Pink Pigs and Scarred Psyches

But like I say, I'll be sitting in the seats when the pink pig floats again. Partly out of professional curiosity, and partly just because I can. But mostly because no matter how far taste may stray, no matter how much times may change, no matter how distant adolescence may lie in the past, the essential and original power of Pink Floyd over two generations of fuddleheaded kids and audio-wank adults is not to be denied. Because when the seductively exploitative music and mythos of Pink Floyd hooks you in that ugly and fear-filled place of the soul, it hooks you deep.

Pink Floyd will play Tuesday, April 5 at Rice Stadium, 629-3700. Tickets are $32.50 and $22.50.
