Aaah...To be privileged!

Have you ever heard of a rider? It is a contract that follows an artisit or celebrity and establishes their requirements for an appearance or a show.

It's just amazing to me some of the things they put into them! Of course they do it because they can!! I just wanted to share some of the information...

It reminds me of the movie Airheads...when they make all those stupid demands like the naked pic of Bea Arthur!! If I ever become famous and have a rider I think I will require that everyone around me can only wear the color LIME GREEN. Everyone MUST address me as "Oh Superior One", and I may only eat foods that begin with the letter "Q"!!
