Born in the great state of Michigan, the man called Alice Cooper already had my support. But on top of that, his music like “School’s Out” and “I’m Eighteen” really hit the spot during certain periods in my life. Now that I am basking in the meat-filled period of my life, Alice Cooper has done one more thing to earn my support.

It’s no secret that Alice Cooper loves himself some good food. He even opened a restaurant in Phoenix called Alice Cooperstown, which combines three of my favorite things in the world: Music, Sports and Food. I am sure the place serves up some meaty delights, but this is not about the restaurant, this is about a little something Cooper said a couple days ago when asked how he would like to spend his last day on Earth.

According to an article at Female First, Cooper would “…wake up in Maui…” and finish the day with Sir Paul McCartney himself “eating a big, thick steak.” If you recall, I once wrote about McCartney’s vegan lifestyle and his attempt to get us all to follow that lifestyle on Meat Free Mondays. It’s obvious that Cooper isn’t a fan of this lifestyle and he’s tired of being “Mr. Nice Guy” about it.

So Alice, for being from Michigan, making badass music, opening a restaurant worthy of a visit from Man vs. Food and finally for attempting to convince Sir Paul to eat a delicious steak, you are a true Unvegan Hero!

While I disagree with the way they chose to spell “Zac,” that is far less important than the things in which I agree with Zac Brown Band. Since the band has been catapulted into the spotlight with their song, “Chicken Fried,” PETA has tried to capitalize on their fame by trying to convince them to give up meat. Good thing the Zac Brown Band isn’t some boring celebrity ready to roll over for the radical group.

In response to PETA, they posted the following on Twitter, “Dear PETA – Plants are living creatures too- Bacon had a mother but so did Pickle. It takes life to support life – welcome to the planet.” Great point. Anytime you eat, something has to die. It is the way of life and makes the world what it is. To really drive the point home, though, the band also posted a follow-up, “Chicken is the new tofu.” It sure is, especially because the two aren’t even comparable.

Now enjoy a bit of “Chicken Fried” live and just look at that fiddle go. Can’t imagine a vegan having the strength to play like that.

So for standing up to PETA, loving your meat and singing about it, Zac Brown Band, you are true Unvegan Heroes.

When looking for this song online, I have to say I was quite disappointed to find no official music video and only a couple really uncomfortable home-made music videos. Oh well, at least we have the song to listen to.

Now, Infected Mushroom isn’t the kind of music my unvegan ears usually listen to. The Israeli duo makes some incredibly psychadelic tunes, and that’s not typically my style. Nonetheless, I must give this band credit where it is due.

First off, the band’s name, Infected Mushrooms, conveys the sense of hatred I have for mushrooms. In my mind, all mushrooms are infected, because they infect my unvegan tastebuds with an unsettling taste.

Second, their song, “Converting Vegetarians” never fails to entertain me. Perhaps it is the fact that the song is seemingly about changing vegetarians (who have somehow been led astray) back into meat eaters. It is a noble quest and after a few listens, the song really becomes quite catchy. In fact, they have an entire two-disc album called Converting Vegetarians, which makes me think they have taken the issue a lot more seriously than writing one song.

For turning an unvegan quest into a great song about making vegetarians into meat eaters and having a a great name to go with it, Infected Mushroom, you are true Unvegan Heroes!
