I could listen to this cat non-stop forever.

Today Jean would've been 100. Happy 100th birthday, Jean.0

This has to be one of Shep's best. (Of the 70s)

I'd love to know the composer and player for the pretty "vagabond music" in the background.

Jean didn't mention the loss of water pressure at the beginning of halftime at the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl started in 1967, 8 years before this broadcast.

*"Jean Shepherd, the Visionary"* : 13:01 . "...if we could...[speed up the human voice] to 7,000...8000 words per minute, just think of the number of commercials we could do...ha ha" . 41:32 to end of clip, being known as the "Beer Tab People" via future civilization's excavation of (new vocabulary word coming up:) 'Midden Heaps', which no longer smell, in Secaucus.... However, Shep had NOT envisioned non-removable beer can tabs, nor how Secaucus would become a mini-metropolis LOL!
