However, all colors of M&Ms are allowed back stage
I know her; she wants coordinated M&Ms.
By the way, just for the record (hey! that's a recording of hers!), she was threatened with extinction by the PLO at her Central Park Concert in 1967, which ended her live appearance career for about twenty-five years. She now claims it was because she forgot her lyrics but that was the scuttlebutt at the time...that may be why she wants security.
You know, they get a bad rap for that m&m thing...but their explanation was that they just didn't want to work too hard, so if they walked into a venue and there was a bowl of m&ms sans brown ones...they knew that their rider had been followed to the letter.
Pretty darn smart if you ask me.
