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.

Triplicate Arrived Today

You can't run to record stores to buy a new release because they just don't exist anymore. So instead I received a package from Amazon.com since I pre-ordered Dylan's new 3 CD set. I am just disappointed since there are no new Dylan compositions here. They are all covers of adult standards from years ago. There is actually a track called P.S. I Love You, but it was not the same song done by the Beatles in 1962.

Tempest released in 2012 was the last Dylan album with his compositions. Does he write songs anymore? How long will this adult standards phase last? And the beat goes on.
