    The problem with two women in bed is you always tap the one you are the most attracted to and ignore the other one. I would have mounted Stevie Nicks but I would let Bonnie Rait fondle my balls for added effect.

    Not necessarily. When you're hard as a rock & you look at the other one lying there, you feel the need, nay, the URGE to do the other one as well.

    And when they kiss...

    Made me think how damn healthy all that food actually looked for a marauding bucnh of rock'n'rollers. No beer in the crew room until 6pm!

    Who knows what kind of illegal substances were doing the rounds backstage, etc., but the band an all those travelling with them were pretty well-catered for - healthy foods mostly, and not as much booze as you'd expect (although I noted the greater quantity of Shlitz in the band room as compared to the alternatives).

    Clearly, my unhealthy lifestyle throws this into relief ...

    Yeah. The brussel sprouts caught my attention and that pickeled herring has to be a Dutch thing.

    I was a temporary hire for VH in 1984 and I remember a local Italian resturaunt bringing in food for the band. I guess Alex eats pasta before the show to build up energy for two hours of drumming. I'm not a vegitarian but like to avoid processed meat so I often will order vegitarian. I love the Pizza Hut vegitarian pizza.

    Herring in sour cream must have been for Dave, it's a popular item at Kosher delis.
    When the shit hits the fan, close your mouth and duck.

    It pays to keep the crew fed with healthy food. Sick crew members make loss of production, which = loss of $$$

    Brown M&Ms story is the stuff of legend. First it was just VH being cheeky, then DLR said it was in middle of technical/electrical needs for each show and it helped them gauge if venue really read contract. Somewhere in between actually, at least on this tour.

    I forgot about these, Gene $trikes again...but no brown ones! Do you dare put these backstage for VH?


    Also is there any connection between no brown M&Ms and the fabled VH "brown sound"?

    My parents used to go to a Scandinavian smorgasbord place when I was a kid. Pickled herring is a staple in Norway. Never with sour creme.

    You are dealing with moving lot's of heavy equipment around. It's dangerous and people can get hurt rigging the lights and sound system real easy. Hands and fingers can get caught in the winches, you can even fall off of the stage, risers, or scaffolding. It's long hours and hard work actually. Not to mention if the sound system or lights fail or the show is canceled it can cause people to mass riot. LOL!
