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.

Mets 2 Washington 0 and some Bob Dylan News

Today Karen, Lee and I joined Bill Dillane, Ken Dulberg, and Alan Berman at Citifield to see the Mets play the Washington Nationals. I was not disappointed as Dillion Gee pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings followed by 3 2/3 flawless innings by the bullpen. John Buck hit a home run that went 460 feet.

Box Score

It was a pleasant surprise to find out that Bob Dylan's Never Ending Tour will be returning to the NYC area in late July with supporting acts Wilco, Richard Thompson and My Morning Jacket. On Friday July they will play at the Pier A Park in Hoboken while on Saturday the 27th they will be at the Jones Beach Theater. Since we have seen Zimmy at Jones Beach several times I am interested in the Hoboken venue. However, I really don't want to go to a venue where I'll have to stand. If general admission seats are announced for Hoboken, I'll go to Jones Beach. I am getting a little old for standing up for a concert.
