Fear Builds Walls, Hope Builds Pigs

HA HAAAA CHARADE YOU ARE... Man, I love that song! Haven't played it in years, don't even think I have it anymore. That was in the cassette era, and I've lost all my music casettes. I saw Floyd in '88, NJ. (Maybe it was '89.) I think it was the Giants stadium. And yeah, baby. I saw the pig fly. But it looks like there's a 2008 twist this time!

INDIO, Calif. - Roger Waters brought Coachella to a close with an epic two-set performance that included playing all of "Dark Side of the Moon" and unleashing a giant inflated pig into the night sky. [...]

[It] emerged while he played a version of "Pigs" from 1977's capitalism critique, "Animals."

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."
