Vegetarian Star

Billy Corgan opened his tea shop in Chicago today. Madame ZuZu’s is said to be a spot for all ages to enjoy good drinks, music, art and live performances.

Corgan interviewed with Gothamist when the subject of Madame Zuzu’s vegan food came up.

Here are a few highlights from the interview.

I think I read that you were only doing vegan food there?
Vegan dessert. Sugar-free vegan dessert.

Are you a vegan?
No, I really want to be but I’m also anemic so it’s really difficult for me to be vegan. I just get so weary.

I think Jonathan Ames once said, “In my heart I’m a vegan but my mouth lacks discipline” or something like that.
[laughs] I really want to stop being a carnivore. I really, honestly would like to get to a place where I’m not having any negative impact on the animal kingdom. But I don’t know how to survive, especially on tour.

Veganism is hard. I’ve been a vegetarian for 20 years but I could never be vegan.
Vegan in Germany is like, are you kidding me? They look at you like, “What?”

At least while in Zuzu’s Corgan can be a vegan dessert lover.
