Go Read It!

One of the great features of The Smoking Gun website is their collection of "riders." These are contract add-ons when performers tour…a list of things they'd like in their dressing rooms, on stage, etc. Some of them are quite amazing with their piggish or fussy demands, or revealing about what really matters to the performer(s) in question. The guys who comprise Gnarls Barkley, for instance, insists that their dressing room be equipped with Magnum Condoms. Is that on the list because they need them or because they want everyone to believe they need them?

But they recently posted the all-time champ among such documents. I'm not particularly a fan of Foo Fighters but I would be if their music was as wonderful as their touring rider.
