- <p> The band has rarely appeared in public, but one face is
- familiar. River Phoenix, 18, his sister Rainbow and three
- friends will perform their own music in a February "Rock
- Against Fur" benefit at New York City's Palladium organized by
- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Phoenix, a
- vegetarian, does not wear leather "except on some films when
- I've had to for the character." His strong convictions about the
- environment and animal rights are a legacy from his
- flower-children parents. "You have to make changes in life to
- fit your ethical and moral beliefs," he says. In the forthcoming
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the third movie in the
- Raiders of the Lost Ark saga, he is, by his own account, a "boy
- on a train." But the teen idol, who was born in a log cabin in
- Oregon and has lived in almost 40 different homes with his
- peripatetic family, was reportedly typecast and plays the
- adventurer Jones as a youth.
