The main idea of my blog will be to discuss topics from my Entertainment Law class. But I will also “critique” celebrity riders, because let’s face it they are funny as hell. That being said, Elton John evidently likes his nuts unsalted…I may also invite some of my friends who are artists to post how they feel about their work with regards to copyrights.
The portions of my blog that “critiques” riders is meant to be http://maddox.xmission.com/ (Crappy Children’s Art) meets http://www.thesmokinggun.com/backstagetour/index.html The Smoking Gun’s Backstage.
First up…Clay Aiken. This rider is from 2004 before he was the megastar he is today. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/backstagetour/clay/clay1.html
How can I not? It is almost too easy. First off his list of foods he wants in his dressing room reads like a grocery list from a trailer park. White Wonder bread, grape jelly, Doritos, etc. And his dinners have annoying theme nights: American night, Mexican night, and on Sundays he wants a full turkey dinner with all the fixings. Why doesn’t his tour manager just add “Like Grandma used to make”??? Time to grow-up Clay, this is not summer camp and theme nights aren’t cute. But let’s get serious. Clay is allergic to nuts, mushrooms, coffee, mint, chocolate and shellfish. A life without coffee and chocolate would be hell; it would be like…being Clay Aiken.

>>Clay is allergic to nuts.
Seriously?
Maybe it’s a North Carolina thing. I went to high school in Raleigh, and my mom had Taco Salad night. Of course, she used the cheap Winn-Dixie chips that either cut your mouth when you ate them or instantly sogged-up when they lightly brushed a piece of lettuce. ahhh, memories.
