, even when said person is famous, and it's directly after a show, when said person doesn't really have any expectation of privacy. This is what passes for news in my world right now.

BOSTON (April 26) - Pop singer Howie Day won't face any jail time for his rowdy
behavior on a Boston-bound American Airlines flight in December.

Day, 25, was ordered on Wednesday to serve one year
of probation on a charge of interfering with a flight crew for his behavior on a
Dec. 21 flight from Dallas to Boston.

Day, of Brewer, Maine, was returning home for the holidays on
American Airlines Flight 2250 when prosecutors say he became verbally abusive to
the flight crew.

As conditions of his probation, Day must write letters of
apology to American Airlines, as well as the passengers, captain and an
attendant aboard the flight. He must also complete an alcohol counseling
program, said David Procopio, a spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Dan
Conley.
Day's attorney, Paul V. Kelly, said Day took a sleeping pill to help
him fall asleep aboard the flight, then had a couple of alcoholic drinks.

He disputed prosecutors' description of what happened on the
plane, saying it was "inaccurate and overblown."

Prosecutors said he smoked a cigarette, kicked the backs of
chairs and was verbally abusive to the flight crew. Kelly said he did not smoke
and had a loud altercation with a passenger, not the flight crew.

If Day complies with the conditions of the probation, the
charge of interfering with a flight crew will be dismissed.

"There were no injuries, the operation of the flight itself
was not disturbed, so we feel this is an appropriate punishment," Procopio said.

It wasn't Day's first brush with the law.

In March 2004, Day was arrested in Madison, Wis., for
allegedly locking a woman in the bathroom of a tour bus after she refused his
sexual advances. He then broke the cell phone of another woman who tried to call
police, according to the criminal complaint.

The singer-songwriter received critical acclaim for his 2003
album, "Stop All the World Now," which featured the hit song, "Collide."
