Scott introduces the next show saying "And now stay tuned for WOR' 's
Resident Genius Jean Shepherd"

Technical Difficulties


Cockfight arrests in NYC and on Long Island.

There are 2 kinds of people

Traumatic experiences are never forgotten

Living a life of dullness

Jean Shepherd shows why he was a great story teller in this tale of
Shep and 2 friends who crossed the river from Cincinnati to the dark
wilderness of Kentucky where they witnessed an ugly violet cock fight.
This is one of Jean's all time best WOR radio shows.

Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
