The Foos: Feed us right

The Web site Smoking Gun got hold of a Foo Fighter's tour rider. There's lots of wry, sarcastic and funny stuff buried in it, like: "Fat roadies have to eat immediately so they can being their arduous 70- to 90-minute work day!" And this about chicken breasts: "I cannot tell you how many times in catering all over the world I have seen island after tiny island of chicken boobs floating in a mercury like sauce that gets pawned off as a $13 (US) entree.. This is not a diss to lunch rooms and the genus of the tater tot  or the surly lunch lady per se. It's just a thought."

The Foos come to Kemper Arena on July 19. Looks like the floor is sold out and the first level is close. A request for a single ticket, "best seat" got me one in Row E, Sec. 114, which is back in the bowl, farthest from the stage.
