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.

Thank You BBC Radio for the Bob Dylan Special

Regular readers of Bruce's Journal know that I am an avid listener of Sounds of the 60s with Brian Matthew on BBC2. It is heard live at 8 AM on Saturday mornings which is 3 AM in NYC. Thus I must listen to the archived version. In honor of Bob's 70th birthday there are airing a 9 part special. Due to the timing of the shows I must listen to the archived version which is only archived for one week. Apparently there must be a regulation in the UK similar to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act that limits playing radio shows on the internet.

The narrator of these shows is Kris Kristofferson who has been a good friend to Dylan for many years.
