Book Reviews of Jean Shepherd: Life Is (Classic Radio Humor)
Book Review: Just what you remembered! And just what you want...
Summary: 5 Stars
At thirteen I would huddle by the radio, lights out, waiting for 10:15 PM and WOR at the ready: the music began and so did a great 45' of how to look at the crazy world.
My wife got me many of these for Christmas this year, and I listen to them in the car. The problem is that I have to pull off the road sometimes because I am laughing so hard at the things I had forgotten--there are some great pieces here and some great moments.
The only thing I miss is that sort of "Ahhhh..." you used to get at the end of the music at the close of the show.
Well worth the price!!!!
Only regret? You don't get many of the older ones--I guess they weren't keeping tapes. So, these tend to be more mid-60's kinds of things.
Summary of Jean Shepherd: Life Is (Classic Radio Humor)
Radio Again is pleased to present 8 classic radio performances by raconteur Jean Shepherd from the archives of Hartwest Productions.Do you think that we should continue to deal as cleanly and as openly and honestly with the vast intricacies of life... or do you think you re up to it?
Have you ever thought about life? Jean Shepherd did, in his inimitable way, and Life Is will please those who can appreciate the thought and the inherent humor therein. The eight shows in this collection include performances pondering forbidden magazines, playing tuba in the school band, his old man s love of Oldsmobiles, chauffer-driven Ferrari s, home in Hammond, the insidiousness of public relations, and so much more.
Includes liner notes with excerpts from the biography EXCELSIOR, YOU FATHEAD! The Art and Enigma of JEAN SHEPHERD By Eugene B. Bergmann.
8 Audio CDs - Digitally Remastered and Restored. Each program is approximately 44 minutes. Total running time approximately 6 hours.
The radio programs in this collection, long lost and forgotten, were created in the mid 1960 s by Shepherd for radio and television syndicator Hartwest Productions in the format heard on Shepherd s WOR shows of the day, right down to his familiar Bahn Frei theme music.
