Walking down 7th avenue, a light rain starts to fall. As I’m waiting for the light to turn green, a chap next to me says,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Seu Jorge?”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I turn and smile and acknowledge that I am indeed going to the show.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Your red beanie gave you away my friend.”<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
I’m not one to usually dress up in costume when going to concerts, but after having seen Seu Jorge<\/a> last year in Denver, I knew that Team Zissou would be worn this time around.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I continue down the streets of Minneapolis until the Pantages Theater is seen, the bright lights of the marquee shining like a lighthouse in a storm.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Like most theaters in the midwest, the Pantages is ornately gorgeous inside. I marvel at the intricate artwork until the lights go down.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Seu tells the story of how his own Father passed away three days after David Bowie died. During this time his ex-wife pushes him toward a tour of the songs he so memorably brought to life in the movie The Life Aquatic<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Which is how our lives became intertwined over these last few months. I find no coincidence that I hear this story the night before Father’s Day, and it seems to add something special as I let my own Dad know how much I love and miss him.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Which is what the movie was really all about.<\/p>\n

I hum and whistle the songs in the Minnesota night as I walk back home in the rain, a smile repeatedly finds it’s way onto my aged face.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
