Vegetarian Star

“The way that burger ends up on your plate is pretty ugly. That burger may look fine on your plate, but if you go back and look where it came from, it’s disgusting, I think, really.”

—-Brandon Barnes, drummer for band Rise Against. The guys in the all vegetarian band like to stick with the much less disgusting vegan cheese steaks when out on the road.

The boys of Rise Against don’t take themselves too seriously. They just like to scoot around.

To entertain themselves while on their current tour to promote the album Appeal To Reason, they’ve brought along scooters so they cruise around the cities they play. Singer Tim McIlrath told Rolling Stone:

“Now, instead of being cooped up in a venue all day, we can just cruise around town. It keeps us sane.”

The all vegetarian group keeps from getting hungry by requesting platters of raw vegetables, Gatorade, and Diet Dr. Pepper backstage.

One night they used their big boy toys to hunt for some vegan cheese steaks before a show.

Wheels, food, and a venue filled with women who love rock and roll. What else could a man asked for?

Pamela Anderson stole the spotlight for veg celebrities when Kentucky Fried Chicken Canada announced they added a vegan faux chicken option to the menu. She showed up, posed for some nice photographs of her chowing down on one, and said it was “very Canadian.”

Whatever “very Canadian” meant, we’re not sure, but we love Pam, so we’ll keep it at that.

Anyway, other celebrities were a part of the campaign to get KFC to change its ways, including the all veg band Rise Against. They’ve released a new album, Appeal To Reason, and Ugo.com’s music blog asked all kinds of questions about the band, the tour, and their support of PETA.  Of KFC’s decision to offer veg chicken, member Joe Principe said, “It really is amazing that they added that to their menu.”

Some of the guys are into video games, but Joe is afraid he’ll “never leave the house,” if he buys one. He wouldn’t mind having a Wii Fit, though.

If u go to Ugo’s page, you’ll find the entire interview.
