AP reports that Roger Waters closed Coachella
Edited on Mon Apr-28-08 01:19 PM by intaglio
by flying a giant inflatable pig with

The pig, which was led above the crowd from lines held on the ground, displayed the words "Don't be led to the slaughter" and a cartoon of Uncle Sam wielding two bloody cleavers. The other side read "Fear builds walls."

The underside of the pig simply read "Obama" with a checked ballot box alongside.

As Waters drew the song to a close, flame bursts exploded on the sides of the stage and the swine floated into the night sky. Waters said sadly and comically, "That's my pig."


Question is this pro or anti Obama?

He is convinced Hillary will attack Iran and wage WWIII.

9. Do you mean Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd? I thought Roger Waters was relatively sober.

11. You are correct.
Waters fired Richard Wright due to Wright's coke habit.

After Syd, Waters had no patience for drugs in PF.

10. You're obviously confusing him with Syd.
Read up. Waters is the clear-eyed one of the bunch.
