Had heard that story along with a load of others about musician's "riders" from my then flat mate who was a drummer - but never realised that was the reason for it.
Reminds me of a job where I had to get on a flat roof of a converted warehouse in London Docklands where there was a 3m balcony around the building for the top floor apartments. I'm still of the age where if I hurt myself doing something stupid its no one else's fault but my own - and that the same should apply to everyone. Hence I was rather miffed at having to write a risk assessment for the management company to go up there to confirm something ahead of a project... The writing of this thing would take longer than the trip onto the roof.
So I decided to have some fun and wrote all sorts of things in there along the lines of "shall access the roof paying all due care and attention to ill tempered low flying seagulls and the urge to take a running jump".
It was obvious this was never read as I got the go ahead; and was ironically nearly knocked out by the heavy roof hatch as one of the gas struts had failed and it fell on my head. Something I didn't mention checking LOL.
