Re: GREATEST MYSTERY OF THE UNIVERSE FINALLY REVEALED!
As an old rocker, I can totally understand the frustrations of arriving at a venue that is woefully unprepared for you. Hence the 'rider' most groups add to the basic contract. The best and probably most famous (among musicians) of these riders was written by the road manager of Iggy Pop and the Stooges:
Marvellous and Most Instructive Information Document
Warning, it is rather long and contains much info only familiar to those who work in the industry. However, the humour and brilliance in the writing of this rider should be evident even to the uninitiated. If you take the time to peruse it, I hope you find it entertaining.

My son does setup and take down at various kinds of live venues.. mostly music. He's quite familiar with the hidden requests such as the brown M&Ms. He comes home with some amusing stories from time to time.

He may well be familiar with the Stooges rider, then. It's a classic.
