This was written last summer, but it's a really great analysis. Just stumbled upon it. It's a bit gushy, so fair warning if you're not into that. But it's a really good read that really nails it for the most part.
Figured I'd post it here in light of DACrowe's post, since a lot of the article is about Bruce's journey.
