Vegetarian Star

Fred Schneider of the B-52s hooked up with Noah Brodie and Dan Marshall to form The Superions in 2006.

Their latest song, Who Threw That Ham At Me, has Schneider, Brodie and Marshall disagreeing on what makes a good meal.

“Who doesn’t love a juicy, fatty, salty, canned ham covered in pineapple slices and those red dye #2 cherries?” said Marshall, in an interview with Music Remedy.

“I don’t” said Schneider. “I’m a vegetarian.”

“Where’s the sweet potatoes with marshmallows?” asked Brodie.

Can’t blame Scheidner for turning down an entree of pig and artificial coloring.

But sweet potatoes and marshmallows sound great, as long as those marshmallows are the vegan kind like Sweet and Sara or Dandies.

In case you didn’t already think eating meat is close to criminal, the idea for Who Threw That Ham At Me makes the case even more believable as Schneider says the song is all about shoplifting.

“It’s based on a true story someone told someone I know,” he said.

“I saw a woman in a movie stick a big steak down her pants” added Noah.

Whether or not meat causes crime rates to increase has yet to be determined.

The Superions self titled EP on Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records is available through iTunes.

Traveling to a foreign country is exciting, but challenging.

In between recovering from jet lag and studying the “How To Learn X Language” book in the car, there’s barely enough time to find good food.

AFI‘s Davey Havok says he had a problem eating vegan in London, but not due to lack of food establishments.

“I figured there would be lots of vegetarian restaurants out there, and there are Indian restaurants and there are a few vegetarian restaurants,” Havok told Vancouver’s Straight. “It’s just that they’re not good. It’s still British.”

Ouch!

Don’t offend any vegan British fans there, Dave.

They probably already know where to get good meatless grub like falafel at Hummus Bros or the seitan stroganoff at the 222 Veggie/Vegan.

The best things in life are free and educational.

That’s why Paul McCartney put a copy of his narrated PETA DVD, Glass Walls in each of the presenters and nominees bags at the Golden Globes, according to Contact Music.

The video provides an inside look of the meat industry.

“I’ve often said, ‘If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian,” McCartney said.

“Animals raised on modern factory farms and killed in slaughterhouses endure almost unimaginable suffering. I hope that once you see the routine cruelty involved in raising, transporting, and killing animals for food, you’ll join the millions of people who have decided to leave meat off their plates – for good.”

Could McCartney convert some Golden Globe attendees?

“ok, so sarah palin is releasing a book. and it’s filled with some insightful, thoughtful gems, like: ‘here’s my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?”

“the problem, of course, being that other things are also made out of meat. like, well, people. and doggies and kitties. and cute little human babies. so if we follow your logic, mrs palin, you are actually suggesting that god intended for us to eat humans and dogs and cats and human babies, as these things are all technically made out of meat. i’m not even being swiftian, i’m just exposing sarah palin’s thoughts to some simple logic. which might be problematic, as she is also the person who once talked about looking out her window and seeing vladimir putin staring back (although he’s technically 8,000 miles away, unless he’s recently moved to kamchatka).”

—Moby, including his thoughts on Sarah Palin‘s book, Going Rogue on his blog.

This insight is even more cynically humorous than his theories on vegan zombies.

Say Yeah! but not to real fur.

Usher Raymond claims his prized fur coats were stolen from his SUV last month while he and a friend were shopping in Atlanta, Georgia, according to SF Gate.

Why anyone would want to steal anything so ugly is still in question, but People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had a representative write to Usher, asking him not to bother replacing them.

After all, Usher stole them from someone else.

“When it comes to these coats, you’re not the first victim. The animals who were beaten, electrocuted, or drowned for those coats – the original owners – are the real victims. Please pledge to be fur-free.”

Not to mention the publicity opportunity. Lots of people would love to see Usher naked in an anti-fur ad.

“You would be in great company! Other compassionate folks who refuse to wear real fur include Eva Mendes, Charlize Theron, Michelle Obama… and Nia Long, just to name a few. We’d be thrilled to add your name to the list.”

Thriller and Sabu may be living a luxurious life in an animal sanctuary, but Michael Jackson‘s giraffes aren’t doing so well.

Two of the animals that once made their home at the Neverland Ranch have died in the past few months, one in November and the other this month.

PETA is concerned the animals died from neglect and is asking the city to confiscate the remaining animals.

“We’re asking the city of Page to confiscate the two remaining giraffes and relocate them to a facility that can provide them with appropriate care before it’s too late,” the group said in a statement.

Foul play is not suspected at this time.

The owners of the land the giraffes were living on in Page, Arizona, Freddie and Tom Hancock said, “We’ve had them for 3½ years, and they are like our children. We’re just absolutely devastated by the death of these giraffes.”

The Hancocks were supposed to pay $100,000 to insure the giraffes, and claimed officials never gave them the papers to get the process going.

The money has not been received and the city is in the process of evicting the couple from the land.

Jason Mraz has five commitments he’d like to stick to in the next year and decade that he shared with fans on his blog.

Jason would like to focus on local, organic and natural foods and gives factory farmed meat a good lashing.

“Did you know that processing one pound of meat requires 5000 gallons of water? Did you know that 1 cow used to produce fast food and grocery store ground beef requires 35 gallons of oil (1 barrel) to support it’s force–fed life? Did you know that cows are natural herbivores (grass grazers) and are force fed corn feed, cow parts and other animal bi-products to speed up the process to where they are fat enough to be slaughtered?  Buying quick and easy meat is like biting the hand that feeds you. Modern industrial agri-business is THE #1 contributor to the dying world.”

But a closer look at his post makes you wonder if the otherwise known as mostly vegan Jason is more tolerant of naturally raised meat.

“If we all shifted our attention back to grass-fed meat, we would be supporting farms that participate in a natural turning of land, from sunlight to grass, grass to proteins, protein to fertilizer, rinse and repeat. Not to mention, we would be treating our divine bodies better.”

Once a raw vegan who then claimed to have some occasional hot soup and (possibly) joking about eating a fish taco now and then.

Has Jason become a flexitarian?

When Paul McCartney agreed to perform on Travis‘ Fran Healy‘s solo album, Healy paid McCartney back in a gift worth more than a million dollar record contract.

Healy, his wife and one year old son have all turned vegetarian, the singer wrote on his blog, according to The Guardian.

“Nora [Healy’s wife] and I were sitting and thinking of a thank-you present and I suggested going vegetarian. Our son is already one, so it would mean we would all be on the same boat. I met Paul at his show in Berlin and told him what we wanted to do. He was visibly flabbergasted. Three days later the FedEx man delivered three Linda McCartney [vegetarian] cook books.”

Healy says he doesn’t miss his old diet and enjoyed hummus this past Christmas.

“I haven’t had any longing for meat or fish yet.”

It’s fantastic that Healy made a decision that’s better for the health of his family.

Sure  hope he keeps it up.

Going back to cheeseburgers may be a breach of contract worth years of court time over intellectual property.
