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
