What sad news. This guy was totally awesome. He gave a lot of column space to us Boston bands in the 90's and I'm confident to say that he was instrumental in matching Boston up with San Francisco and that was the key to making Dropkick Murphys huge and giving us all some great years because of it. Plus he was an all around gentleman in person. What was his wife's name? Katcha? I wonder if they were still together........

I haven't thought of him in years. Picked up an issue of MRR a few years ago and saw he was still at it and smiled but that was about it. He was 60 years old and still liked his punk rock loud and fast. He was a lifer!

i would see bruce like once a years for the past bunch of years
usually at antiseen or limecell shows
he would travel across the country for shows he wanted to see
was one of the only people in max. r and r to wrote about anything i cared about
clayton texted me this morning to let me know
honestly bummed about this one
super solid guy and was always glad when i had the chance to see and talk to him

He was the best part of that magazine for many, many years and often the only worth while part of it. I can't even count the number of great bands I checked out based on his recommendation in MRR. This is sad news indeed.

for the most part his column was one of the only things worth reading in MRR.

Sad News
