Morrissey Shout-Out! July 10, 2007

Meat_Is_Murder.gifWhen I was just a young tyke, my babysitter, who sported a pink mohawk, introduced me to The Smiths. Ever since then, I have had a deep fascination with Morrissey and his highly coifed hair and impeccable taste in clothes. But it wasn't until years later—when I went vegan—that I really appreciated the man who coined "Meat is Murder."

Not only is he a music icon, he is also known far and wide for his animal activism. That's why I am so excited to pass along the following report from his VA Beach show last night:

"...three songs into the concert with the sold out crowd going absolutely mad, Morrissey paused to say that he was very gratified. A thunder of cheering applause interrupted him, so he said coyly, 'You haven’t even heard what I'm gratified about yet...' And he continued, 'I'm very gratified to be so close to the international headquarters of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.' Wild applause!"

That gave me chills. The good kind.
