I wish he was...Jimmy Shorts & Kevin Matthews now work in Grand Rapids, MI, at the same radio station where Kev started his radio career circa 1978, classic rocker WLAV-FM. If you want a megadilldose of Kev & Jimmy anytime, check out www.kevhead.com or www.wlav.com. I miss those two, and it's terrible that they're not working in Chicago anymore! :x

Jim Shorts was the man in the late 80s/early 90s, but that act got lame fast. Mathews stuck around a little longer than he should have, but at least he made some cash out of it. The whole shtick sounds stupid now.

Jim Shorts, Big Doug, Bookie Rabbi, Harry Caray, Chet Chit Chat

Any radio geniuses see a theme yet?

I had a great compilation of Jim Shorts bits back in the day, 30 mins of Jim stuff. Was fabulous.

Those arguments were hilarious, as Harry kept butchering Jimmy's name along with Kev's...Besides, I remember when Jim did "The Cavalcade of Sports" for producer John Roach on the defunct SportsChannel...Talk about "Wayne's World, Wayne's World!"
