This week brought one of those "I should have known better" business snafus, which reminded me of Van Halen and their legendary Brown M&M rider, described here by NPR:It's one of those rock 'n' roll legends that turns out to be true: In the 1980s, the party-rock superstars in Van Halen demanded, via a clause embedded in their tour rider, that no brown-colored M&Ms be allowed backstage at their concerts....The clause was less an example of "simple rock star misdemeanor excess" than an ingenious, curiously skewed (and sadly still relevant) safety measure.
