NYT: "I, Pee-wee"
Growing up, I was a huge fan of "Pee-wee's Big Adventure." It's in my DVD collection right now. Who can forget Paul Reubens' character, Pee-wee Herman, desperately searching for his bicycle, encountering ghostly truckers, and dancing in a biker bar to "Tequila"?
Unfortunately, a pair of legal problems tripped Reubens up, and their sexual nature made him suddenly much less "kid-friendly" than his acclaimed "Pee-wee's Playhouse" television program demanded. Pee-wee Herman vanished from the scene, and Paul Reubens hasn't donned the Pee-wee suit in 13 years.
The New York Times features this interview with the man who was (and is) Pee-wee Herman. For fans, worth a read, if only for the nostalgia.
