Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Your daily dose of national music news for Wednesday, April 29, 2009...
- Looks like Michael Jackson's estate will produce as much posthumous music as Tupac's. Hard drives containing at least 100 unreleased songs--new and old--were taken by his sister LaToya.
- The Outside Lands Festival booked the most logical replacement for the Beastie Boys: Tenacious D.
-
Steven Tyler was airlifted to a hospital after falling off the stage during a performance at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, while performing "Love In An Elevator." First floor? Home decor, humiliation and public embarrassment.
- The king of teen comedy movies--whose soundtrack provided the soundtrack to many of us--has died. John Hughes was 59.
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.
