larry bagina writes "It's no secret that rock stars have riders — provisions on their contractual appearances that require a bowl of brown-free M&Ms or specify the exact brand of bottled water, cocaine purity, etc. Well, Richard Stallman has his own quirky list of provisions."

Please just do not bring it up," and "One situation where I do not need help, let alone supervision, is in crossing streets.

Please just leave me alone when I cross streets."
