Concert Rider

[The_Veg]

I'm not talking about motorcycling to a concert, I'm talking about that part of a performance contract in which the performer's preferences are spelled out. The part in which Van Halen (legend has it but not true) once asked for a wheelbarrow full of green M&M's.
I found this one this morning...standard disclaimer: it's full of blue language so keep the kids away from the monitor if you're not into them learning that stuff...Anyway, it's the rider for a recent Iggy & The Stooges tour and I found it to be hilarious and just bloody f@cking brilliant. Read at you own risk:

Van Halen's standard performance contract contained a provision calling for them to be provided with a bowl of M&Ms, but with all the brown candies removed. (http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/vanhalen.htm)

I read, and I read, and finally, just when I was giving out hope, MOTORCYCLE CONTENT! In fact, BMW motorcycle content! Smashing! :D
