.ALL ARTIST'S HAVE RIDERS.

boring

Ain't that just like a vegan. Eatin nothin' but Salsa.

justlikethesun said:

What??? No one to come in and Wipe "the Artists" ass????
What kind of a Rider is this?????
LOL!!!!!

I cant believe i read the whole thing! God, im bored

Anyone ntice something weird? On page 7, the text at the bottom, about butane gas is written in the Purple rain font "nikki" dontcha think?

And he aint no vegan with all that milk and cream cheese and butter

but no meat? protein? im starving just looking at the lack of solid foods!

This list is so basic and not stupid like only green M&M's in a bowl it looks like what any performer would need for energy and comfort... PRINCE gets brownie points 4 that but organic brownies

dunkin or krispy kreme donuts?
i guess chance has finally digested RAD

this looks like a combination of an old rider and the new. i've seen parts of this a couple years ago.

Very True.

I was on this website a week ago reading information about Anthony Anderson and I noticed the riders.

The beginning part is from the Musicology Tour while the other pages are from the rider that was already on the website.

He like his kleenex doesnt he

What is a B-12 shot that the doctor administers?

rockdafro said:

It's an injection of the vitamin B-12.

Here is a site that explains what people might get B12 shots for and who might need them:
http://familydoctor.org/765.xml

Some people also believe that B12 shots give you a superboost of energy. I've always thought that's why Prince allegedly gets them before performances but who knows

Man, that's what I'm talking about. I'm moving into Prince's dressing room. Pita and hummus. . .ginger ale. . .cranberry juice. . .

You can tell I haven't had dinner, I'm reading the rider like a menu.

Its a shot that some claim gives them energy.
My good friends husband is a doctor.. they live in Minneapolis..
A few years back he was doing a show at the Target Center.. well my friends hubby was on call at the Hospital and they sent HIM there to give Prince his shot!!! My friend got to come along and they got GOOD seats to the show.. She sent me the back stage pass, and the ticket stub! :O)
My friend said she got to go in to Princes Dressing room.. but she was not allowed to go up to Prince, or talk to him.. and then after her husband have him the shot they were allowed to eat from the HUGE buffett table that was there.. Her husband said he was VERY nervous giving Prince the shot.. but he said Prince was polite..
Damn.. I should of married a Doctor instead of a Laywer!!!!!

In all seriousness, do you know if they administer these shots in the arm or the buttocks?

I wouldn't wanna be the one having to stick a needle into Prince's famous backside!

HEY U GOT TO GO IN HIS DRESSING ROOM COOL

He doesn't eat meat, but he needs animal proteins from milk & stuff

justlikethesun said:

Demanding is right! I always hate reading TSG stuff. I sometimes delude myself into thinking that, if Prince is going to pretend to be a Jehovah Witness, he would live like one. These demands would have Jesus rolling in his grave. If Jesus had a grave and if he felt like rolling.

Excessive. Prince sings about people starving. He knows what's going on/wrong with this world. He could give up a LITTLE bit of the excessive demands he makes and donate it to charity. Half that food gets thrown out anyway (if the homeless would eat it).

Luv & Peace,

Clubbin' in Mpls/A Night w. Prince

Seems quite a normal list, thing that stuck out for me was the

3 Large trash cans in Princes dressing room

I am saddened that Prince is a Pepsi man and not a Coca Cola drinker. What's wrong with him?

PREDOMINANT said:

I thought that was odd too. How much trash can one person generate in just a few hours?

This rider was not nearly as diva esque and demanding as some others i've seen. After all he coud've sent people scurrying around for some organically dyed purple toilet paper (or something equally as ridiculous) if he wanted to.

Dang, whose gonna drink all that water?
No wonder they need 17 dozen towels
Gotta soak it all up
