Hi everybody. I guess that most of you know that in school days is, or it used to be usual to receive nicknames. Of course, I wasn't an exception. My surname, Brucet, is not very common in my country, Catalunya, so my fate was to receive a nickname. Some boys called me "Brutet" (in catalan, slightly dirty) or "Gosset" (litlle dog), but the most usual was cut down my surname to "Bruce", for Bruce Springsteen. "The boss" is not one of my main musical references, but, well, it's definitely better than other nicknames. I could have been worst, I hadn't stood one related with Bono or Phil Collins.
