The story about the infamous rider contract with Van Halen and David Lee Roth about brown M&M's is quite high larious. To get the tale told with eloquent sarcasm by the creator is even better. The devil is in the details, especially when it comes to show productions and this can make or break an event. I have seen many contracts that asked for hookers, cocaine, chocolate panties, deli trays to all known varieties of beverages, but without a doubt, mention the word M&M's and Van Halen is forever remembered.
