Morrissey Called For 'Meat Ban' At Wireless Festival - Gigwise But the Rascals ruined it... Morrissey is reported to have called for a ban on all meat in the backstage area at last weekend's Wireless Festival in London. The singer, who headlined the second day of the festival, is also said to have displayed 'Meat is Murder' posters in the VIP area. But Morrissey's efforts to stop the consumption of meat failed when The Rascals chose to deface one of his posters, according to teletext. “The Rascals lived up to their name and defaced the poster nearest Moz's enclosure so it read, 'Meat is boss', and drew a load of burgers on it,” a source said. As previously reported on Gigwise, Morrissey also spoke out against meat eaters during his performance, saying he could smell the scent of burgers drifting across the stage. --- Update: 07/12 21:24 GMT: cossy posted a link in the comments to the video story on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnvSANdGg_o

What the rascals are basically understating is "this is a word of meat-eaters, we rule, and we as a majority don't feel we have to be otherwise for a single hour." Fine, rascals, and the majority of the world. Knock yourselves out. And that blond needs to sound a little more convincing of her opinions.

Carnivores, excuse me, omnivores are people with
very little intelligence and narrow mind. They do not understand that their actions are greedy and malicious.
Not only does the action of buying and eating animal products harm animals, but it also harms the environment. It is not environmentally sustainable to produce meat to feed the vastly growing worldwide population. Therefore, a vegetarian diet is much more environmentally sound and practical.
The blundering idiots on this forum who glorify eating meat are only excusing their selfish behavior. Let's pity them.

If smokers have to go outside to smoke these days to stop non smokers breathing their smoke, then why should people with brians (vegetarians) have to put up with the disgusting smell of burning flesh. And everyone knows Morrissey will do all he can to stop meat eaters, so why the big shock? His recent output of music may have me a little worried, but this is one thing i back him with fully all the way.

I'm veggie. I chose that lifestyle quite apart from Morrissey's influence, and it astounds me how vehemently opposed people are to vegetarians, to the point where, by the looks on some peoples faces, you're no better than a pervert. Why does it bother meat eaters so much? Admittedly I'm not as strict as Morrissey, cannibalism aside, people can eat what they like around me; I don't mind and I don't comment. But I can still see Morrissey's point. He's the boss when the band are on the road, he was also the main draw on the night he played the Wireless and he saw that as an opportunity to make a point. The people on here telling him to just 'shut up' are basically saying that people have no right to put across their views. Avoiding meat for one evening isn't going to kill you, so he had every right to impose the ban. To my mind religious belief and moral choice are two sides of the same cliched coin. Therefore, flouting Morrissey's wishes when he's meant to be calling the shots is the same as giving a bacon butty to a Jew or a Muslim, or a beef casserole to a Hindu. Of course, if you were down the local and eating your chicken curry and Morrissey swanned in and told everyone to put their meat away (insert pun) then there's no contest; you could and should tell him where to go. But why should Morrissey get flack for his no meat stance on the night of the festival? Especially when the diva artists who demand a certain brand of water, or ten wraps of cocaine, or only blonde women with big tits in the front row etc, get away without people batting an eyelid. Elton John had a bloody building altered for him when he played in Doncaster last night. Choice is a right and being in charge, or being the biggest name on the bill allows for some privileges. Morrissey imposes a most un-diva like rule (the crowd were exempt, he simply commented) and one based on a strong moral conviction and people on here deign to say he's spoiled. I guess they'd think better of him if he'd demanded the coke like hundreds of other rock stars. "Countless people have died so you can put that powder up your nose but hey, that's loads better than asking people not to eat a certain foodstuff. Who do you think you are you vegetarian you?"
As for the Rascals, they were well within their rights to make their views known. What really irks me about their actions is the lack of imagination or wit.
"Meat is Boss"?

Eddie Brigati (vocals), Felix Cavaliere (keyboard, vocals), Gene Cornish (guitar) and Dino Danelli (drums) started the band in Brigati and Danelli's native state New Jersey. Their first public performance took place at the Choo Choo Club in Garfield on Saturday, February 27, 1965. Three-quarters of the group - Brigati, Cavaliere and Cornish - had previously been members of Joey Dee and the Starliters. Eddie's brother, David Brigati, an original Starliter, helped arrange the vocal harmonies and sang backgrounds on many of the group's recordings (informally earning the designation as the Fifth Rascal). When Atlantic Records signed them, they discovered that another group (Borrah Minevitch's and Johnny Puleo's Harmonica Rascals) objected to the release of records under the name Rascals. To avoid conflict, manager Sid Bernstein decided to rename the group the Young Rascals.
The Young Rascals had a minor US hit with their first single, "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" (1965); the track was actually more successful in Canada where it reached #23. This modest hit was followed by the US/Canada #1 single "Good Lovin'" (1966, originally recorded by The Olympics in 1965).
Their first two singles were covers, but after that the band's songwriting team of Brigati and Cavaliere began providing most of their songs, and the hits kept coming for the next two years. Their immediate followups to "Good Lovin'", including "I've Been Lonely Too Long", "You Better Run", were only modest hits, but "Groovin'" (#1 US/Canada, 1967), returned them to the top of the charts. After that, the group reeled off a succession of US top 20 US hits, including "It's Wonderful", "A Girl Like You", "How Can I Be Sure?" and "A Beautiful Morning" (1968). Outside of the US, the band was exceptionally popular in Canada, where "A Girl Like You", "How Can I Be Sure?" and "A Beautiful Morning" all reached #1. However they struggled in the UK, where they only twice reached the top 75 in their entire career (both times in 1967) with "Groovin'" (#8), and "A Girl Like You" (#35)
In early 1968, the group dropped the "Young" from their name.
The Rascals' best work arguably came from their 1968 album Once Upon A Dream, which featured several leads each from Brigati and Cavaliere. Though the only success for a single on the album was "It's Wonderful" (#20 on the US charts, #7 in Canada), the album utilized frequent instrumentals, and peaked at #9 on the album charts. The album was praised by some critics for such songs as "Rainy Day", "My World" and the title track. Understandably, the song "My Hawaii" became a top of the charts hit in Hawaii.
Time Peace: The Rascals' Greatest Hits, released in mid-1968, topped the album chart and became the group's best-selling album. The same year, "People Got to Be Free", a horn-punctuated plea for racial tolerance (the band was known for refusing to tour on segregated bills) became their third and final U.S. #1 single, and their sixth and final Canadian #1. It was also their final US Top Ten hit, although they would remain a Canadian top 10 act for the next few years.
Singles "A Ray of Hope", "Heaven", "See" and "Carry Me Back" were all modest US hits during 1968/69 for The Rascals, all hitting the top 40, though none higher than #24. In Canada, however, the Rascals were still major stars – all these songs went top ten, completing a run of 11 straight Canadian top ten hits for The Rascals from 1967 to 1969.

They are generally the least informed when it comes to logic, Anthropology, and Human Physiology. Hell, they're usually just bad at science, period. Being educated on such matters would ruin the pleasure of their cult fixation.
The arguments that they often use to try and enforce the notion of a vegetarian lifestyle would make your average scientist snicker with contempt.
They truly are a queer mixture of self-loathing depressives, and overemotional ditzes.
