Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Chris Novaselic, the basist of Nirvana was / is a vegetarian. What I always found puzzling was that Kurt seemed to acknowledge the cruelty involved in eating animals in a few of his songs yet I saw him wearing leather (hadn't heard of the meat sculptures 'til now). In " Something in the Way " he says, " It's OK to eat fish 'cause they don't have any feelings. " And in the song " Mr. Moustache " , which is about how stupid it is to be macho he sings " Yeah I eat cow, I am not proud. " Then there is the song " paper cuts " which is about child abuse, but sounds as though it could be sung from the perspective of mistreated pets. Perhaps Chris is responsible for these tidbits since he was with Nirvana from the beginning. About Kurt's stomach problems; they led him to start taking heroin. Perhaps they were caused by eating meat... I developed severe chronic heartburn (aka acid reflux) before I gave up the dead animals. Oddly enough this is not why I gave it up. Compassion for animals was a good reason, but searing pain was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
