Vegetarian Star

A few days ago, you learned how Nellie Mckay thinks being a vegan is a pain in the ass. While she doesn’t speak for everyone, there are other musicians that agree it’s not always easy to eat well while on tour. Andrew McMahon of Jack’s Mannequin, and Something Corporate, both piano rock bands out of California, decided to go veg for his most recent tour. He admits he’s no food “saint.”

“It’s still a rock and roll tour, there’s an element of unhealthy living but I think truthfully like, especially considering what, you know that I got sick while I was in the middle of a tour, you know I try my best,” he said.

“We don’t finish a night and get plastered every other night, you know what I mean? But we’re not saints either. Actually I became a vegetarian during this tour, which is a hard battle to fight. But I try and go to the gym three times a week and work out every morning, push ups and sit ups and do my best to eat out. You’ll have a day where it’s pizza all day and then you’ll have a day like okay I’ve got to tailor it back. You just gotta, you learn to walk a line out here.”
