    that is funny. i would be real annoyed with myself if i was that needy/demanding/precious

    i got a well booked dj friend who doesnt party at all on tour, strictly bizness. but he was telling me that he always works a couple very fancy bottles of booze onto a rider..old scotches and shit...that he brings back to his ever expanding wine and booze cellar. thats where im heading when the apocalypse hits

    So many things to call out here, but I'll just start with this: "Steve's vocals" constitute a quarter of the show? The fuck? Is he a rapper now or something?

    Sounds reasonable to me. The other 75% is Steve's confetti and Steve's dingie (sic).

    Can someone explain the 6 socks/6 briefs/3 v-neck thing? I imagine him bringing a half-dozen twinks back to the hotel after the show and having some kind of shirts vs. skins match, but could it be something else?

    Euroman Science comment:

    8 feet is not 2 metres, nor is 5 feet 1 metre.

    Perhaps the grass isn't a great idea.

    You folks know that there's a long tradition of making ridiculous riders as jokes (and publicity stunts), right?

    The weirdest thing on there to me are the kung fu cakes?
    Soft cake, batches, not bundt!

    The clothes, etc. I took for something they can change into coming right off stage? Or for their roadies maybe.

    Tragically, I don't think this is one of them.

    Yeah, apart from the lack of spatial awareness and the weak recreational sailing vessel game, this one is pretty run-of-the-mill.

    OK. But do you need to get a new one for every show?

    Oh, for fuck's sake.

    The temptation to puncture Superstar Steve's dinghy (and Steve) must be pretty overwhelming. I think they probably get through a few.

    Nah, the socks, undies and shirts are in the hotel section of the rider, so those items are supposed to be placed in his hotel suite.

    Not sure if it's just me, but doesn't it seem like Steve is betraying his lineage by not demanding a full hibachi-style setup in the greenroom? It's onion dome or go home! And, yes, riding around in such a disposable watercraft, even if it's away from an actual body of water, does reek of new money.

    Fair enough.

    I still think the dingie is fucking preposterous, though.
