The first time I got to experience a full Mark Rothko exhibition, I genuinely wept. But the second time, I also wept. And the third. The emotional intensity of his abstracts never fails to grip me, and I will always need a moment to collect myself afterward, and I will not really be interested in looking at anything else for a while. And somehow, Dar Williams wrote a song about exactly that. This is "Mark Rothko Song." I had planned on doing this at Steel City the other night, but it was going to be the last song of the night, and this is no way to send people out into the cold. tw: mention of suicide
