Riders tell you everything about a tour.
Sometimes it’s normal. Towels. Drinks. Snacks.
Sometimes it’s Sammy Kershaw wanting an 8x10 framed photo of Bugs Bunny in his dressing room. Not a joke. In a frame.
Then came the monkey requests.
One band kicked off the legendary M&M era of rider stories, but the “monkey in the dressing room” request had everyone scrambling. No idea what to do. So Max grabbed his kid’s Curious George and set it up backstage. Problem solved.
Hank needed a monkey too. Stuffed one brought from home.
And yes, there was even a request for a Satanic Bible. That one wasn’t a prank. That was about proving you actually read the rider.
That’s the key.
Advance the show. Get on the phone. Ask the right questions. “What do you need?” If you don’t ask, you don’t know. Riders aren’t just about weird items. They’re about professionalism.
For years Oklahoma City was a gas stop. If you wanted artists to respect the market, you handled the details. Every detail.
Even if that meant finding Bugs Bunny at the last minute.
