Bob Singleton, the music director for "Barney & Friends," recalled receiving alarming death threats from fans of the show who disliked his catchy tunes. He described one instance where a local radio station celebrated his Grammy nomination but a caller expressed a chilling desire to harm him, showcasing the intense reactions his work elicited. Singleton highlighted how this negativity affected him personally, revealing that such threats made going out in public incredibly uncomfortable.
The threats directed at Singleton weren't just anonymous; he shared startling experiences where people confronted him directly about their disdain for his music. In a particularly awkward encounter at a luncheon, someone expressed to him that while their kids adored his work on "Barney," they personally harbored violent feelings towards him. Singleton reflected on this moment, noting the discomfort of questioning if he needed to be wary of potential violence from someone who just disliked his music.
