James Brown , Bob Dylan , and a whole slew of other pretenders just called to say ‘ we are not worthy ‘. As Jon Stewart so memorably put it , ‘ when Bruce gets up on stage , he empties the tank ‘ . Unquestionably .
Max was kinda out of contract and considering going back to law school when he got the call from Conan. Bruce got the band back together later and the rest is history.
This is what it sounds like when someone who is tired of singing the same song for 30 years thinks everyone who paid good money to attend wants to hear him sing it sloppy, campy and shtty. Thanks Doosh, I mean Bruce.
We cover about 20 Bruce songs in our setlist. Trust me-I get it. Screaming half lines in goofy affected voice is never cool. I just listened to this again as I was typing this. Gets worse as the song progresses. At several points he screetches as if he's getting probed by aliens. That's between the parts where he fiegns being out of breath and leaves every third word out. Oh wait. There's barking, exaggerated raking of guitar strings and drag queen troubadour posing at the end. Nice touch. Embarrassing. Look up some Counting Crows live concerts. You'll see this stuff gets to extreme levels and people end up leaving your concerts midway.
Stereo Stepchild he’s happy successful and having a blast after 40 years of work. He deserves to sing songs the way he likes to. That’s his style. He was never famous for his voice but rather his lyrics.
