Scott Russo, lead singer for Unwritten Law, lost his home to a fire early Friday morning. Russo, his parents, his two young sons, and his daughter Cailin all shared the San Diego home. Although no family members were injured, the family lost every piece of their belongings.
Scott is the financial supporter of his entire family. "I am at a complete loss for words," Russo says. "My entire family is now homeless, all our pets are dead and all our earthly possessions are gone. In these tough times, my family had been out of work, and the financial burden was too heavy for me to afford home insurance. I’m left with nothing in this world except my family, friends and band, who I’m very thankful are ok. The support from my friends has been overwhelming."

Downtown where? There are a lot of HOB's in SoCal...
San Diego
even though i feel terrible that he's lost everything, i dont know if i could support someone who is a fairly successful musician who didnt buy home insurance. it's one of the cheapest things you can buy. honestly.
AS A BENEFIT HOB SHOULD MAKE IT A 16+ SHOW W/ADULT ANY CHANCE. COME ON ITS FOR A GREAT CAUSE!!! LISA
TO CAPTAIN MORGAN THIS IS 2009 IF YOU HADN'T NOTICED TIMES ARE TOUGH. YOU DO WHAT YOU CAN TO MAKE ENDS MEET. INSURANCE ISN'T AS CHEAP AS YOU THINK. SPECIALLY WHEN YOUR HELPING YOUR FAMILY.WE DO WHAT WE CAN WHEN WE CAN.I DO. YOU MIGHT FEEL TERRIBLE BUT HAVE A HEART. MAYBE GIVE UP THAT NEXT DRINK.
i'm not one to get into a comment fight here, and i understand you're point (though I'm not a fan of the shot regarding my drinking). my point is, insurance IS as cheap as i think as i've had to set it up for the different locations i've lived in. kudos to him for taking care of his family, but he should have thought a little harder about how to PROPERLY take care of his family.
oh, btw, did anyone ever tell you that writing in all caps makes it seem: a) adolescent and b) that you're yelling at people. just a thought.
and i've got a heart, it just doesnt beat - or have room in it - for idiots.
