can anyone give me advice about this?

Question by frankgmann: can anyone give me advice about this?
First off: I have been helping a friend with his written music (helping him with notation etc.) and he has paid me some money each time I work with him. It is somewhat a professional type of situation except it is not in a studio. Anyway, he is in the process of coming into a lot of money and his plan is to take a road trip in various countries and/or states so I can play music (either mine or his). However, he does not know anyone in the music business and my contacts are more like personal friends who are into music for fun (like me) but not big-time. He wanted me to ask a friend of mine if my friend would like to come along on the trip because of “safety in numbers.” My friend respectfully declined.

Here it is: last Sunday we walked by a guy who was sleeping on the sidewalk and the musical fellow woke him up and asked if he wanted to join us. The guy is a musician also and he is momentarily kicked out of his place and he wants to go into re-hab for severe alcoholism. (He drank rubbing alcohol and did not know it was the wrong type of alcohol to drink.) The musical fellow asked me to let the guy stay at my place and I explained I was not prepared for it because my place was not cleaned up and it’s just a small room. The musical fellow offered to pay my rent if I did it and I said it was not about the money. I finally said yes but only with the idea it would be for a few days even though the musical fellow wants to have me help the guy on a more permanent basis. The musical fellow has paid for some expenses but does not realize the alcoholic guy is not about to taper off the stuff. The musical fellow wants the alcoholic guy on the road trip with us and says my helping the guy is preparation for the trip. I would like the musical fellow to have the guy stay with him for some days, even though the musical fellow lives in a tent (because he hates his neighbors who live where he could stay if he wanted to stay in a house). I told him he was disillusional and he got offended. I believe the best route for the alcoholic guy is the rehab center and the musical fellow disagrees. He thinks what the guy needs is a road trip so he can play his music around the world. Remember, the fellow suggesting this does not know anyone in the business and he thinks all it takes is money… which could eventually run out.

I need advice on this. I’m thinking of bowing out of the trip. It seems too risky and unplanned. I’d also like to know what you think of what I’ve explained. It’s all completely true, however ridiculous it may sound.
