Inflatable pig lost during Coachella music festival is found |
|
AP Entertainment Minute The Associated Press
INDIO, Calif. --A giant helium-filled pig didn't drift off to hog heaven after it was released into the night sky during Roger Waters' performance at the Coachella music festival. It's been found - in pieces.
Two couples found tattered halves of the inflatable swine in their yards, a few miles from festival grounds in the Southern California desert.
Concert organizers had offered a $10,000 reward for the pig's return. On Tuesday, pieces of the plastic carcass were examined.
"That's definitely our pig," producer Bill Fold said. ---------------------------- The two couples will split the cash reward, Fold said.
As tall as a two-story house and as wide as two school buses, the pig was led from lines held on the ground Sunday as Waters played a version of Pink Floyd's "Pigs" from the 1977 anti-capitalist album "Animals."
Then it just floated away. ------------------------------------ The pig displayed the words "Don't be led to the slaughter" and a cartoon of Uncle Sam holding two bloody cleavers. The other side read "Fear builds walls" and the underside read "Obama" with a checked ballot box for Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
------------------------------------
Learning to Fly.
(I know, Gilmour, not Waters.)

3. "Coachella" has 504 hits on the DU/Google search. Maybe someone cares. |
