Looking back, I’m grateful it was so carefully researched and brilliantly conceived and the things I was saying to these children were all wonderful. I think if I allowed that to be real I wouldn’t’ have been able to do the show. These kids believed I was talking to them and their friend. If you look at what was happening, the relationship with kids was working. I’ve never been comfortable with even the small marginalized version of fame I had. It’s only now 20 years later I’m starting to understand. When was the moment you realized the show had blown up? I would never drive a Charger! That’s a cop car. The rumor that got me really mad is the one that said I died in a Dodge Charger. I look at my friends’ kids and they’re all singing “Let It Go” that’s a pretty profound song that kids might not understand lyrically but they’re feeling something. I listened to that whole record all the time and was very moved. I remember as a 5-year-old I loved The Rocky soundtrack not just “Gonna Fly Now” but the sad motifs on that record. Kids I’ve met are highly complex emotional beings - I’ve met some really angry kids, sad kids, kids who are really determined and for me music has served all those emotions. It’s always been my opinion that children’s entertainment is too often limited to the “Yay!” spectrum of kids’ emotions. What do you think it brings that other kids’ music doesn’t? But he was kind of impressed and called me and asked if I’d wanted to work together.

He confessed later he only listened because he thought it would suck so bad. I cashed in every favor I had to send the guy a CD of my music. I was blown away by The Flaming Lip’s Soft Bulletin, still my favorite record of all time, and I knew someone who knew someone who knew the producer. I’d always been a closet musician and into music production. The one that got me really mad is the one that said I died in a Dodge Charger. I don’t want to associate Blue’s Clues with those things. If you repeat something long enough on the internet it kind of just doesn’t go away. You see it politically, the truth, verity doesn’t necessarily matter. In the current age of information, things that get on the internet with enough traction are indelible. Then it became in a way just so interesting. What did you make of all those ‘Steve Is Dead’ myths?Īt first, it was highly disturbing because it bothered my mom so much and I would just be furious. Since you left Blue’s Clues, there’s been a lot of, uh, rumors about your well-being.
