Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

John Lennon was a Red Sox Fan
Yesterday we took a short drive to the Kew Gardens Cinema to see the movie U.S. versus John Lennon. This small theater shows many independent films that are not shown in our local multiplex. Back in the early 1970s tricky Dick Nixon wanted to do anything to be re-elected with a big landslide. Back then John Lennon assosciated himself with political radicals such as Abby Hoffman, Jerry Rubin and others. Lennon was convicted of marijuana posession in England some years bag. Nixon and his stooges like J. Edgar Hoover did everything to get John deported. This was the theme of the movie. There was a scene in the movie showing John and Yoko as hosts of the Mike Douglas show with Bobby Seale as the guest. John was wearing a Boston Red Sox uniform during the show. Hopefully this film will be shown in Prescott or Pagebyrner will have to wait until it comes out in DVD.
