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.

Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan is finally opening his much talked about tea shop in the Chicago suburbs.

Madame Zuzu’s will welcome all ages on Thursday, September 13 at 8:00 a.m., serving as a “social hub for the community, blending tea drinkers with the arts,” states Broadway World.

“I’m a tea guy and living in Highland Park since 2003, I’ve always wanted to open a salon like this for everyone to enjoy,” describes Corgan. “This is a place with no age boundaries. We hope to attract everyone from young students to seniors. With a blend of music, photo galleries, art displays and speakers, I think Madame ZuZu’s offers something for everyone.”

Lynyrd Skynyrd band members discussed their favorite BBQ spots during an interview with FUSE.

Guitarist Rickey Medlocke said, “You gotta understand something: There’s different BBQ for different sections of the South. Texas has their own kind, Memphis has their own kind, Florida has their own kind, and the Carolinas, too.”

So which part of the South has the best vegetarian BBQ? Johnny van Zant‘s daughter would probably know.

Tommy Lee is no longer interested in hearing about the sex lives of the whales at SeaWorld. He just wants to make sure his music isn’t being played while they’re getting it on.

In a letter to John T. Reilly, President of SeaWorld San Diego, Lee asks that the marine park not play any Motley Crue music during any of its “Shamu Rocks” shows.

“Although we like to torture the human fans who willingly come to our shows, we don’t want to be a part of making innocent animals’ lives hellish,” writes Lee. “I’ve learned from my friends at PETA that these marine animals are very sensitive to sound, as they communicate by sonar, and loud noises mess with their most basic instincts and drive them more nuts than they already are when trapped in your tanks.”

“It’s the clean lifestyle. I’m a vegan and I work out. That’s pretty much it, really. If you keep the juices flowing, if you keep the blood flowing and you keep active and don’t put poison in your system, you can be rewarded. There’s no silver bullet or magic pill. It’s just looking after yourself.”

—Phil Collen from Def Leppard in an interview with Penn Live.

A classic rock band with a catchy tour name is the perfect way to educate about conserving the Earth’s ecosystems.

That’s the idea Sea Shepherd had when it decided to join Steven Tyler and the rest of the Aerosmith band for a few select tour dates.

During the month of August, members from the Sea Shepherd crew will be present at a table during the shows, available to discuss everything on protecting and conserving the oceans.

See below for the dates where you’ll find Sea Shepherd doing some Amazing work.
