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.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
It was a rainy and dreary day today so it was off to the multiplex. Lee picked Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. This was a parody of biopics of rock stars. The Dewey Cox character greatly resembled Lee's favorite, Johhny Cash. He married young and had several children and then feel in love with another musician who was a dead ringer for June Carter. The Dewey Cox character later in the movie "became" Bob Dylan. That segment was filmed in black and white as a take off on Don't Look Back. There was also a scene with Dewey and the Beatles with the Maharishi in India doing the transcendental meditation thing. Other rock stars that were referenced in the film included Jerry Lewis Lewis, Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, the Temptations and the Partridge Family. Lyle Lovett, Jackson Browne, Jewel and Eddie Vedder actually appeared.
