Roger Waters concert Wednesday
evening ended in tragedy at The Pepsi Center when for the second time
in a week a stage prop broke free from it's mooring.
The first incident happened during the third
and final day of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts
Festival in Indio, Calif. , Sunday, April 27. Luckily
noone was hurt in that mishap, however wreckage of the
2 story inflatable pig were found Miles away.
Susan Stoltz found a plastic heap in her
driveway Monday, but said she didn’t know what it was
until she read about the missing pig in the Desert Sun
newspaper.
“My kids are going to think I’m so cool,” she said.
Another resident of the same neighborhood,
Judy Rimmer, said she found a piece of the pig draped
over a front-yard plant.
Wednesday evening in Denver, the outcome was
not quite as benign.
All was well until Roger broke into "S
everal
Species Of Small Furry animals gathered Together In A
cave and Grooving with A Pict" an obscure song from
Pink Floyds 1969 release
Ummagumma.
"Everything was pretty cool up til the point
Waters can be heard to say, "That was pretty avant-
garde, wasn't it?"." concert goer Biff Masterson
reported, "then all the sudden, the Pig broke loose
hit the ceiling and exploded into millions of tiny
little pink piggy pieces. I feel lucky to be alive"
However killed in the ensuing shower of
plastic piggy was well loved local bootlegger Drowe3.
"The poor bastard never had a chance" one
source quoted as saying, "the guy just stood there
with a beer in his hand not trying to run or
anything."
"It was ike he did not want to spill a drop"
said another.
Captain Tommy Walker of the Denver Police had
this to say, "I didn't see or hear anything. Hell I'm
not even sure I can talk about it. But apparently this
isn't the first time this has happened to this Floyd
guy."
When asked to comment on it Waters had this to
say, "Second pig this week I've lost, Damn it! I'm not
made of Money!.. I am? well Think I'll buy me a
football team"
Drowe3 is survived by 4 cats, 3/4 of a bottle
of O'Bannans single Malt, His Fiance, the future Mrs.
Drowe3, his father Drowe2 and mothe Littleoldrowe.
Mr. 3 will be creamated and his ashes
scattered on dawn's highway per his final wishes
