Re: Help me understand 'Riders'That apparently was the point of the infamous Van Halen "M&Ms but no brown ones" rider clause. They apparently got tired of major things in their rider being ignored that would then not be discovered until too late so they added something that they could easily check that indicated whether the rider had been read and would be fulfilled. If there were M&Ms backstage and with all the brown ones removed then chances were good that they also got the big stuff right while if the M&Ms weren't there or had the brown ones included then that was an indication to start checking other things.
