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.

Paul McCartney was at Met Life Stadium Last Night, but I Wasn't There

Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen sing Glory Days

It is certainly a major event when a mega superstar like Paul McCartney gives a concert. Last night he performed at Met Life Stadium in New Jersey. At least two of my Facebook friends, Leslie and Don were there. It must have been a big surprise when New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen joined Paul to sing Glory Days.

I didn't go since it would have been a pain to travel to East Rutherford. If I drove, I would have to pay a fortune in parking and tolls and would have to fight traffic to get there. The other alternative would be to take New Jersey Transit from Penn Station. As I have documented many times, I had enough of that agency commuting from NYC to Newark for 25 years.

I am sure that everyone at the concert enjoyed themselves. One must view the large video screen at such a large venue to see the performers. I did see Paul McCartney in concert at Citi Field in 2009.
