The Smoking Gun - This site posts excerpts from the backstage riders of a bunch of performers. The documents include specifications on stage design, sound systems, lighting rigs, as well as an artist’s wish list–from transportation and billing to dressing room accommodations and meals.

Some of the artist’s personal requests are a bit bizarre. J. Lo requires her dressing room to be all white: white flowers, white tables, white drapes, white candles, white couches, etc. Whereas the New Kids on the Block asked that parents and relatives be charged for doughnuts and coffee. Eddie Vedder makes his own smoothies before the show. Snoop Dog’s request labeled “VERY IMPORTANT” is to have a complete playstation with various sports games from 1999.

The site has a bunch of other stuff as well. Interesting for someone who has absolutely nothing else to do online.
