Episode Notes
Musicians are notorious for including insane riders in their contracts when it comes to live shows. Kanye demands a barber chair in his dressing room, for example. But rock gods Van Halen had a particularly odd demand that there be no brown M&Ms in their dressing room. Was this just classic diva behavior, or a brilliant strategic test?
