Rock Star riders. By now, you’ve all read Iggy’s rider. And you probably already know that Van Halen’s rider no longer excludes brown M&M’s. The ones below might make you wonder “why?” or, make you wish you had a rider too. Like Peter Gabriel’s…

Even this tattoo of Peter Gabriel looks relaxed.

Peter Gabriel’s rider includes the words “do Peter”. Where does Cherrybomb sign up? Anyway, Gabriel is very specific when it comes to this request in his rider:

A female; Must have a relaxing/deep muscle massage in a hippy style!!! Must be ready to DO Peter at 6:20pm for 1 hour.”

And who could blame Peter for this one. Hippie Chicks Rule.

Trent Reznor tattoo. For Wonder Woman.

Trent Reznor’s rider doesn’t specify much. What Reznor’s rider does specify puzzles me:

Two (2) boxes of cornstarch.

Is Trent making pudding? Oobleck? Damn you Trent Reznor! Why must you be so mysterious?

Perry Farrell and his wife Etty Lau on the cover of Farrell’s Satellite Party from 2007.

Perry Farrell’s rider is pretty straight forward. Farrell’s request doesn’t confuse me like Trent’s above. And quite frankly, I’m a little disappointed:

Two (2) Packages of Zig-Zag rolling papers in the orange package.

What did you expect? Monkey’s, Jack Daniels and a sex-swing? Yeah, me too. Oh well. It’s still more tempting that Trent’s corn starch.

Okay. I’ll see you all tomorrow for Get The Fuck Out and at The Tractor tomorrow night for The Surf Coasters. Until then, try to tear yourself away from the devil box. That shit will kill you…

Sarah Palin at the Republican National Convention, September 3rd, 2008.

I know I’ve seen this somewhere before. I just can’t put my finger on it…wait a minute. That’s it. Phew, I feel so much better now. Anyway, I’m with Gloria Steinem on this one. The only thing Sarah Palin has in common with Cherrybomb is a chromosome.

You darn kids better get off my lawn.

…and since Simmons turned 59 last month, his appearance at this weekends AARP Expo makes perfect sense. Simmons will be the keynote speaker at AARP’s Life at 50, Staying Sharp Expo in Washington, D.C. The Expo starts today and runs through September 6th. Other speakers include Judy Collins, Shirley MacLaine and Republican mouthpiece, Tucker Carlson.

Strangely, Simmons is not the oldest member of KISS. That honor belongs to KISS drummer Peter Criss who will turn 64 in December.
