Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
I admit, this is about as tangential as local music coverage can get, but it's still kinda funny: Last night, in an ABC News story about the issues Twitter and Facebook faced yesterday as a result of cyber attacks that may or may not be related to the ongoing conflict between Georgia and Russia, the news organization, in a shot showing its viewing public what a Twitter feed looks like, flashed an image of a tweet from Forever the Sickest Kids frontman Jonathan Cook.
Which, far as I can tell, means one of two things: A) ABC News intentionally showed Cook's feed as a commentary on the interactivity between mall punk bands and their fans, which is pretty unlikely, or B) someone in the ABC News department follows Cook on Twiiter, which is pretty hilarious.
That is all.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
