| The only reason Idol is a vegetarian is because according to him, rock and roll and food don't go together. - tiffane, kalispell, MT |
| Billy Idol is a vegetarian. He became a vegetarian not due to animal rights but due to the fact of being a rocker, drinking and keeping weird hours, his stomach would get upset. So he made a conscious decision to stop eating meat to avoid the stomach problems.
He loves his leather pants ;) - ANNIE, Norman, OK |
