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.

Another Visit to the Paley Center

I hadn't been here in over a month so Karen and I went over and did a few searches "on the fly". We saw:

Carole King: A New Color in the Tapestry - this was a concert shown on PBS. No date was given.
American Masters - The Life and Times of Allen Ginsburg. This aired in September 1997, a few months after his death from liver cancer. This documentary profiles poet Allen Ginsberg through interviews with family, friends, and colleagues; archival footage; and clips of television appearances and poetry readings.
American Masters - Joan Baez: How Sweet the Sound. This documentary explores the lives and achievements of folk singer/songwriter and political activist Joan Baez, tracing her fifty-plus years in entertainment. It includes interviews with Roger McGuinn and Bob Dylan. It included some footage with Dylan that I don't remember seeing before. It originally aired in October 2009.
