Rather interesting...

Very interesting indeed! Gives you a real insight to what the entourage's life
on the road is like.

As far as the "No Dasani" issue, I thought perhaps Al may have something against
the Coca-Cola company, yet Coke and Sprite are indeed requested in the rider.

I did find this theory by "Orthography Enthusiast" on
http://www.weirdalforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=877&st=0

Okay, I've done a little web-surfing (on water, for a change!)

Dasani is tap water as filtered, bottled, and marketed by Coca-Cola. And there's
at least one scurrilous report on the Internet to suggest that their
microbe-eradication efforts are sometimes inadequate.

Maybe now we know where Al found part of his creative inspiration:

What I want to know is (other than the fact that Al doesn't eat cheese, but you
can make it vegan style), what's he got against lasagna??? (Avoiding turkey
makes sense - you don't want the tryptophan to put everyone to sleep.)
