...in an interview he [Anderson] stated, "I was a veggie for a while, but again I grew out of that. But I do eat very healthy." LOL

Hmmm, part-time veggie!  I hope he is still off lamb after that famous line in 'The Ancient' off Topographic Oceans.

Well, I don't know if my level of prog appreciation changes for good or for bad if I would become a veggie, just because this ain't my cup of meat.

I've been a vegetarian for over 30 years now, but I loved prog before that; it hasn't affected my taste of music, but I find it inspiring when some prog musicians are also vegetarians.

A vegetarian may have some deviant views on prog: one of them stated that Kansas is not prog and wanted people who thought otherwise to get out of the room.

Steve Hackett was a vegetarian. I don't know if he still is. I'm underlyingly a vegetarian. I stick to a vegetarian diet except in the case of fish, shrimp, scallops, lobster, chicken, ribs (pork or beef), really big hamburgers, lamb and veal. I don't touch bacon, bologna and spam.

My top ten favorite vegetables:

1. Sugar cane
2. Peyote
3. Marijuana
4. Catsup
5. Shrooms
6. Dandelion leaves
7. Rhubarb (stem)
8. Rhubarb (leaves)
9. Maple syrup
10. Hogweed

Obviously, I can only speak for myself. But, I was a strict vegetarian for about 12 years. These happened to run through the 1980's, the decade during which I was least engaged with progressive music. Coincidence, direct relationship, or maybe just co-habitating with whom would soon become the crazy ex-wife. You decide !-)

I'm eating a green salad right now.  I won't say it would be better with meat, but it could use more dressing!

Am I the only one to think of Rick Wakeman's roast turkey story after spotting this topic?

Upon looking at the pic on the back cover of CTTE, I realised the dude (who looks like his proud of his 'cigarette') is Eddie Offord . Squire isn't far behind........
