McCARTNEY ON TURKEYS

Former Beatle Paul McCartney, a vegetarian, has joined a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals [PETA] campaign to encourage Americans to celebrate a turkey-free Thanksgiving.
McCartney, wearing a gray shirt with an "eat no turkey" design, is featured on the website of PETA, reports AFP.
The text on the site reads: "This Thanksgiving, Paul McCartney is urging you to say 'no, thanks' to turkey and 'yes' to a delicious, cruelty-free holiday meal."
According to PETA, more than 45 million turkeys will be eaten on Thanksgiving, and another 22 million will be eaten on Christmas.
Employees at Butterball, a major supplier of turkeys, were recently caught abusing the birds in an undercover video.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
