Show Description

Was in St Louis this past weekend. Talks about Pat Weaver (Former NBC President) and his admiration for him. I believe that in 20 years the world that we live in is going to be so different from the world we know today. . . It will be practically like living on another planet. Americans are constantly being criticized for being very commercial people, but in action we are not.

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