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.

This is a Good Night - A New Bob Dylan Book and the Mets Start the World Series

I received the books seen above from Amazon.com when I came home tonight. I didn't have to schlep it from a bookstore :). Anyway it is an encyclopedia of all the songs that Dylan recorded in chronological order. The compilers give their interpretation of the songs and list all the musicians at the sessions. I just had a little time to skim through it before dinner and Jeopardy. I am impressed with what I have seen. Remember Dylan's songs are vague and open to interpretation. This is a big coffee table book so I won't be able to take it on the trains to work.

In 10 minutes I will turn off my computer and watch the Mets play in the World Series for the first time in 15 years. I will have more on that in future journal entries.
