Ladies and Gentlemen.... THE BEATLES

[Guest guest]

George Harrison was a vegetarian from the mid 1960s until his death of

cancer (and being stabbed didn't help much) earlier this year.

 

Sir Paul McCartney is a lacto-ovo vegetarian and was since the mid 1980s

when his wife Linda, possibly for conscience but, given her cancer death,

also possibly for health reasons, became one. They tell a charming story

of eating lamb as they watched Spring lambs gamboling on the greensward

outside and suddenly making the connection between the living joyful

things out there and the meat on their plate. I'm not entirely sure I buy

this PR-ready epiphany, but it has the grace to be true, at least, as well

as inspiring.

 

John Lennon was, aside from occasional periods of macrobiotic " ten days

rice " diets to " clean his system " never was a veggie and of course was

murdered in 1980.

 

Ringo Starr, Richard Starkey, just keeps rolling along with his All Star

Band.
