MY band's rider:

Dressing Room:

Should resemble, exactly, the Simpson's living room. It should, if at 
all possible, actually *be* a cartoon. There should be a Catholic 
priest, a Southern Baptist Minister and a Zen Buddhist monk; they should 
be mud-wrestling to desicde whose religion is the Real Deal.

Catering and Sundry Supplies:

360 Atomic Fireballs
1 Vegan Cow
1 regular, actual cow
Equipment for the butchering of both
A propane-powered grill for the cooking of the above
Ronnie James Dio or Steve Walsh to do the grilling
100,000 blue M&Ms
Eminem to serve them
A gag for Eminem, to keep his filthy mouth shut
1 Free Will Baptist, to whom I will be constantly giving orders
1 Calvinist, who will be required to do whatever comes to his mind
The cast of Lord of the Rings, and the cast of Harry Potter, to meet in 
battle.
Twelve iPods. That's right. *Twelve*. And twelve Hillary Rosens to hold 
them and apologise, profusely.
Ellen Feiss.

The concept "anti-American" is an interesting one. The counterpart is 
used only in totalitarian states or military dictatorships. Thus, in the 
old Soviet Union, dissidents were condemned as "anti-Soviet." That's a 
natural usage among people with deeply rooted totalitarian instincts, 
which identify state policy with the society, the people, the culture. 
In contrast, people with even the slightest concept of democracy treat 
such notions with ridicule and contempt. Suppose someone in Italy who 
criticizes Italian state policy were condemned as "anti-Italian." It 
would be regarded as too ridiculous even to merit laughter. Maybe under 
Mussolini, but surely not otherwise.
