Mick Jagger was firing up Jumpin' Jack Flash onstage last year as a van pulled into the loading dock of the Gaylord Entertainment Center.
Mick's contract specified that any food not eaten by his band and crew be donated to a needy Nashville organization. And so it came to be that 700 pounds of fettuccini Alfredo with grilled chicken was loaded up and driven straight away to Samaritan Ministries.
It was just routine for Nashville's Table, an organization that ''rescues'' perfectly good, already prepared food that would otherwise be dumped in the trash.
''We've served the homeless population of this city some awesome meals,'' said Brian Diller, executive director. ''We're rescuing food from a much sadder end.''
They pick up and deliver 2 million pounds of food a year. This is not uneaten leftovers from a buffet table. It's not stale. It's simply unused food from catered events, restaurants, universities, hospitals and such.
''We take food that's never had a spoon in it,'' said Charlotte Avant, director of development. ''If you've got something prepared at home, we're not able to take it.''

Cool story! It's nice to see that the Stones have put a few generous clauses in their contract. And they don't make a big deal of it, since we've only heard about it a year after, and from an article on the charity organization, apparently.
