Re: the "sausage" incident
From the PETA interview:
When asked what kind of reactions he gets from his fans considering his stand on animal issues, he said:
"That's an interesting question. We get endless positive response, generally. Something strange happend at a show once, though, in Stokes, a city in England. It was unfortunate. While we were playing the song "Meat Is Murder", somebody in the audience threw a heap of sausages onto the stage and oddly, they hit me in the face and part of them got in my mouth. They were a good shot, but they really missed the point. It was horrible. I had to just run off the stage and heave! I really vomited. Eating meat is the most disgusting thing I can think of. It's like biting into your grandmother."
When the interviewer asked what he eats, this is what he said:
"I have very simple tastes, like breads and fruits. I’m very lucky because I actually love fruit. If I can have fruit several times a day I feel absolutely fine. And I love very basic vegetables like potatoes and broccoli and asparagus and sprouts".
