Oh to be young...

While I make no effort to hide my enjoyment of Ryan Adams' musical prowess, if this Smoking Gun report is to be believed, then he, like most professional musicians, have specific and sometimes very expensive (Jay-Z) requests for their dressing rooms, after show areas and even their buses.

For example, Ryan likes to have a "clean, working tea kettle," a white unscented candle and an ashtray for pregame (nothing too out of the ordinary there), but demands "3 cans of diet 7 up," a jar of honey, "various boxes of organic instant noodles and soup," a bottle of Listerine and 6 pairs of men's athletic socks for the after party.

Certainly not hating on Jay-Z, but my comment above was in regards to his requirement of 2x bottles of "$300 champagne," 2x bottles of $200 wine and, among other things, a $400,000 Maybach sedan to use while he is in your town.
