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.

Museum of Popular Culture - Sunday July 21

"Guitar Tree" at the Museum of Pop Culture

We bought a CityPass that allows tourists to go to 5 attractions at a significant discount. Our first stop was at the Museum of Pop Culture at the Seattle Center. I would consider it a mini Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, but other genres of popular culture were considered. It was founded in 2000 by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen as the Experience Music Project and is housed in a 140,000 square foot building designed by renown architect Frank Gehry. Current exhibits include:

Pearl Jam Home and Away
Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses
Hendrix; Wild Blue Angel
Prince: From Minneapolis
Infinite Worlds of Science Fiction
Scared to Death: The Thrill of Horror Films
