When young, he was not very political. But once he married the Phillips woman and moved to LA, he changed. He went from a clumsy kid from Highway 9 to movie star favorite.

It started for him right before he released The River, when he did the "No Nukes" concerts. But at least back then he wasn't so strident. And he music was much better.

I used to like him a lot, but now he's off my radar screen. Haven't bought record of his since the 1990s.

I posted my memory of Bruce’s rise to fame on the Super Bowl thread. Before his first album was released, he was plastered all over the covers of major magazines. He had some great promoters. This was back in the day when we were really into finding our own music—you’d hear an obscure group, talk about it, your friends would buy the music, and there would be a “star.” Bruce didn’t do it that way. I always felt he was a manufactured pop star, much like the Monkees were sold to us as a Beatles-type substitute.
