Show Description

[ Courtesy: Ken Applegate - None ]   
  1st Hour
Shep holds a pseudo convention in the Limelight! 

Election politics of dry towns that boarder wet towns (Bristol, Tenn.?) Smoky Joe's strong arm politics, money talks nobody walks.

Red Garter Band

2nd hour- A great picture is painted, "Have you ever had the feeling that you are  some forgotten actor in a gigantic pageant; where everybody has  fantastic lines and a great script; and you have just been told to go  out and ad-lib; and they say ad-lib on cue; and then they forget to  tell you what the cue is . . ." 

Shep talks about accidents in time, that the breaks are always given to  the other guy. And how some technicians at various transmission relay stations get their revenge.

'Mexican Museum erects huge idol, interest in ancient rain God overshadows elections' according to the New York Times. What if the average man observed an actual mythological happening? 

Finally an ARMY story about elections in the military.

Comments

• Shep predicts the future election of an actor as a president (again).

Needs to be ID'd
A group from the Red Garter plays rag time compilation of 'I'm the Sheik of Araby' and 'When You're Smiling the Whole world Smiles with You .' Followed by another tune I can't name. Then they do 'Michael Row the Boat Ashore', 'We Shall Overcome', and 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot.'

"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
