The Return of Bruno

up.

They need one piece of vital information, a tape from a scientist, and it's not Bruce Willis' seminal album, The Return of Bruno.

You wish it was.

oh yes

So sad.

But there's some stuff in this story you might not know, you know, uh, beyond the murder-suicide that ended his life, including all the album covers he designed in the '70s before he shifted gears to comedy.

He was a roadie.

He once held Jimi Hendrix's drummer's kick drum pedal together in the middle of a show.

Um, oh, oh, also, I forgot to mention, y- this whole concept you, y- you're talking about in this, in, in the, in the, uh, the guise of this, uh, So Bad It's Good thing, but this concept about, you know, movies you don't wanna tell everybody that you like, you, you don't want people to know that you, that you like this, like, guilty pleasure, whether it's movies or, or music.

And, and, you know, as much as I like to think that I'm evolved to the point where I no longer have to be embarrassed about what [chuckles] what I watch or what I listen to, I gotta admit, I sometimes still am.

And, uh, I'm reminded of this time back in the early 2000s when Justin Timberlake's debut solo album came out, Justified.

And, uh, I remember all the, like, indie kids, people that were super into indie music, like, were smuggling this CD, like, halfway in their stack of CDs they would buy at the CD store.

Bruce Willis' band.

The Return of Bruno.

Joe Pesci had an album.

But yeah, Pat McAfee put this album out, and he was real...

He does covers of other acts that are not country acts.

The Return of Bruno.

Oh, Bruno, yes.

The Return of Bruno is the Bruce Willis harmonica.

The Return, like, it's the Return, like, where was he the first time around? Like, what was the first, you know?

He's the original Chris Gaines.
