What is the brown M&M theory?
Based on the absurd entry in Van Halen’s hospitality rider that stated there should be no brown M&M’s, this theory is a known industry standard. On large tours with lots of heavy equipment and pyrotechnics, an easy test to see if the venue is paying attention to the details is to put something absurd and specific in the hospitality rider.
