Quantcast Vegetarian StarJohnny Marr Says Portland Is So Overtly Vegan (Video)

Johnny Marr is not the first celebrity to comment on how great Portland is for vegetarians.

The former Smiths singer said the city is so “overtly vegan,” and that’s one of the reasons why he’s spent so much time there.

Marr told Pitchfork:

“It’s a town that’s so overtly vegan, where people can be artists whether they’re good or not, and where the people who are working behind the bar might be a bass player in some kind of band. Those kind of things are better than being in a lot of cities! Some cities are really boring and straight. Don’t get me wrong, I think “Portlandia” is really funny, and quite brilliant, but I like to be in a city where I can hang out in Powell’s Bookstore most nights and go out with my friends in a liberal, relaxed atmosphere. I wish more cities were like that.”
