Friends: As the night slowly falls on Montreal as we await the arrival of Uncle Brucie, sometimes affectionately(not THAT affectionately) known as "Mudrock", I thought I would offer a little story to all you who are, well, a little "uncomfortable" with the new tekkieschmekkie podcasterblaster #@$%#$&computer stuff that surrounds us.
    The other day I decide it might be a good idea to contact SOCAN, the performing rights agency, since my new album just got released on all the download shops. And, as we all know, them thar royalties are a GOOD thing. So I call them up and tell them I was with BMI in 1969! and that I did one song on T.V. 6 minutes playing time = $400 in royalties in 1969 dollars. Booyeah! They ask, "What's your name?." I tell them and hear ferocious typing on the computer...They go, "Oh, yeah, you're right here, what's your new address and phone number?" So kids, that's 38 YEARS ago, and they STILL got me...
    Which means, if some guy is taking a wee wee in Taiwan and he's humming one of my songs, these guys will find him.
    So, Bruce on the radio with Mike VILL BE AVAILABLE! ZAT iss fer sure....
And, the tip for today is, don't put that white iPod your kid gave you for your birthday in the toaster, hoping it will turn a golden brown. It wants to be your friend, All's ya gots ta do is read them durn instructions!!!

I laugh with you...as I give my beloved computer a big hug and a kiss goodnight...
Baby, I really didn't mean all those things I said about computers in the first paragraph, oh come on now, download, download...aw %&$%*#$@!!!
