I was listening to a local (Boston) talk radio station this afternoon. Usually they broadcast liberal-bashing shows with hate-mongering hosts for 23 hours a day (96.9 FM), but they do have one okay show from noon to one on weekdays (Eagan & Broudie).
Today, in honor of Bruce's appearance tonight at the Fleet Center, Eagan & Broudie featured a call-in poll that co-host Jim Broudie was conducting which asked, "Is Bruce the best male performer in the world, or is Jim crazy?" Anyway, the votes were about 95% for Bruce, 5% for Jim being crazy. Then, after dealing with one caller who disagreed with him, Broudie said, "It's like the greatest female performer of our time -- Joni Mitchell -- said, "You don't know what you've got till it's gone." ! ! ! He didn't say that Joni was the greatest female singer or songwriter or musician, he said she was the GREATEST FEMALE PERFORMER OF OUR TIME!!! (Even I don't go that far, although I *would* say greatest songwrter, male or female.) I think this guy should be on this list. Have a great weekend, everybody. --Bob
