Trouble for Rick Springfield. The 80s pop star and TV star was in and out of jail over his DUI conviction. Rick was supposed to be in court in Los Angeles last month to prove he'd completed an alcohol-education program and paid his fines.

Mark Lindsay (of Paul Revere & The Raiders fame) was pleased to learn the group was among the stars seen on this month's PBS special on the NBC primetime TV series Hullabaloo.

He's looking forward to touring with Chuck Negron (formerly of Three Dog Night) for the first time. The tour begins its summer run on June 19th near Philadelphia.
