“Well we know it wasn’t brown M&Ms.”
In an interview several years ago Eddie said the brown M&M thing was just to see how far they could go and get away with it.
Pretty far it seems.
What I heard it was to make sure they actually read the Safety Riders.
If there were brown M&Ms, the band would be alerted to see what else was not followed in the contract.
