Anything less that $100 ISNT ok.

Travis, and DJ AM you guys are blessed and it is great that you are extending your blessing onto your friends/team members. Think nothing of the ramblings of some bloggers who have not donated a dime to anything or anyone, but point fingers. God Bless you and your family.

In your May issue on the 7 hair experts must-haves page (77) you cited Klorane Dry Shampoo coul be purchased thru drugstore.com. Sorry, it carries a wide variety of Klorane products, but no dry shampoo. Any suggestions? Georgia Owens

Dear Stephanie,

Thanks for being a moron. It is people like you who make internet message boards the entertaining treasure trove of idiocy that they are.

You said, “The government gave money to all of the families who died in 911 not just a few of them so before you make statements do your research.”

That’s delightful.

First, please use commas; it helps to make things easier to read.

Second, you can’t die IN 911; you can die ON 911, or “in the events of 911.”

Third, what does your statement have to do with someone creating a t-shirt in memory of his or her friend who died in the WTC, and to help generate money to support his or her family now that the person is gone? What a specific person wants to do to honor someone who died in a tragedy has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not everyone gets money from the government. Your logic, or lack thereof, is astounding. My point was, a person wanting to create a t-shirt or poster or website or whatever to support their dead friend DOES NOT HAVE TO DO THE SAME FOR THE OTHER 3000 VICTIMS.

Travis is doing the same thing by creating a t-shirt that celebrates his friends and provides financial support to their loved ones who are left behind. It is not his responsibility to honor the pilot and copilot, and we have NO IDEA if he is offering them any support behind the scenes. If the airline is found to be at fault, I am sure the copilot and pilot’s family will receive money. If it was caused by pilot error, they will rightfully not receive anything. If the government wants to dole out money left and right, as you so ingeniously pointed out, that’s great too, but has nothing to do with what Travis has done to support his friends.

Meh. I think all of the money made off the shirts should go to the company who lost the airplane. Those things aren’t cheap you know…

First of all none of us what Travis and Adam are going through. Second he may have done something nice for the families of the other victims. Third profits will more than likely go to all. It’s easy to sit back and judge, but the truth is none of us know. Instead of bashing him for his good deeds, give him some credit, from what I know of him, he is a kind hearted man!

The proceeds from the sales of this shirt should be shared among the families of ALL the victims. I’m sure the pilots friends and families love them no less than Chris and CHE’s friends and families love them. The difference here is that Chris and CHE have famous friends who’s star power alone can raise more money on selling tribute t-shirts than is likely of the average person doing the same, which is why their star power should benefit ALL the victims of this horrible crash as they ALL died together.

I like the design and the sentiment. Both DJ AM and Travis have shone that they are good, decent men. their significant others and families have also shone their love. we need those positive examples these days. God bless them all.

I agree…the pilots should be remembered too!! Responding to April’s comment, even if the pilots’ friends and family tried to contact the press to put together some type of memorial, they would not get any publicity. And that is because they are not famous. I applaud Travis’ efforts to memorialize his friends but Travis, DJ AM, Chris and Che were not the only ones on that plane.

First off, these pilots ,make a lot of money. Check it out! Their families are taken care of by the pilots union…

It’s not up to Travis or anyone else to help the two pilots that almost killed them, with bad judgment on take off. You can not abort a flight at that speed. No one would be dead if the pilots knew how to land a plane with a blown tire. They chose to abort take off just before lifting off. The speed was to great. Pilot error. No, I would leave it up to their family and friends to do something.

Amazing! Just out of the hospital, from the worst type of injury, and Travis does something nice like this! I would hope that the friends of the Pilot and Co-Pilot would do the same for their families. Awesome!

One of the pilots was James Bland who was a retired Customs and Border Protection, Air and Marine Pilot. He might not of been famous, but he had an important job. The mission of CBP Air and Marine (CBP A&M), the world’s largest law enforcement air force, is to protect the American people and Nation through the coordinated use of integrated air and marine forces to detect, interdict and prevent acts of terrorism and the unlawful movement of people, illegal drugs and other contraband toward or across the borders of the United States.

Travis Barker truly is a good person with a big heart. I agree with some other people though, why hasn’t a fund been set up for the pilots families? They are not rich and famous, and maybe their families aren’t really sure how to set something up to raise money. They are grieving a loved one and sadly nobody seems to care about them as much as the best friend & bodygaurd. Still, I think what Travis is doing is great. Good for him.

i think these shirts are a great idea! and i agree that the other victims should be remembered among them also. after all ,they died together.its not about being famous or not, or rich. its a death and it takes whomever it can.
