Even though the new star is coddled with his own 200-ft. by 75-ft. "Shark City" workshop and a corps of 23 crewmen in daily attendance, all of Bruce's schizoid personae are temperamental.

His last record, "Part of the Search," was a commercial, nostalgic attempt at the Swing music of the Thirties. It's probably a good idea to listen to WBCN's latest broadcast tonight before you shell out your money...
