Vegetarian Star

After converting his ’59 Lincoln continental into an electric car, Neil Young was so excited to share the green love, he created an album inspired by it, Fork in the Road.

But not everyone was excited to hear “Cough Up The Buck” and “Fuel Line,” as one commenter on a website examining the lyrics to one of his songs said, “No one wants him to retire, but we really need to quit pretending that the lyrics don’t suck.”

Vegan singer and songwriter Missy Higgins recognizes how spreading the seemingly enthusiastic eco friendly love isn’t for every musical artist, so she stays away from it.

“I’ve tried, but I can’t figure out a way to do it without sounding cliché. Some people protest through their music, and some have to do it through other means. Midnight Oil does it pretty well [through their music]. They’re big environmentalists.”

“For me, it’s more of a personal thing. I don’t judge any musician or nonmusician for living the sort of lifestyle that they do. I think it all comes down to conscience and making the decision for you and your life. Everyone’s at a different point of realization.”

“The first few tours I did, I was talking about [green issues] on stage. Then I just figured I probably shouldn’t talk about it every tour, so now I guess I’m just talking about it in interviews. It’s something I’ve been doing for quite a while now, so it doesn’t feel like news.”

—Singer, musician and songwriter Missy Higgins, in an interview with Mother Nature Network, on whether or not she considers herself an “elite” greenie.

Missy could count herself as being in the upper echelon of green musicians. Her biggest green move is being vegan. She also donated profits from her song, “Steer,” to the Sierra Club’s Two Percent Project, makes her tours carbon neutral, and performed at Live Earth Australia last year.

We admit we’re in love with Missy Higgins. But what’s not to love about her?

A vegan with a beautiful voice and equally talented song writing skills, she’s no stranger to animal issues either. Remember when she got cuddly with the piggy?

Now she’s cozying up with Izzy the dog, and both want to convey a serious message about animals and the fur industry.

“If you wouldn’t wear your dog, please don’t wear any fur,” reads the ad.

“The only difference between your “best friend” and animals killed for their fur is how we treat them. All animals suffer and feel pain. Please don’t wear any fur or fur trim.”

Missy Higgins’ fans know who she is!

During a recent conversation on the missyhiggins.org forum, one fan wanted to know where Missy got her wickedly delicious guitar strap shown here.

Much talk went on about the origins of the strap, including the theory it came from a vintage porn shop. Don’t ask us how they arrived at that one. We won’t go there.

One fan offers some insight into the materials in the strap:

“Based on what the strap looks like, I think your best bet is some sort of cotton/nylon strap with what normally would be leather or suede ends, but the vegan in her probably opposes any cow hide for the strap.”

Woohoo! Missy has taught her fans well, as they’re well schooled on her principles when it comes to animal products.

If you’re a guitar player, you can rock out vegan style with straps at couchguitarstraps.com.

If you live in the US, traveling to some other countries can be a pain when it comes to finding good vegetarian food.

But, hey, who are the Americans to brag? There are still some places in the States where if you say, “Tofu,” they think you’re hurling an insult at them.

Singer-songwriter and musician Missy Higgins keeps her veganism while on tour, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy to do, as she explained in the Minneapolis StarTribune.

Although the Australian born lady thinks the best thing about the US are its open minded people, one of the worst things is finding food in smaller towns.

“Their idea of vegetarian is fried chicken,” she said.

Poor thing!

Oh yeah! We’re going down under this week.

Missy Higgins is the queen of green, and has spoken out about the importance of being environmentally friendly. She’s even greened her tours!

Sophie Monk stirred quite some controversy last year when she was photographed carrying bags of KFC goodies to her car. She later said she was just buying some food for a homeless man.

So between the two Australian hotties, who would you rather do…

Missy Higgins is an Australian born singer and songwriter who’s been inching her way into America’s CD players with her album The Sound of White and more recently, On A Clear Night.

She is a vegan, who agreed to cuddle with a pig because she loves animals so much. The last time we remember a singer holding a pig for the camera it was Tori Amos nursing one and…well, never mind.

Anyway, living in Los Angeles is great for Missy because she has the world of vegan food eateries in her backyard, include Real Food Daily. We checked out the menu: Better With Cheddar Nachos-melted cashew cheddar cheese with tofu sour cream, Tempeh Reuben, and Salisbury Seitan to name a few items.

It’s safe to say that this woman’s got both a great voice and great taste.
