AFI Represent Vegetarians at Live Earth July 9, 2007

I'm not ashamed to admit that I was glued to the TV set this weekend. Rarely do I get to see so many bands I love performing together but that was the case this weekend when AFI, Foo Fighters, Beastie Boys, the Chili Peppers, and two of my all-time faves, The Police and Duran Duran performed at Live Earth. Frankly any time there's even the slightest chance that I'll get to see my Davey Havok—a.k.a. the "World's Sexiest Vegetarian for 2007"—people know not to expect me to leave the house.

The beautiful Mr. Havok took the stage in a striped light colored suit and launched into my fave song from Decemberunderground, "The Missing Frame". His newly colored and cut locks looked divine...sigh. Earlier in the day Davey and Jade spoke to Aamer from VH1 about how living a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle aids the environment. And during their set, Davey told the estimated 2 billion viewers that going vegan is one way they could help the planet. "We in AFI are all vegetarians. I've been vegan for almost 10 years now and it's those types of personal changes that you can make, going vegan, recycling, using automobiles that use less gas, or using no automobile at all that will make changes now that will affect us for years to come in the future in a positive way..." He's a good Davey, in fact, he's the only performer that spoke about the negative impact that eating meat has on the planet.

Say what you will about Live Earth, but some people really did learn from the experience, like Kelly Clarkson for instance. She had no idea that being vegan helped the planet, that is until she heard about AFI...

The band sounded great but I'll let you be the judge. Enjoy "The Missing Frame"!
