Sheryl Crow's Backstage List & Carbon Footprint (Hypocrisy From Toilet Paper Diva!!!)

The Smoking Gun ^ | April 23, 2007

When it comes to Sheryl Crow's touring requirements, if it's Tuesday, this must be Bombay. Gin that is. The rock star's performance contract includes specific day-to-day instructions on what kind of booze Sheryl needs in her dressing room (TSG has never seen such attention to detail in any other concert rider we've posted). For each show, Crow requires 12 bottles of Grolsch beer, 6 bottles of "local" beer, and a bottle each of "good Australian Cabernet" and "good Merlot." As for the harder stuff, promoters are directed to purchase specific booze depending on what day of the week the concert falls, as the below rider excerpt reveals. Additionally, when the global warming warrior hits the road, her touring entourage (and equipment) travels in three tractor trailers, four buses, and six cars. Now that's a carbon footprint!

“typical liberal Do as I say, not as a I do.”

They don’t have to...

They buy Carbon Credit Absolution from The Goracle!
Jeesh! Didn’t you get the memo?????

[Hemingway's Ghost]

I agree. Most beers in green bottles taste kind of skunky to me.

Light is beer's enemy. Green bottles don't protect the beer from the light as well as brown bottles do, so that may be the source of some skunkiness, though . . .

Grolsch and Heineken both use a certain type of hop, Hallertau I believe, to produce that sort of flavor.

Well I saw the Fair Warning Tour before Jump at Madison Square Garden. Who knew that would be the height of their success. Back then they could destroy a room due to brown M&Ms being in the room. They were nuts then. Who knew it would get so sad to today.

I miss the old VH.

And back then there was certainly lots of things passed around.

Limbaugh says he has two, and never figured out how to use either of them. "They were put in when I didn't have a choice..."

And, a caller said that "Of course Rove didn't want Sheryl Crow touching him. He saw her come out of the ladies room..."

[AngelesCrestHighway]

I’d NEVER play “pull my finger” with her!

[Paleo Conservative]

She’s must be ‘nasty’ down there! uuugh

Here's another tread.

And be using her finger instead of on square of tp.

[conservative blonde]

And be using her finger instead of one square of tp.

[rabidralph]

She’s not a hypocrite if one square of TP is all she really spends on backside hygiene. Booze seems to be the priority here. Ugh! Can you imagine dating this woman and being reminded constantly that she is never really clean?

[Holicheese]

I can see her getting bombed by TP rolls at all her shows!

[Little Bill]

I drank gallons of Grolsch when my brother was home brewing, waste not, want not.

[listenhillary]

Why do you think the call us the Soggy Bottom Boys! Cheryl's a durned Johnny come lately to this trend! Cheap ho..

[listenhillary]

TP the tour buses...

[Holicheese]

What would cheerleaders do to the QBs house if they were only allowed to use one piece of toilet paper?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

She’s just raising a big stink because she fears the human race may be wiped out.

[SuziQ]

wait..she didn’t mean SHE was going to use one square..SHE can use all she wants, it’s the little people who have to use one square..

Exactly! She's too important a person to have to be held to the same standards as the little people.

[bootless]

Yeah, well, the reason she thinks we need just one square is because when *she’s* in the bathroom, it comes out inlittle pink satin-wrapped packages...

[Enchante]

"Ugh! Can you imagine dating this woman and being reminded constantly that she is never really clean?"

This may be why Karl Rove recoiled when Sheryl Crow touched his arm at the WH Correspondents' Dinner!! There is a vile account by Laurie David in the equally vile Puffington Post (cannot be linked here) claiming that Rove was running away from confrontation with Crow -- maybe he'd heard about her low-TP lifestyle and didn't like the idea of her touching him!!!

[CholeraJoe]

Will her next tour be called the “Smell The Hand” tour?

Spinal Tap did that in 1984 except it was called "Smell the Glove."
