Van Halen

While Van Halen no longer asks to have the brown M&M's removed from the backstage candy bowl (they now seem to prefer peanut butter cups), the group's booze list remains a thing to behold--from tequila ("the best you've got!") to Jack Daniel's (Black Label) to Bacardi Anejo rum. And that backstage celery ("to be trimmed, but not peeled") seems to serve a dual purpose--as an ingredient for organic vegetable juice drinks and as a Bloody Mary component. (4 pages)
