Coolio Plays For Cash, Chicken

According to The Boombox:

Nineties rapper Coolio has been hired to play a small venue in Colorado for "$3,000, a bucket of chicken and a bottle of Patron (he likes the Silver variety)" according to the show's booker. The concert will be held on Sept. 6 at "The Deli Zone" a restaurant in Longmont, whose local paper hails the performance as "the city's first celebrity performance in recent memory."

"Where's Longmont at?" Coolio is quoted as saying, in response to being asked by the Longmont Times-Call if he'd ever been to visit the city.

I'd consider adding a bottle of Jergens and some ChapStick to that rider.

You guys are going to make fun of his rider? Leave him alone.

The beauty of the story is that you can pick your punchline: Coolio is playing at a deli, the promoter felt compelled to disclose that a bucket of chicken is on the rider, someone is paying Coolio to do anything, Coolio has never heard of where he is playing, Coolio needs moisturizer, etc. This post is really like the proverbial onion.
