yes and no
went to see Bruce about 10 years ago at an outdoor concert in Toronto. excellent musician, sure. but after about one hour i was so depressed! i have never felt so bad about being an affluent, white male from and industrialized nation.
never before did i go home from a concert feeling like i should find a large vein and slice it! even Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen don't bum me out like Bruce does. of course, Bruce is an amazing guitarist. maybe it was one if his darker phases....

Bruce Cockburn is nothing less than a musical genious and a spokesman for our times.
