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.

Elvis Presley's Birthday

Here I go again listening to the Beatles and writing a blog entry about Elvis Presley. This morning we were listening to WFUV when Claudia Marshall mentioned that today was David Bowie's birthday. I mentioned to Lee that tonight we should play a David Bowie. Lee had to remind me that today was Elvis' birthday. The king would have been 72 had he lived. I remember back in 1977 I was vacationing in Cape Cod when I heard the news that the King had died. A few years ago, we visited Graceland. Most of the people visiting were not yet born in 1977.
