Yeah, I’m in St. Louis pretty often and people don’t really drink Badweiser. It’s mostly Schlafley, which is a great beer.

There’s plenty of good local beer in St. Louis – you just need your rider to be a bit more specific. Same for Milwaukee and Denver.

Look, who’s in here? No one.
And this one has a little guy in it. It’s a complete catastrophe..
No, no it won’t affect my performance

Yeah, Van Halen had no brown M&M’s backstage, had to be removed. Written into the contract.

I read an interesting article about the famous M&M requirement(I think it was Van Halen that had that one). The point in including it was to determine if the venue staff had actually read through the contract and met all the requirements. If the M&M’s weren’t right, they were virtually guaranteed that many other things were missed and as a result knew to go over everything before the show started. The interview I read he went on about how it saved them from a stage that had been built under spec for the load they would be putting on it and how it would have collapsed during the show if they’d not double checked everything…

Actually the first thought I had when looking at the picture was your daughter giving you hell over something like her nickname “Mookie”.

Hey, she ain’t bad for 53. Gotta give her that. Not in the Michelle Pfeiffer / Renee Russo 50-something category, but not bad at all.
(I will omit the obligatory Drew Barrymore comment usually made in these situations)

I’d take that at my age.

Hell, I’d take Lassie at my age – even one of the stuffed ones. At least they don’t suddenly deflate on you.

Nice job on the photo. For what it’s worth, the actress that played Veruca Salt in the original Willy Wonka is not a bad looking woman at all. 10 years older than me, and has aged much better.
Just wanted to pass it along to readers.
