Show Description

[ Courtesy: Ryan Priest - 03-06-2024 ]   
  Three men have recently announced they are not running for the presidency, even though nobody asked them to.  (Ironically, two them -- Goldwater and Rockefeller -- did indeed run for president in 1964.)  Shep takes that as a queue to announce he will not be running. 

Due to the newspaper strike, Shep is reading anything he can get ahold of.  He found a sports magazine article listing great underdogs...including Wilt Chamberlain and Ernie Banks.

He noticed the use of "Orwellian" language in modern society.  Love is hate, etc.

NEED A COPY OF THIS RECORDING Source description: The Jean Shepherd Show. March 5, 1963. WOR, New York. "I am not running." Goldwater, Romney and Rockefller are also not running. Shep hasn't much patience with his engineer "Walt" (or anyone else in the studio). Underdogs? That's pure Orwell! A broadcast showing the darker side of Shepherd. Jean Shepherd. 33:03. Audio condition: Excellent. Incomplete.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
