The Gentleman from the Dark Side of the Street

About Me

Ok, so I'm Bruce. You maybe know me from Ground Zero or Hard Mondays or First Avenue or Bobs Java Hut or the Impound Lot.Or maybe we had some past lives where we got burned at the stake together. That keeps happening to me. You too? Fuck the Inquisition anyway! I'm getting real tired of their shit!A Futurist by trade and provocateur by forte. I work mostly with do-gooder nonprofit charities and arts organizations. Im a 21st Century person, so don't like hangin with other baby-boomers. So deal with it. Industrial music, but of course, I'm a Futurist, duh!Currently, I'm volunteering on the Board of Directors of D.E.M.O., which is a nonprofit organization helping to develop street-level and emerging musicians by showcasing them at various venues and educating them about how to work in the music biz. Basically, we’re trying to promote diversity in the music scene and trying to keep the insipid mainstream pop-crapola music and the “American Idol” programs and their ilk from dictating our music tastes. http://www.demomn.org

My Interests

I love "The Arts" and love art galleries and museums and suchlike. I love theatre, and especially adore Shakespeare! I've been volunteering for five years with the Fringe Festival and sometimes for Art-A-Whirl.In good weather, I can be seen running around town on 'Skuldurid,' my lovely little Harley. I'm also known to go punch holes in paper targets with a .357 Mag. for recreation.So basically, I'm a quite civilized barbarian.....More Sordid Details are available at ---- http://www.members.aol.com/wodurid

I'd like to meet:

Basically, I'm on MySpace in order to communicate with friends who are not on Live Journal.My main 'presence' is on Live Journal. So if you want to keep up with my 'life & times,' and find interesting philosophical rants, and also heretical "Bishop" Bruce's blasphemous and irreligious "Sunday Sermon" each and every Sunday, go find "Wodurid" on LJ.

Music:

Mostly: industrial, darkwave, goth, classical and also like Scandinavian "roots" music

Movies:

Sci-fi, horror, historical. I also quite like "period" movies and "art house" movies and foreign films such as shown at The Uptown and The Lagoon. Not much at all for Hollywood "Blockbusters".I'm also not much for the sorry-ass state of what passes for comedies in today's motion pictures.It's not that I don't have a sense of humor. It's that I don't care for "senseless" humor, capsci?I'm not much either for most of these shoot-em-up "action" movies either. I don't abhor guns and violence, mind. I however do abhor movie heros running around shooting all the bad guys -- without actually aiming their weapons -- and without reloading or running out of ammunition -- and somehow surviving with only a few cuts and minor wounds. Get real.

Television:

BBC News feed on CH17 is the only thing worth watching. I don't watch much TV and don't have cable, so.....

Books:

I mostly like the so-called Cyber-Punk genre. I also love "good" historical fiction, (which is to say, that is not written with a modern perspective)Other than that, I've got raw tonnage of books on futurism and on sociology and on nonprofit management and on progressive business management practices.

Heroes:

"Oh, I have no more illusions." - Cyrano de Bergerac

My Blog

Well, I'll listen to that .... over my dead body.......

The Bereavement Register in Great Britain surveyed 5,000 people and found some increasingly contemporary choices for funeral music.   The rock songs often requested include "I'll Sleep When ...
