wraub Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 Thought this was amusing and interesting... [url=http://www.thesmokinggun.com]www.thesmokinggun.com[/url] Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.
Hippie Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 'The smoking gun' has what I refer to as, selective amnesia, for sensation's sake. -They omit the fact that tour promoters offer up the world to these big acts. (fat, cigar-chomping, bad suit, promoter-type voice)'Listen babe, tell me what you need babe, no matter how far-fetched babe, I'll take care of it babe, you know I'm in your corner babe, ($$$) you just name it babe you got it, love ya, babe'. ($$$) :) In two days, it won't matter.
BP3 Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 Macca's eased up a good bit from the Linda days. I had a copy of their rider given to me by someone at the Yokohama Arena in 1990. We were playing there a week before Paul and company. The rider was easily 25 pages (instead of twelve) and basically forbade the sale of any meat products by any vendor either inside or outside the venue. The other requests were far more detailed as well.
wraub Posted December 1, 2002 Author Posted December 1, 2002 True indeed. But if you notice, this rider has very specific requests, dictated by Macca's peeps. 20 dozen towels and 24 bars of soap, no animal products backstage (even animal prints), specific flowers that MUST be there, etc. Oh, and the phone for the dancers is restricted, but all others are not. Again, indeed, pretty typical. Just found it interesting, is all. Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.

Don't know why you can't access... Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.

Maybe they plan to cut them in small squares and sell on e-bay as "Original Beatles souvenirs". Or perhaps they intend to steal all glasses and porcelain from the back stage area and need something to wrap it in. If I was the promotor I would rather provide 2 towels and a soap per person and a roll of bubble plastic for the loot. Talking of crimes and misdemeanors, I know a guy that has been playing for several years in hotels, cruising ships and bars. I bet that all towels, cuttlery, flatware etc in his house are "donations". Well, I guess, to become rich, you have to spend [url=http://english.planetarabia.com/content/article.cfm/103366/115819]as little as possible of your own money[/url] . /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want?
