The Smiths' 1986 Tour Rider: Cheese Sandwiches, Cigs & Red Wine
The Smiths' tour rider from their 1986 U.S. stint surfaced today via Twitter. And like Morrissey, it's hilarious, endearing and puzzling.
The beloved British band, who were touring behind The Queen is Dead at the time, had fairly simple requests... and they were fueled primarily by sandwiches, cigarettes and booze (gin and red wine, to be exact).
Anyone else find it odd that most of the band requested tuna sandwiches? Meat Is Murder?
