I'm pleased and impressed by all the posts about Jean Shepherd, many-talented American genius! There's lots more to experience about his art in many fields at www.flicklives.com. And there's lots more to know about all of Shepherd's life and work in my book: EXCELSIOR, YOU FATHEAD! THE ART AND ENIGMA OF JEAN SHEPHERD. It was published in March 2005 and got a fair number of country-wide reviews and interviews of me about it (most of the audios archived on the flicklives site).
