It's an interesting article. That said, it's funny, considering how things have progressed over the past decades, CSNY and Joni Mitchell's riders almost seem quaint. Two bottles of a very popular wine and an extra limo? Puh-leese. Also I'm not convinced the brown M&M sitch wasn't how Roth explained it. Sure, BTO added the tutti-frutti ice cream just as a precaution, and was negotiable about it. I have a feeling Van Halen encountered more craven promoters, bigger a-holes, someone who broke that trust. From then on the brown M&Ms were not mere red flags for venues. They were de rigueur.
