Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
The above video comes from Roger Waters' Sunday-night performance at Coachella, where, during a performance of Pink Floyd's 1977 song "Pigs," his giant inflatable swine took off into the night sky. Alas, it was recovered two days later -- a few miles away from the SoCal site of the festival and in too many pieces to merit its repair. Hence, our local connection: Good Friend of Unfair Park Frank Campagna sends word this a.m. that at 1 p.m. tomorrow, he'll begin fabricating a brand-new piggie for Roger Waters: "30 x 15 feet," he writes, "and little to no time to crank it out."

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.
