Since being named the sexiest vegetarian of 2007, Kevin Eubanks has clearly embraced the prestigious title. So much so that the Tonight Show bandleader decided to write, direct, and star in a new ad for us that boasts about the benefits of a meat-free diet.

Kevin's ad is just one in a series of vegetarian testimonials—others feature Casey Affleck, Forest Whitaker, and Kevin Nealon—but Eubanks' hilarious video has a certain something not seen in the others.

Maybe it's the giant strawberry costume he's dressed in. Maybe it's his reference to wanting all his organs to work just fine (because of the connection between eating meat and impotence). Or maybe it's the date he has planned with pineapples, melons, and other fruits. OK, I think it's all of the above.

We've got a guitarist extraordinaire with Kevin Eubanks, so how's about a drummer?

Bobby Rock has been veg for 15 years, doesn't drink or do drugs and is very fit (he's a weightlifter too).

You can link to his great veg site through bobbyrock.com.

Check out his drumming on YouTube—amazing stuff (like a cross between Buddy Rich, Ginger Baker and John Bonham). BTW, Rikki Rocket is another veg drummer and ARA.

Welcome Amy!
I have to say that Kevin Eubanks is an all around wonderful man; most deserving
of his)07 "sexiest" vegetarian
award. Wouldn't it be a great
idea if Jay devoted a whole
show around Kevin's win, and
have a discussion about his
opinions on animal rights.
To top it off, Morrissey (bear
with me on spelling) should be
the musical guest! I love him!
