Moby explains why his concert rider demands "10 pairs of white cotton crew socks and 10 cotton boxer shorts": "Oh underpants!...Yeah, but it's not for me. It's for everybody on my tour. When I travel, there's like 12 of us on tour, and a lot of time, you're too busy to go shopping for socks and underpants...'Cause, you know, jeans you can wear for a week straight...T-shirts you can always get, 'cause you're selling T-shirts, but socks and underpants are really hard to come by...No, I don't have a underpants fetish." Suuuure. That's what they all say.
