In the states, Bruce is a total media darling. In fact they all seem to bend over backwards to kiss his ass.
Meat has always been a dark horse in the US media and seems to have to fight for whatever scraps he can get, like Huckabee, which you don't watch unless you are a hardcore conservative Christian.
I will concede that Bruce's songs tend to be more radio friendly. A 3.5 minute semi catchy diddy is easier to get over the air than an 8 minute epic journey. But Meats newer and more radio friendly stuff doesn't seem to get any air play. Bruce could record himself crapping in a bucket and stations would clammer to play it.
Why is Bruce treated like a saint, i have no idea, but i can say that i do not feel that he deserves said treatment.
