Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
So Tracy Rowlett did in fact use our interview on his weekly “Perspectives” mini-show last night. I liked the piece very much, mostly because it gave me an opportunity to call Mayor Tom Leppert a flunky on TV.
I do, indeed, look like crap in the piece, as earlier Unfair Park items had predicted I would. That is because I was very ill that day, and yet I rose from my sickbed -- possibly my deathbed, for all I knew at the time -- in order to come into the Observer’s offices and call Tom Leppert a flunky on TV. It’s something I would gladly come back from the grave to do. --Jim Schutze
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.

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.
