| Roger Waters' pig endorses Obama, floats away | |
| 2008-04-29 | |
After performing Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety, Roger Waters did the usual Pink Floydian thing with the giant inflatable pig. But Mr. Rogers, who apparently has never read Shut Up and Sing, made sure that the pig was festooned with the word "Obama" on its porcine belly. Endorsement . . . from pigs on the wing. Not entirely sure that's the endorsement I'd want if I were running for president of a real country, as opposed to unicorn-emperor of the mythical kingdom in Roger Waters's head. The lunatic is in my head . . . the lunatics are in my head . . . Unfortunately for Mr. Rogers, the giant inflatable pig broke its moorings and went floating off into the night. Long you live and high you fly . . . A $10,000 reward and lifetime passes to the Coachella music festival have been offered for the pig's return. Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash. As the pig floated away, Mr. Rogers was heard to deadpan "That's my pig," which is almost up there with "What time is the next swan?" for in-concert comedy. But one wonders if, under our byzantine campaign-finance laws, a floating. pig-shaped billboard for Barack Obama constitutes an illegal campaign donation. Cause if they catch you making excess donations to Barak, they're gonna send you back to mother in a cardboard box. You better run. | |

| #9 There was a lotta money in that bloated corporate rock industry way back when. It kept Roger high for about 30 years. |

| #8 I love the hypocrisy...from the guy who railed against bloated corporate rock back in the 70s etc - now trying to use his own fading fame to endorse a presidential candidate - as the Brits would say - what a wanker. |

| #2 "A pig got loose last night," said Bill Fold, one of the festival's producers, on Monday. "We really like him and want him back.... It's a very emotional time for us."I> Sounds like Bill is outta good weed... |
