We've all heard the stories of artists demanding a brown Playstation 1 and a bowl of nothing but green M&M's right?
So let's say you're the hottest sensation. List 10-20 things the venue/promoter MUST have in your dressing room or you'll walk off in a diva-like huff...
Me, ain't no show if I ain't got:
1. A VHS copy of the first Muppet movie 2. 2.5 lbs of Twizzlers 3. A microwave and Stouffers mac and cheese (LORD HELP YOU IF IT'S NOT STOUFFER'S) 4. One plum floating in perfume in a tophat. 5. Three bottles of Pappy Van Winkle 6. Two flat screen 4K TV's 7. 7 bags of spinach 8. A book of matches 9. one case of Fiji water 10. Tattoo artist on call. (not for me though, I have none) ______________________________________________________________________________

2. "About the VanHalen M&M thing: It wasn't diva shit" In response to Reply # 0
VanHalen had one of the most elaborate productions touring at the time. Crazy lights, pyrotechnics, wire harnesses and shit. They tossed the bowl of m&ms with the brown (or green, I can't remember) ones removed so they could easily check how well the venue adhered to the details. Walk in, and the M&Ms are wrong, you know you have to double-check EVERYTHING.
