This from a Bay Area newspaper...
"Between songs, the pugnacious Hynde, in a classic black T-shirt and jeans, bantered and battled with the crowd. She dedicated "You Know Who Your Friends Are" to "all you junkies and f--," gave a shout-out to the late Joe Strummer, opined that she hopes the United States loses if it goes to war with Iraq ("Bring it on! Give us what we deserve!"), and introduced the song "Fools Must Die" with the self-deprecating quip, "I'll show you how it's done."
The set included a trove of older tracks, most notably from the band's superb debut album, including a double-header of "Mystery Achievement" and "Brass in Pocket" to close out the night. Ballads like "I'll Stand By You" intersected with harmonized rockers like "Don't Get Me Wrong," and occasional jam sessions added weight to tight, note-for-note renditions of favorite songs.
Through it all, Hynde's vegan-fueled chutzpah was relentless. "If you want to know how to have a body like this at my age, before you're 50 ride a Harley backstage after every show," she announced before the reggae track "Complex Person." The crowd cheered. She smirked. "Make that before you're 55.""
Okay... the phrase "vegan-fueled chutzpah"...
It's official now. I'm going to make it my personal mission to hunt down lil' Chrissie, pin her down onstage, and fart in her mouth. I used to think Kim Gordon would be the most proper receptacle of such an attack but.... erm... I was mistaken.

But Neudonym, there might be some flatulophagous vegans out there

Apart from "I hope we lose the war," I can find nothing fart-worthy in the above story.

Yes. We'll have to eat a lot of beans to keep our protein level up.

The other a group of us were joined by two vegans. They decided not to eat anything. Instead they hung around at our table with their jackets on and talked about smoking. One told me that smoking isn't LIKE bioterrorism, it IS bioterrorism. It took chutzpah to say that, knowing that 15 minutes later he'd be earnestly explaining the good-vibes amulet he was wearing under his jacket. (!!)

okay okay already so some of us are pretty damned annoying

I probably am but only accidentally

It's almost cruel to tell that story they were so extreme. If it were a movie you'd be like "okay THAT's not fair I don't know anyone like that" but there they were. Chutzpahing away.

ah c'est la vie c'est la guerre. but they ruin it for the rest of us don't you know.

I've never lectured anyone for eating meat. And I smoke, occasionally. And I don't believe in good luck amulets, nor in God, Krishna, Allah, reincarnation or any of that supernatural shit. But I guess people only know the vegan stereotypes, because they're exactly the ones who'll come and talk to you about your bad habits.

Not only does that article make very little sense by itself, I am also confused about why it makes you want to fart in Chrissie Hynde's mouth? Is this some kind of declaration of extremely rarified sexual attraction?

It's one of those things, Haz.
