Radio raconteur Jean Shepherd could be heard in 38 states at night blasting from WOR's 710 MC transmitter in the Jersey swamps. Back when a tranny was not someone with gender issues, I would pretend to sleep with a transistor radio pressed against my ear to listen to the late night ramblings of Shep, a great story teller. I think Shep was the best thing that ever came out of a radio speaker, yet he is on record as saying his radio work was trivial, hack work, and a man whose legacy are works depicting family life, he was not much of a dad or husband and abandoning his first family altogether. I miss the S.O.B. and Flick Lives!
