I myself have never been a *huge* fan, but he has my deep and abiding respect. Bruce is most definitely the Woody Guthrie of his generation. It's hard to question his well-informed activism and the message of hope and faith in his country that fuels his involvement in so many worthy causes.

Who wouldn't rather listen to his soft-spoken pleas for peace, love and understanding than the shrill, hate-filled invective of a Zell Miller, for example. Most people whould prefer to be lifted higher and buoyed into the future on hope, not fear.
