Probably the FIRST thing we can all do to help is give the guy a break and and not drain his energy. Not tell him he's behaving badly or give him things he NEEDS to do or even make him feel like he NEEDS to judge our ideas right now. No demands.

Nobody 'hits the big time' by trying on their own, and even those with wanted agents, promoters and handlers fail more than they succeed. I'm positive that's not what Bruce wants anyway.

He needs the right niche, an audience. Get enough people to buy his CDs so he makes enough money to take care of things and keep him doing music. Forget about the 'big...' ['scuse me] 'BIG TIME!!!'

Dude also needs some Jujubes.

'Now that they can't make so much and they can no longer monopolize and control what music people are able to find out about-- we are supposed to be sad? I personally can't wait until they all go bankrupt or rush off in search of easier money, which is all they really wanted anyway. (I have hated watching greedy bastards like them pretend to be aesthetes and acting like the music is what matters most.) They have dominated and subverted a sacred thing (music) and made it into a mass-merchandised commodity, dumbed down, plastic-wrapped and odor-free. You would think I was a conspiracy theorist if I told you about the databases they had of every radio station and record store, with fields for the employee's spouses, birthdays and pet's names, so their slimy sweatshops of people with headsets on could call them all day and say "Hi Jim-- how is your wife ___ doing? Little Brianna must be about 3 now? Oh and how did you like the new __ record?"
I don't see real music losing its ability to move people.'

'A musician who makes a video that gets "browsed" is not going to be able to build a career and pay a mortgage based on a single rush of bored people "checking out" their cool web video.'
