So this guy named Steve just discovered me/ my songs- in particular my song "Please Do Something Stupid," in which I say I would never date (among other people) anyone named "Steve." He wanted to know- hey whatcha got against Steves, anyway?

I figured he can't be the only Steve out there wondering what my problem was, so I'm sharing my response with all of you:

At one point in my life I was dating not one, but 3
guys named Steve. All at once. It's the only time in my life I've dated
more than one person at a time, and it was all above board- we were all
pretty casual, just doing goofy things together like haunted houses,
bike rides, comedy clubs. Finally, at one point I had to choose a Steve.

So
actually i was being fesicious (sp???)- not only would I date someone
named Steve, i would date 3 guys named Steve. At once. But the joke was
so inside that no one but me knows what I really meant when I wrote it. In fact, when I
sing it in concert, I usually replace the name "Steve" with someone
else in the room who everyone else knows, like the soundman, the
presenter, or the other person on the stage if there is one. then i
have to make up another rhyme on the spot.

And that's the truth! I'm actually quite fond of Steves.
