Paul McCartney fires musician for sneaking a hamburger

[Not Afraid]

I know Paul is a HARD CORE vegetarian. I had an acquaintance who was his drummer and meat was NOT allowed anywhere on the tour.

I remember an interview with his late wife Linda, wherein she said something along the lines of not allowing her children to even play with kids who ate meat, it was so immoral to her.

That's a bit creepy to me...don't expose your kids to other life-ways? Because you're so righteous? Feh.

Still, the musician no doubt signed a contract saying no meat, and he ate of the forbidden flesh. It's a simple breach of contract, not a call to arms for us lovers of fine charred cow.

But: aren't these contracts/laws ridiculous? And are these restrictions on our employability (I've seen job ads saying non-smokers only, fit [how do you know, bud], high-energy, and even YOUNG -- which I'm sure is illegal) really getting out-of-hand? Yeah. If I were rich I'd go on a litigious spree. Oh, but this sounds like that old thread about skinny cute CMs, so I guess I don't want to go there.

I could believe that. Remember a few years ago when he and Linda McCartney did guest voices on "The Simpsons" on the episode where Lisa became a vegetarian? Paul would only agree to it if the creators and writers ensured that for the rest of the time the series stayed on the air that Lisa would stay a vegetarian. And, so far, she has.
