I believe Andrew is a vegetarian--- should he be added to the list of vegetarians? I can't find the source I saw that said he was, though. --24.12.244.203 01:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
He has a song sweetbreads about eating meat. Though maybe he wrote it because he doesn't. I think he raises chickens. That's all I got. Squanderdalfast 17:23, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
He eats eggs. He's mentioned that before. And sweetbreads is more about his usual fascination with bizarre human customs and things like that. I think. ^.^

[edit] Andrew Bird as "Dr. Stringz"
Andrew appeared on a kids show... someone should look into that and add it to the page. benastan 22:10, 12 February 2007
[edit] Jack's Big Music Show Appearance
I just added a brief paragraph about Bird's appearance on Jack's Big Music Show. Don't know if it's worded as well as you all might like, and it looks a little awkward tagged on to the end of the "History" section like it is, but it definitely seems worth mentioning on the page at the very least in terms of commercial exposure and growing popularity. On a side note if y'all haven't seen the video on YouTube [1] it is most certainly a must (brilliant!).
[edit] Sovay
I would like to make a page specifically for the song 'Sovay', but I don't really know how. It has lots of allusions that could be explained, like B-17s, Don Quixote, Ride of the Valkyries, and in particular the English traditional song "Sovay", of which an exposition can be found at http://www.canasg.com/zsovay.htm, and whose lyrics (found at that page) (and, since it's traditional, presumably copyright-free) are:
Sovay (traditional English song)
Sovay, Sovay, all on a day,
She dress'd herself in man's array.
With a brace of pistols all at her side
To meet her true love away did ride.
As she was riding over the plain
She met her true love, she bade him stand.
'Stand and deliver, kind sir', she said,
'And if you do not, your life I'll have'.
He deliver'd up his gold in store
But still she craved for one thing more.
'That diamond ring that I see you wear,
Hand it over, and your life I'll spare'.
'All with this ring I never will part
For it's a token from my sweet-heart.
Shoot and be damned, you rogue', said he,
'And you'll be hanged for murd'ring me'.
Next morning in the garden green
Young Sovay and her true love were seen,
When he spied his watch hanging from her clothes,
Which made him blush, lads, like any rose.
'Why do you blush, you silly young thing,
I meant to have that diamond ring.
It was I who robbed you all on that plain,
So here's your gold now and your watch again.
'I only did it for to know
If you would be a man or no.
Had you given me that ring', she said,
'I'd have pulled that trigger and shot you dead'.
Also the Andrew Bird 'Sovay' is very good and awesome.
[edit] New album april
At the WOW hall in eugene, OR, Andrew said the new album would be released in april. No cite, but it's more specific. Somebody can add it if they want.
