Bruce's Journal

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.

It is not necessary to get nasty on message boards

To be fair the New York Radio Message Board has provided good discussions of issues in programming and other management issues in the radio business. This week WCBS-FM is being innovative in airing their entire playlist from A-Z. Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion on this or other topic. There is a very long thread on this message board which has become extremely nasty. Whether it is in radio, politics, or anything else be it in cyberspace, telephone, or face to face communication people can always disagree but should always be respectful of the others' opinions.
I am very intigued by this programming. I wish I had more time to listen to the station because they are airing many records not usually played. I can't blast my radio in the NJIT Library :)
