People are oddly vulnerable when they’re eating. Food can be sloppy, it screws up your makeup — and perhaps most of all, like a sex tape, it gives rare insight into a person’s basic appetites. So it’s especially fascinating to see those who look the coolest and most distant (or those who are so skinny or seem so drug-addled they must never eat) stuffing their faces. After the jump, we round up photos of hip music icons, from John Lennon to Joan Jett to Thom Yorke, enjoying food.
