Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
In this past week's print edition, Observer contributor Chris Parker chatted up rebel rocker Michael Franti, talking about his new reggae infused sound in Spearhead in anticipation of his show tomorrow night at Grand Prairie's Nokia Theatre alongside Counting Crows and Augustana.
Well, turns out Franti won't be making the gig, after all. Last week, Franti suffered nasty appendix burst--one of the worst the doctors that treated him in LA have ever seen, according to this official statement--and it's keeping him off the road until Thursday.

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.
