    Is this a trick question? I feel like I am going backwards in time.

    So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night.

    So, Jeff Beck pops his head around the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So, we go. And it's closed. So there's me and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son, well that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really.

    But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.

    Have wasted much time reading the band riders on Smoking Gun. Some of them are really funny (there is a Foo Fighters one that comes to mind) and while I get everyone wants booze and food, I laugh when i read the ones asking for cigarettes, t-shirts, socks and underwear. Fuck off, buy your own shit.

    Yeah, Huggy. Food and drink. Maybe a few packs of smokes? But anything else? Fuck off.

    Clothing makes sense if you think about it. The band is on the road, might not be in town very long before going to the next stop, I doubt they have time to do laundry very often. Plus, performing on stage makes them a disgusting, sweaty mess. Getting the promoter to throw in some free, cheap clothes to change into seems like a convenience, if not a necessity.

    True but many riders also include the availability of runners to do just about anything the band needs, including laundry and dry cleaning.

    Tix go on sale for Coachella tomorrow and I will be buying. Even if GNR doesn't show, the whole festival will compensate.
