It was in California, near or in Los Angeles, at some hotel. I don’t think I have any first-hand specifics handy anymore, and I couldn’t find anything with a quick Google search.

Oh hey, Wayback Machine to the rescue again. It was on May 10, 1997 at the Burbank Hilton. Full details in my old newsletter: https://web.archive.org/web/20001205172600/http://alabanza.com/jer/bruce/sd9.html

Holy shit, I forgot all about Real Audio! That preceded MP3s for popular compressed music formats. At least that's how I remember it.

Those notes are on the 2005 2CD releases and if I recall correctly, they used the same notes in the vinyl re-releases too, so yeah, it should be there. I'm not 100% sure if those remarks about Skunkworks era were on the Skunkworks or AoB booklet, but yeah, he dropped that brief mention of finding his range again somewhere.

Bruce has been made an Honourary Group Captain in the Royal Air Force.

This means he might be part of the RAF fencing competition this year, which is another non-music thing for him to do.

Bruce Dickinson was enrolled into the service on Monday and could compete for the Royal Air Force Fencing team later this year.

The dates of the competition mentioned in that article clash with some of his musical commitments, so I think it is highly unlikely he will be taking part in any of those competitions this year.

Well there's always next year to avoid music.

You will be disappointed, as it is highly likely there will be some Maiden live shows, as has been the case every calendar year since 1999 with the exception of 2015 for obvious reasons.

Please try and pay some attention at last to the way honorary is actually spelled you Wizzard you.

I think there may be some sort of Buckaroo Bruce game going on - lets see how many things we can pin on him before he flips ...

Well, the man is now a doctor without actually graduating; a captain without actually having been a soldier... What's next? We know for sure that he actually likes the honors.

To be fair to him, he was in the TA before going to University and at least went to University in a time when that was relatively rare. There are too many musicians (Iommi, Page, Rodgers) being awarded honorary doctorates and the closer they have ever been to a University was to play a gig at the Students' Union.

Actually that's not quite correct - he did graduate with a 2.2 for his first degree which was in history (but his honorary doctorate was in music) and has spent some time in the TA (although I don't think he was ever anywhere near the RAF).
But for the rest, yeah it does certainly seem that way at times

He also did graduate with the Honourary Doctorate, he just didn't have to write a thesis for it. I wonder if Bruce did a PhD if the thesis would read anything like his book...

You mean he turned up for the ceremony, wearing the obligatory robe and silly hat?
