Exhibit 13

Posted by Doug on April 25th, 2004

I know this sounds completely stupid, but I’m sitting here watching the Blue Man Group Complex Tour “freeview” on DirecTV and I’m almost ready to shed a tear or two.

There’s a song on the Complex album called “Exhibit 13″. I never really knew the origin of the title or what the song meant, but the freeview added context for me. “Exhibit 13″ refers to a piece of paper that blew into a yard in Brooklyn following the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9/11. As the Blue Men play the song, the giant multimedia screen behind them shows a variety of scraps of paper that all landed in that particular yard in Brooklyn. It’s a very sobering and moving experience to see and it’s made me realize anew just how I haven’t gotten over September 11th.

I know I’ll never forget.

[UPDATE]

Then, they ended the concert with a Blue Man-ized version of “Teenage Wasteland”. Too cool.

I’m really sorry I missed the tour when it came to Philly.
