Mr. Goldman, Mr. Stanton and Mr. Wink, all "pretty much 30," say they created Blue Man because they saw "people doing the 60's" but were too young to do it themselves, and "the only thing that happened in the 80's was that everyone got a VCR," so they had to map out their own intellectual landscape.

like-minded friends, and in that atmosphere Blue Man was born. Mr. Wink

has no symbolic meaning but transcends race and sex and could be any
religion, putting Blue Man beyond the reach of styles and categories.
