Article about Bruce going to Bangor for his son Ozzie's graduation. It mentions that he had a quintuple bypass. Geeze. Anyone know when this article is from?

Every time you spell Smile as SMiLE, an angel's wings are forcibly torn off its body.

Actually, the real Bruce died in a car accident in 1966 and was replaced by an imposter. If you listen to Disney Girls backwards, it says "Bruce is dead, Bruce is dead!"

Oh wait...that's Paul McCartney. Never mind. Just continue this topic as if nothing happened.

Bruce had his bypass around the time Brian released SMiLE (I thought earlier than AGD's date but I'll take that).

Bruce was posting a lot to the BBB board during his recovery from the surgery, and saying how much he appreciated that Brian had phoned him during his convalescence. He also clearly had an unofficial DVD of an early SMiLE performance from the RFH and was saying how great it was.

As I recently got shouted down and sneered at on this site for not knowing that one of Dennis' ex-wives had died a few years ago - I'd thought it was a recent event - how is it that not knowing Bruce ALMOST DIED is a perfectly resonable thing to be unenlightened about....? Sorry, just pointing it out...

This point-making sounds familiar. Is this my wife posting? Undecided

Yes honey, and if you don't get off this website and give that hallway carpet a good vacuuming there'll be no nookie for a fortnight. I mean, just LOOK at the state of it...

A fortnight is 2 weeks, right?
