      I saw Tool in the early 2000's at San Diego Street Scene. A mosh pit formed, I think perhaps there was a bit of a scuffle, so Maynard told them to stop or they would end the set. It took 5 mins but people chilled out and Tool continued.

But that was basically the only time I saw mosh in a Tool concert and I've seen them 3 times after that.

    The line weeping shades of indigo is an allusion to fake tears. Back in the early days of cinema they would put lemon juice in the actors eyes to enable them to cry but the juice would cause their eyes to appear Indigo on screen a colour which doesn't appear anywhere in nature and has to be man made. I believe this song is aimed at a particular district attorney who built his career on a hard-line stand against even minor drug offences until he got caught involved in a police sting involved with large scale marijuana distribution.

    Every TOOL song is nasty and the lyrics pulled up ALWAYS make the context of what you're hearing make sense. Often the lyrics can have multiple meanings or apply to you and not me but I get something from them you may not. They do everything with intention. In high school in the 90s, I jammed to their sound and liked them. In 2019 I picked them up again and zeroed in on the meanings of the songs and it make their whole discography brand new to me and by far my favorite band. Keep 'em coming!

    I've been listening to Tool since high school in in 90s but only saw them live a month ago. I never thought they could be a great live band but was SO wrong. Every member played perfectly, the sound engineering felt studio quality, and Maynard sang pitch perfectly from beginning to end. He may have cheated a few cut short screams during the first half, but after the intermission, he held every note including "MINDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD" at the end of The Pot.
