I miss the light-brown (tan) M&M's.

The Van Halen tour rider really had nothing to do with their dislike of brown M&M's, but was all about whether the promoter had actually read the riders requirements for the venue, that were needed for to support their massive show. It was easy to walk into the dressing room and see if that requirement had not been met, it showed they read the rider. If not the tech staff would do a line by line check for things like the ability of the floor to support the stage & rigging, the electrical requirements, etc ...

Hmmm, that's reasonably clever.

IIRC they didn't invent it. The idea was credited to a promoter that they worked with in their early mega-area shows. He had it as part of the rider and they continued with the idea. As years went on it was used as an example of the excesses of rock & roll bands, when in reality it was designed as coal mine canary.

Yes, the tan ones DO taste so much better! (

[mrbigstuff]

Interesting - my previous post has disappeared. Was someone offended by my observation of the obvious?

I thought I'd made a post stating "They all taste the same." Perhaps I closed the window before posting it.

It appears to be a case of postitus interruptus
