Yes Simon, I do actually know what the words “on stage” mean in context together; however, why would they want food, like celery and Crunchy granola bars, on stage with them?

Why not? You’re running around onstage for hours. Maybe you’d enjoy a nice snack. Unless asking for celery means Eddie isn’t a drunk?

Now what’s really amusing is the clause that dressing room #1(DLR) be far away from #2(EVH) and #4(WVH). Or how about the request that in lieu of bus stock they want $125/day?

In Massachusetts, though, it’s 3-Buck Chuck for some reason. The extra buck is probably state taxes to pay for the healthcare of all the drunks around here.

And I’m with everyone else here on the Gallo – if you’re gonna fall off the wagon, Eddie, at least do it clutching the good stuff.

I’m not sure what on stage entails

I’d think it would entail being on the stage. As opposed to behind it. Each guy had his own cooler onstage, and his own dressing room, with specific items demanded for each.

But I suppose it’s possible that the guy whose alcoholism threatened to derail the tour altogether never really drank the booze listed in his contract, to be provided specifically for him, specifically onstage. Maybe he was being sarcastic.

You could pretend you’re John Lee Hooker or Howlin’ Wolf or something while you drink it. That’d actually be kinda cool.

I’m sorry, but where on that list did it say the wine was for him?

It’s for his personal onstage cooler.
