Seriously how do you lose a pig that is the size of a school bus? Well I guess if you cut the cords and let a pig fly free during the last performance of a three-day outdoor music festival, you are going to get a bunch of hungry stoners who think that might be dinner!!! Not sure how they lost it, but the promoters of Coachella are offering $10,000 and 4 free lifetime passes to whomever returns the pig according to Wired.
Here is a description of the pig, in case you see a deflated pig the size of a school bus just laying around.
The pig was covered with political graffiti: “Don’t be led to the slaughter,” read one slogan. “Fear builds walls,” read another. A cartoon Uncle Sam painted on the pig held two bloody cleavers, and the porker’s belly read “Obama,” with a checked ballot box alongside
If you find the pig, please contact [email protected]!
Thanks Denise!
Forget spending a lot of money for one '80s band/singer like Duran Duran, George Michael, Yaz(oo) or New Kids on the Block, when you can spend a lot less to see 5 bands at once. Human League, Belinda Carlisle, ABC, Dead or Alive (thru Aug 11), A Flock of Seagulls (beginning August 13) and Naked Eyes have announced that they will be touring this summer with the Regeneration Tour!!!
I don't know about you, but I am spinning round round like a record over the news because I know there will be Always Something There to Remind Me what a good show this will be and it will be Heaven is a Place on Earth and not just Living in Electric Dreams!

This is the last years that The Mets will be playing Shea Stadium, but before they move out Billy Joel will be the last concert there on July 16th according to GigWise. It is so sad to think that both Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium are no more, but at least Shea will go out with the only singer who has played both.
Here is a little factoid, after The Police played Shea Sting said "we can't any bigger this" and thus the begiinning of the end.
Side note I originally found this story on Billboard, but because of this line "Joel joins a long list of Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will have played the Bronx, N.Y. baseball stadium" I couldn't credit them. (Shea is in Queens, Yankee Stadium is in The Bronx.)
Dewey Cox and the Hard Walkers are touring the USA throughout the month with the final date of December 21st coming to a city near you!
