Background notes
Archive material and source history
Steven Lynch started as a stand-up comedian in St. Paul, Minnesota before moving into music in the late 1980s. His debut album was called 'Steven Lynch Live.' He's known for songs that mix satire with deadpan delivery, like 'If I Were Gay' and 'Special Fred.'
'If I Were Gay' came out in 1991 and became his most recognizable song. It's built around a straight man imagining being homosexual, delivered with clever wordplay that some found funny and others found offensive. The song's melody is surprisingly catchy for its subject matter.
Lynch has worked with musicians like Barenaked Ladies and Ben Folds over time. His albums include 'The United States of Lynchdom,' 'Steven Lynch Revisited,' and 'The Odds and Ends of Steven Lynch.' His material tends to tackle taboo topics with a mix of humor and irreverence that doesn't appeal to everyone.
