Live Well

Hitting top 10’s on iTunes now is Owl City’s catchy new techno New-Age pop song “Fireflies”, which I happen to like very much — but it’s not just for this reason that I’m featuring the 23-year-old Minnesota musician, Adam Young in VegLiving’s spotlight post here today. Not only has Young recently established himself as a self-produced, New-Wave artist with a chart-topping single, this guy is setting an awesome example as a compassionate vegetarian in the music industry too.

Peta2 recently featured Adam Young of his own one-man band Owl City in an interview here, from which I’ll quote two of my favorite points he made during the conversation with Megan of Peta2.

Here’s the article at Peta2 here, whereat you can enter to win a signed Owl City CD.

.

Of all of the major animal rights issues, are there any that are particularly close to your heart?
Adam: Keeping animals out of laboratory used for beauty products has always been a big one for me. It makes me shudder just thinking about it. It definitely needs to be stopped.

.

And my other favorite:

If a fan were to ask you how to be more involved with animal rights, what advice would you give him or her?
Adam: Eat lettuce, not ham sandwiches.

.

As said in the article, “a man of few words” he is. But that’s okay, he’s getting the message across and I think that’s very admirable.

Two more things: don’t forget to check out the post here at VegLiving featuring some other awesome famous vegetarians (who were contenders in PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian of the Year contest… who knows, some say Adam Young will be a big choice this year!). This post got a lot of hits and I hope new readers will find it to their liking.
