“Chicken Pot Pie” would’ve been great. I still can’t believe that Paul McCartney opposed it because he’d gone vegetarian, the proposed song being a parody and all, versus a serious advocation.

Too bad Coolio has come around first.

Maybe, since McCartney has invested in Next Gen Foods, Weird Al can revisit the song, fitting in plant-based artificial chicken, somehow.

Coolio change of heart has merit because he accepts weird als creation as it is.

If Paul wants to give permission for al to do the song his way, great. Otherwise, I'm not interested.

That's true. I hadn't thought of that. It might seem like some sort of commercial or ad pitch, otherwise.

Weird Al became a vegetarian too, but he still played at high-profile BBQ cook-off events. His head his nowhere near his rear, and yes I know about his love of yoga.

Well. We still talk about Paul being a vegan all these years later on random internet threads because of it.

So. Paul McCartney: 1, You: 0. You lost the game by playing it.

McCartney is vegetarian, not vegan.

Is Paul McCartney vegan?

So, no loss, continued consumption of dairy products and all. Probably honey, too.

Edit - Or, as Todd from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World would say, Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian.
