a brilliant modern folk rock singer, guitarist, and songwriter who hails from Canada. He has been awarded the honor of the Order of Canada for his insightful contributions to music. He's been in the business at least since the early 70s. He is a Christian and his faith is reflected in many of his songs, but he never shoves it down the listeners' throats. He has traveled all over the globe, and these travels have provided great inspiration for his songs. His hits include "Waiting for the Lions", "Listen for the Laugh", "The Coldest Night of the Year", "The Trouble With Normal", "(And They) Call It Democracy", "If a Tree Falls" and of course, "(If I Had A) Rocket Launcher", which is about the Guatemala civil war where the first person declares if he had a rocket launcher he would retaliate, would not hesitate, and "some son-of-a-bitch would die".
I saw Bruce Cockburn in concert in a club in Columbus, Ohio in early 1999. Me and some other fans met him in the parking lot and talked with him for a while. He was very nice, very cool, very polite and he would gladly autograph anything you had. He autographed my ticket stub. A real intelligent and cool dude.

The most delicious place to eat any sort of mexican food outside of mexico, possibly even inside mexico. Whenever you come to Bruces you will be intensely pleased in the mouth and can't wait to come back for more. Bruce's is the only restaurant in the state of Maine that is is perfectly acceptable, and even expected for stoners to come dine in, most commonly known as Bruce's.

While constipated and sitting on the toilet straining, you may find yourself with your fist pressed up against your forehead, and a gurning expression on your face. This level of constipation is termed a "Bruce Forsyth". You will resemble a pose made famous by a popular UK entertainer Bruce Forsyth, which he would perform not long after appearing in front of an audience.
My god, im so stuffed up, I ended up having a bruce forsyth on the loo. Thankfully i got a brucie bonus so no damage done ;)
