Like right now talking to you, IвЂ™m just a miserable piece of shit.вЂќ On his work ethic: вЂњI have to admit IвЂ™m really one of those people. When Office cast-mate Kate Flannery calls while weвЂ™re talking: вЂњItвЂ™s just Meredith trying to hook up.вЂќ ColeвЂ™s вЂњFalse Prophets.вЂќ Somebody shoulda told me it would be like thisвЂ¦ вЂњSiri!вЂќ he yelled. Soon after, she beeped and began playing J. One day his iPhoneвЂ™s Siri kept interrupting, вЂњgiving me shit,вЂќ he said. What else? I donвЂ™t have space here for all of his antics. I actually spent hours fact-checking before asking about it again months later. Have you ever heard someone actually cackle? ItвЂ™s startling.ДЄlso, no matter how heartfelt his plea seems, donвЂ™t buy it if he ever tells you he wants the group in Finland to stop sacrificing small animals in his name. Was that a joke? I paused before asking about it, just long enough to betray my uncertainty. Thirty minutes into our first interview, offhand, he mentioned heвЂ™d hidden a cryptic message about COVID in one of his songs. Word., in the same way: Creed fucks with you. As I interviewed his friends and collaborators, several people cautioned me, unprompted, no joke, Word. HeвЂ™s spry in conversation, with the energy of an adolescent and a maddening ability to veer imperceptibly into improvised bits. HeвЂ™s a performer to his core and I often got the sense that, having been locked inside, he was grateful for the opportunity to entertainвЂ“both me and himself. But as we dug into his past, it became evident he was telling me a story much bigger than a pithy hidden-in-plain-sight piece. He was a month away from dropping his ninth solo album, Slightly Altered, and the idea was to pair a profileвЂ“Did you know Creed Bratton is a singer-songwriter?вЂ“with the release. COVID still felt as unpredictable as it did deadly and Creed, then 77, had confined himself to his townhouse. We started talking via FaceTime in June of 2020 (heвЂ™s in L.A. Those are just highlights of the highlights, and anyway, that's not the story, either.

Like when he hitched his way, penniless, around the globe, formed a band in Germany, played gigs for oil camps in the Sahara, a brothel full of sheikhs in Beirut, smoked the most potent pot imaginable in Lebanon, chilled with Kirk Douglas in Israel, played some more music, came home, still penniless, formed another band, and then scored two certified gold singles and a gold albumвЂ“all by the age of 26. He turned a non-speaking background role into a cult-favorite character on one of the most successful comedies of all time, but thatвЂ™s not the story.

HeвЂ™s most well-known, of course, for playing the seedy, scheming octogenarian, with whom he shares a name, on the American version of the television show The Office. ThereвЂ™s so much of it, so much you need to know no matter where he begins. If youвЂ™ll listen, heвЂ™d like to tell you a story.
