I'm trying to compile a list of musicians (of any sort) that are
vegetarian. So far:

B-52's (all vegan)
Michael Jackson
Janet Jackson
Carcass (metal band, all vegan)
Jane Wiedlin
Belinda Carlisle
Crissy (sp?) Hynde
k.d. Lang

there are probably a lot more people I'm forgetting about... So, who
has people to add to the list?

Also, all the guys from the San Francisco industrial band "Consolidated"
are **outspoken** vegetarians (and about everything else, too). They're on
the Nettwerk record label... available at any record store.

Add...

Meat Beat Manifesto (vegan)
Consolidated

also check out the artists on the PETA compilation, which I think was on
the WAX TRAX label; artists include Lena Lovich, Nina Hagen, etc...

Annie Lennox is a vegetarian; so is Boy George. Isn't the fanatic
religious bigot "Cat Stevens" (or whatever he calls himself nowadays) also a
vegetarian?

Vegetarians? Ummm...

Paul McCartney,
John and Gabby of CRO-MAGS,
BTW, not that this is important, but not all of the fellas in CARCASS
are veges...I'm pretty sure Mike Ammott isn't (if that was a big Bratwurst
in his hand last time they were here...)...:-(...but I think Bill, Jeff
and Ken certainly are...

Watch that protein intake.


ObMusic (actually ObVideo): I was really bowled over by Madonna's "Rain"
video, but I'm puzzled by the piecharts. Where they meant to symbolize
the blatant commercial cynicism of Madonna's self-promotional antics,
or do they refer to the manner in which the song was composed?

Linda McCartney has released a whole range of "Linda McCartney" vegetarian
pies, burgers, sausages, etc, in the UK.

Really? How did you find this out?

Another rock musician who was vegetarian at least in the early '80's
is Rick Springfield - incidentally, does anyone know what he's doing
now (serious replies only, please! I remember the last time this
was brought up!) - ie has anyone seen/heard the re-release of
_Comic Book Heroes_?
