Bruce on Rolling Stone's Top 100

And he doesn't even play air guitar! Bruce was #74 on Rolling Stone's list of 100 people who are changing the world. Of course, Neil Young made the list too (but lower down). Here's what RS said about Bruce:
The director of the Move Beyond Coal campaign, Nilles is Big Coal's worst nightmare: an aggressive, strategic lawyer who knows how to monkey-wrench the industry. Behind Nilles' efforts, the Sierra Club claims to have stopped plans for 24 new coal plants in the U.S. last year.
Despite all the accolades, Bruce remains totally unpretentious. There's a great photo of him in RS. It doesn't tell you he's wearing a hand me down shirt. Looks good on him though. Hope to see him here for some prairie burning in a couple of weeks.

Wow — above Neil Young! But then I just think of it as all in the family.

what's wrong with hand-me-down shirt? And...in this economy?!!! Maybe it was your shirt?

It was Tom Troller's shirt and Tom has excellent fashion sense. He may never make RS, but his shirt did.
