Well, the boyfriend and one good friend are die-hard fans, so I was FORCED to listen against my will many times.

Part of the fight is being free. And now he can do what he wants to do without interferrence. He won't forget the fight. Howard has the memory of an elephant.

Howard even went so far as to hire a sworn enemy to work as part of his new army at Sirrius. bubba the love sponge talked all kinds of shit on Howard Stern, imitated his act and Howard declared him a Howard Clone. Then bubba was fired because of a complaint from these religious fuckfaces who don't know how to mind their goddamned own business and he was blacklisted from radio, literally unable to get a job anywhere else because of his FCC troubles.

When Howard signed his deal with Sirrius, he approached Bubba and asked if he'd like to come over to Satelite because he himself knew what it was like to be unfairly treated and targetted by the FCC and the religious right and he could put aside his own ego and ignore their competitive and adversarial past in favor of a greater good. Despite whatever kind of humor you don't like, if for nothing else all the people who claim any sort of fanhood should support this venture because Howard is a class act

Robin & Howard's speeches were badly cut here in the Bay Area. That in itself was like an ad for Sirius.

Last week I was out of town and I looked for the show on the radio. I thought I had found it over & over, but it was just clone after clone!

I liked that they made a big deal out of leaving. It was cool how one person after aonther left until it was just Howard addressing the radio audience for a second. Even though they're continuing, they know it's not quite the same. It might get better, but it's the end of an era.

OK, here's an example of what I hate about him, other than his lewdness and superficiality toward women.

His cohort told some black joke yesterday on an occasion where I was forced to listen and I watched my usually intelligent boyfriend laugh like a braying jackass....


Something along the lines of What do call a black (fill in the word, like minister, cowboy, etc.)?

Answer: A N**ger.

Yeah, that's funny stuff.

Plus he's like 51 or something like that, and the way he drools over 18 year old girls is just gross.

Sorry, I'm sure he's great for some, but I find him nauseating.

Out of context. They were playing "Stump the Jokeman", a game they used to play when Jackie was there and people are supposed to tell real jokes. I think, I'm not sure, but the guy who told the joke said that answer and he was like drunk or high or something.

(FunkMistress here, out of replies)

I can't get with you on that one, Vinny. Howard does laugh at shit like that, even though he's never made a joke like that himself. I'm not at all comfortable with the way he seems to silently endorse it at times.

The joke was what would you call the Flintstones if they were black. Jackie's answer was 'gorillas'.

sextonseven said:

That's what it was, but he said the N word, not gorillas.

The caller used the N-word. Jackie said his answer to the joke was gorillas.

Rock on Howard (fuck the FCC) but I prefer XM radio if I'm going to have to pay for radio (which I don't) but I'll still tune in once in a while to the E show (if it's still going to be running).

After a few months of being free and being able to say anything he wants it will no longer be shocking and people will stop listening. Part of the fun was watching him straddle the line and now there will be no line. I predict that Sirious goes under partly because of this deal. It screams of desperation.


I liked Howard but he got his ASS handed to him by the KQRS Morning show in Minneapolis.

Hi Mr. Sourpuss Always trying to rain on someones parade...

People will not tire of the religious right and the government not being able to infringe on free speech.

Howard was being scrutinized for the most ridiculous shit and he couldn't even read a transcript of Oprah's own show. All this talk about children is nothing but manipulative bullshit.

Kids are in school when Howard is on. Kids are coming home when Oprah's show is on. So if there is something that Howard cannot even read from Oprah's show without being considered indecent, the government has much more work to do. But they would never target a successful black woman.....

The E show has been over. Are they still playing repeats? He has two channels of programming on On Demand.

I got my Sirius radio recently. Not just for Howard, but I'm tired of the lame ass FM crap. There are no good stations on there and I'm tired of commercials.

On another note, I think the PC left was just as damaging to Stern as the religious right. They certainly didn't give him an easy time over the years either.
