Wow, I had the exact same experience when I interviewed Shepherd in Portland in the mid-80's. I had been a huge fan of his, having listened to his nightly radio show on WOR as a kid growing up in NYC. However, during our (off-air)conversation, he kept insisting that I needed to head back to New York if I wanted to make something of myself. However, having grown up there, I knew better, and was disappointed he wasn't more understanding of the pleasure I took living in Portland.
