Rise Against Singer Tim McIlrath Praises Australian Pumpkin Love
Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, March 29th, 2009 in Bands, Male Musicians, Male Singers.
Rise Against singer Tim McIlrath says the band likes touring Australia because the Aussie’s love their pumpkin.
“We love Australia, because Australia loves pumpkin,” said Tim McIlrath, in a recent interview. “In Australia they put pumpkin in everything. And pumpkin is great.”
Sure, pumpkin is delicious, but Tim likes pumpkin for another reason: It produces less greenhouse gases than meat, so praising Australia for its pumpkin love is a way Tim and the band can get their vegetarian message across to fans.
Besides passing out PETA pamphlets at concerts, the all vegetarian band never misses a chance to pipe for their cause while touring.
“Eating meat is one of the most environmentally damaging things you can do,” McIlrath said.
Aussie pumpkin love forever!
