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.

Bob Dylan's Forever Young by Blake Shelton at the End of the Movie Max

Usually when the credits begin to roll at the end of a movie, people begin to leave. At the end of Max, a film about a military dog, I was pleasantly surprised to hear Bob Dylan's Forever Young by Blake Shelton. It is an excellent cover of one of Dylan's finest songs.

My name is Kat DelGrande and the company I work for is creating a book filled with stories, memories, photos and more from Bob Dylan's biggest fans. We are going to collect the 100 best contributions, pay to create this high-quality book, and give it to Bob Dylan in the next few months.
The company I work for is called Weeva, and we create these books and stories. I saw that you posted on milliondylanfans and said that you've been a fan since you heard "Like a Rolling Stone" on the radio. I was hoping that this would be of interest to you. July 25 is coming up, and that is the date when Bob Dylan took the stage at the Newport Folk Festival. So many fans booed at him because he decided to go electric. However, later that week, Dylan hit #2 in the American charts, after "Like a Rolling Stone" was released. Maybe you remember this, or remember hearing that song for the first time on the radio.
I would love to read any story that you have about your favorite Bob Dylan memory, or what his music means to you.
Please email me at katdelgrande@weeva.com if you would like to talk about this more!; July 13, 2015 at 4:49 PM
