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.

Remembering Lou Reed from Singing Foot of Pride at the Bobfest

I heard the news today about the passing of Lou Reed best known as the singer, vocalist and songwriter for the Velvet Underground. I best remember him for his performance of the Bob Dylan rarity of Foot of Pride played at the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert in 1992 known at the Bobfest. I remember I could not get tickets for this historic concert, but saw it on Pay Per View and heard the simulcast on WNEW-FM. When Lou played Foot of Pride, I just could not recognize the song. Dylan's version can be heard on Bootleg Series Volume 1-3. I am sorry to hear of Lou's passing.
