BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Crow calls for limit on loo paper
Last year I was wondering what the breakup of Lance and Sheryl was all about, now I'm starting to get an idea. In her latest publically released epiphany, she says that we need to limit ourselves to one square of toilet paper per event. Say what???? I don't know if she craps like a rabbit, but first off that just ain't gonna work, and second off, how the hell is that idea going to save the planet? (Playing along for a moment that global warming is man made, which it isn't.)
Crow has suggested using "only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required".
"I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming," Crow wrote.
"Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating.
"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."
She's worried about our wastefulness, guess that is the point of the TP idea, she also wants to do away with paper napkins, after all we have an overabundance of water to wash the messy cloth ones.
Crow has also commented on her website about how she thinks paper napkins "represent the height of wastefulness".
She has designed a clothing line with what she calls a "dining sleeve".
The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve" after the diner has used it to wipe his or her mouth.
I guess she's just trying to help us, but my thought is, (Just like Al Gore), before you come knocking to tell me how I should be living to save the planet, you might want to get your own life in order.
When it comes to Sheryl Crow's touring requirements, if it's Tuesday, this must be Bombay. Gin that is. The rock star's performance contract includes specific day-to-day instructions on what kind of booze Sheryl needs in her dressing room (TSG has never seen such attention to detail in any other concert rider we've posted). For each show, Crow requires 12 bottles of Grolsch beer, 6 bottles of "local" beer, and a bottle each of "good Australian Cabernet" and "good Merlot." As for the harder stuff, promoters are directed to purchase specific booze depending on what day of the week the concert falls, as the below rider excerpt reveals. Additionally, when the global warming warrior hits the road, her touring entourage (and equipment) travels in three tractor trailers, four buses, and six cars. Now that's a carbon footprint!
As a side note Rosie O'Donnell weighed in on the pooh paper pontification. Rosie to Sheryl Crow....."Have you seen my ass?" Well speaking for myself, thankfully, no.
