Christmas Eve 1971 was a Friday night. Shepherd says he hopes people are doing something better than listening to his show. As for me, I can't think of a better way to spend a Christmas Eve than listening to Shepherd tell a Christmas story.

The times were much better then, and the Shep was a great part of that. He would be 100 years old now, but I remember listening to him over half a century ago, when he was a younger man than I am now. Man how the time flies by, and it's amazing how much you love the past, once it's past, and only really appreciate life when you start to approach the end of it. A little Shep wisdom, I've gleaned from his broadcasts that are forever traveling into the great cosmos and beyond. Night all.

Times were NOT better in 1971. War was still raging. Which rose colored glasses are you wearing?

@@J-ellO Oh things were always "better" back in the day . We glamorize the past and forget the bad parts. Why years from now some one will say " Things were better when I was growing up, the air was still somewhat breathable and we got to eat an extra potato every second week instead of Soylent Green all the time which was quite yummy in it's own right" ... Then some one else that's younger will chime in with "You're crazy, that Soylent Green was made from people with contaminated brains and that potato was actually congealed recycled poop."....Then another one will chastise the young guy for ruining the older man's memories of fun times 🤣

What a story. "Jean Shepherd's Dark Christmas", sequel to "A Christmas Story"! Movie-worthy.

The Jibez Dawes poem was savage and quite fitting for 2020. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

73' K2ORS from WB2MVU! Thanks for repeating the "Dead Flies in the Bottom of The Coke Bottle" after that long ago QSO. I hope you are looking down from that great ham shack in the sky! I wish you could have been preserved with cryonics.

They still do the Yule log on WPIX. It's been a LI/NYC TV tradition like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade/March Of The Wooden Soldiers double feature.
