But he did do something that was very valuable early in his career, which is he made Bruce believe in himself even more.

He says one of Mike's talents that was that he could get you excited about yourself.

And he presents this young, green, uneducated musician, one of the worst contracts in history.

He says we would split everything 50-50.

The problem is that all expenses would end up coming out of my half.

The whole thing was overreaching and counterproductive, leading to a lot of damage in the end.

But who was I to say?

He was just excited to be signed.

I wanted to collide with the times and create a voice that had musical, social, and cultural impact.

I was not modest in the assessment of my abilities.

I thought I was the realest thing you'd ever seen.

I had a huge ego, and I'd built up the talent and craft to pursue my ambitions with years of playing experience and study.

I had my doubts, and I had a sense of humor about the balls I had and the big bite I was trying to take, but damn, that is where the fun was."

i was a natural it was in my bones and so he actually gets signed to the same record label as dylan's columbia records this is he's describing what happens after we climbed to the heavens and spoke to the gods who told us that we were spitting thunder and throwing lightning bolts it was on it was all on after the years of waiting of struggling towards that something that i thought might never happen it had happened

And so Bruce is about to release his first album ever, and this is how he describes it.

As my first album drew to a close, I was nervous about my rock and roll dream finally coming to fruition.

Did I make a good record?

On a national level, would I cut it?

Was I who I thought I was, who I wanted to be?

I truly didn't know, but I knew I was about to find out.
