Since I'm always happy to oblige, even when I'm limited by certain self-imposed moratoria, I will suggest that Bruce, who has in the past made some occasional poor judgments -- see Phillips, Julianne; Kerry, John; and Touch, Human -- seems to have forgotten, or at least willfully ignored, the lesson of one of his greatest and most painfully honest songs:

Is that you, baby, or just a brilliant disguise?
