"WE’RE GETTING TO KNOW YOU, BOB PYLE
(From Abolitionist-Online.com)
By Claudette Vaughan

Vegan/animal rights humour will keep us all sane. Having recently won Bob Pyle's latest CD called ‘Apples and Oranges' on 2RRR, the Sydney based animal rights radio show – we now can't get enough of him! Here's the man himself – funny, refreshing and very down-to-earth."

 

IN THE WORKS:

Bob Pyle is currently working on a documentary film project called "The First Vegan" It is about the life of Donald Watson, who coined the term "vegan" and invented the nonviolent lifestyle called veganism. Donald Watson lived in England and passed away two years ago at the age of 95.

Also in the works is a second animal rights music compilation due out in 2009 and a possible children's album of vegetarian songs. Bob always welcomes ideas and comments so please contact him with any suggestions.
