Keith Richards Passes Out, Hits Head On The Caps-Lock Button

The Smoking Gun has updated its tour-riders section, and once again, the Rolling Stones prove that no one can top them when it comes to backstage bacchanalia. Check out these verbatim demands:

PLEASE FIND OUT WHAT CHANNEL IS SHOWING CRICKET. THAT IS THE CHANNEL WE NEED MOST OF ALL. I BELIEVE DIRECT T.V. HAS THE CHANNEL WE NEED. WE WILL USE OUR OWN TV AND VCR.

And:

TEMPURATURE, HEATING AND AIR FLOW ARE VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE INFORM ME OF WHAT THE VENUE PROVIDES. THAT MEANS WHAT IS ARCHITECTURALLY PRE-EXISITING! I WANT TO KNOW HOW AND FROM WHERE THE CLIMATE IS CONTROLLED AND WHO CONTROLS IT.

Is it just us, or do these read as if they were written by a squad of cranky British robots? Either way, click below to read the most intimidating floral request of all time.
