The way I understand it, these riders are weirdly specific so that when you show up and see a bowl of green M+M’s, it’s a good diagnostic test to be sure that the stage won’t collapse and that you won’t get shocked… In other words, if they are faithful with the little things, they’ve probably been faithful with the big ones. But maybe that’s just the logical sounding justification that divas use to justify their odd preferences…

Michael Buble was probably doing a show at a venue that also housed a hockey arena. I worked at the Sommet Center in Nashville where Michael Buble did indeed play. I wonder if he needed a Predators puck…

No cashews. They give me gas. What is that Woodro? Keep it to yourself bro.

I like That Guys list. Rod Stewart lookalike and Snuggies for the band now that’s funny man!

My list–
1 box of Nutter Butters
1 box of Oatmeal Cream Pies
2 boxes of Ding Dongs (frozen)
3 cases of Natty Light
1 Bottle of George Dickle
1 mini trampoline with a 10 foot basketball hoop

That should do it! Now I’m hyped!

I would ask for a case of Beer Nuts – Almonds. No cashews. They give me gas. An order of fish tacos. A bottle of Don Julio – reposado. And a big giant Toblerone that you can only get at airports.

I fully agree with bbb…

I never forget my days of being a general assistant at the Hit Factory in NYC….particularly when Whitney Houston would come in. We’d get a 2 page fax outlining everything she needed. I’d spend an hour at the grocery store getting all the stuff…specific to brand name and all. When I’d return to the studio, we’d spend another hour getting the water chilled to her desired temperature, the AC set just right. At that level, the studio was in as much the hospitality business as it was in the business of recording music. I was amazed. Most of the stuff would go untouched throughout the session.

Foo Fighters always have the best. Who doesn’t want “stinky cheese?”

I must say I am impressed with your extensive knowledge on Dating Reality TV Shows!

I see Meatloaf requires roast pork tenderloin…and cracker jacks..
