Howard wants to get into the clique of media celebs and he hopes his new shtick will get him in the club.

I saw a youtube of him sucking up to Hillary Clinton of all people; it was surreal.

But Howard has always been an insecure nerd with a big mouth from NYC (it's a common species there); guys listening to him would all would recall a wiseass in high school like Howard.

I would no sooner pay to listen to the radio than I would pay to watch a video of myself drinking coffee.

WookieMan says

Never thought he was good at anything. Classic case of a dude with an ego and no skill, but people sucked it up because it was “different.” I’ve literally not once laughed at anything he’s done.

I listened to him in the late 80's and early 90's only because I was doing carpet, he would be blaring on the radio while I drove to the job, and while I was working on it before 10am. It was refreshing because by that time Cox Broadcasting had ruined South Florida's radio market and we were all sick of the same 20 classic rock songs playing in rotation.

After working at the downtown office for 24 years where I could ride the bus, our company moved the drilling and exploration branch to Energy Square at Greenville and University Blvd. close to SMU in 1991, only four miles from home, but because of traffic, it took 30 minutes to get there. Until early retirement at the end of 1997, I'd listen every day and be laughing so hard by the time I pulled into the parking garage I could hardly drive.

People like the Howard that they first listened to. Nobody can genuinely keep the same personality over their entire lives. I don't care much for Howard's political stance now, but he is who he is. Personally, I like the Howard of 1996 to 2009 better than today's Howard. Likewise, I'm not the same person I was twenty years ago, for better or worse. There are options, especially on Sirius. Nobody forces anyone to listen to anything.

This is a 1957 movie starring Andy Griffith, A Face in the Crowd, in an entirely different character which he portrayed for so many years. Directed by Elia Kazan and also starring Patricia Neal it's an intense story about a radio personality, Lonesome Rhodes, who has an initial appeal that eventually goes to his head and everyone turns against him, goes berserk at the end. Apparently there isn't a full version on YouTube anymore, but it's a good movie:

I remember that! Early 90s, every other station was Stairway to Heaven or "Life's been good to me so far" 5x an hour.

Oh they need to dig deeper, I've been waiting for this moment, ever since he first started Trash talking Trump and calling his voters stupid.

This jive ass mother fucker, did many shows in the voice of Thing Fish.

He also once got in an argument with a Haitian lady that called in on the phone to complain.
She was just frantically yelling at him, and wouldn't let him get a word in. So he started repeating the N word over and over until she hung up.
He thought it was such a brilliant stroke of Radio history, that he played clips of it, very often. Usually when they were telling the news or current events and it was a story about a black person.
Back when you could bet that every Spike Lee movie would end in a Riot, he once said they replace all of the seats in movie theaters with bathroom tiles. After the movie was over, they turn on the high pressure hoses to calm them all down.

Best Howard Stern quest was Daniel Carver.

Best Howard Stern show was The Howard Stern Show. Great show.

The difference is that the 90s actually had its own rock music legacy ... Jane's Addiction, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, REM, Metallica, U2 (post-political "Achtung Baby" era) , Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, The Offspring, Counting Crows, etc, etc.

I wasn't necessary to listen to the Eagles, Pink Floyd, or Zep's Stairway, just to get some rock music in one's diet back then.

In contrast, today, we've got nothing.

Right, but at the time as a teen, it was mostly Classic Rock everywhere. Boomers were a huge demo in that era. It was dictatorship of Rolling Stone Mag, if it wasn't 60s/70s Blues Rock, it didn't exist. They barely played any hard rock/hair metal from the 80s, either. Maybe a little Van Halen at best. Otherwise it was Eagles, Led Zep, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zep, Santana, Led Zep.

"That was Immigrant Song and Black Dog by Led Zep, followed by Peter Frampton - Show me the way. After these messages, we'll be getting the Led Out with another 3 songs from Physical Graffitti."

Went to a guitar store, nothing but Satriani and that Texas Guy Whose Name I forget sheet music. Lucky if they had the chords booklet for a single U2 or Police song.

Not that LedZep isn't great, but c'mon.

Most of the good shit, be it Ministry or Thrill Kill Kult or RHCP (before BSSM) was on the college radio station. Ironically, big hair metal rotation on MTV until about 1991-92. Even better than MTV was a UHF/VHF station in Jersey with a guy called Uncle Floyd. Shitty little studio in Secaucus, and then the Ramones or the Beasties or even Bowie would show up. Most of the VJs were interns from local colleges.

I miss the old Howard.

1990 Howard would probably host the International Trans Antifa Strip Poker Championship.

"Are you hiding the King of Spades up your Mangina, Nic?"

Oh well, not the first schmuck to sell out and keep going past his prime.

Random factoid: Sherman Hemsley, the guy who played George Jefferson, was a huge Stoner Rock/Space Rock fan.

Well for better or worse, when you're as big of a star as Roger Waters, or Howard Stern, and the shaped so many people's lives, indirectly, growing up. Only for them to turn into first class dick heads and berate their fans over their political views Then fuck that asshole, it's time to burn his legacy. I have often said, I find Jerry Garcia's passing in 95 comforting in retrospect, that he didn't hang around another 20 - 30 years to have turned into a Trump Deranged NPC. The folks who never had a number one hit, or were only one hit wonders, are turning out to be more genuine, than the guys that did make it. And now thumb their noses at the people who supported them and made them all of those years ago.

I was never a fan of Guns and Roses, my daughters bought four tickets for them and me and my wife. I had a new respect for them, because they just played their damn show without injecting politics into it. Though I did find the theme of the LED screen artwork, was about a Virus escaping and mutating, through out the show as a nod without having to run their mouth. Even if it had been pro or anti-vax or mask. They just let the stage animation do their trash talking for them. Without having to piss a lot of people off.

Lol. My original comment still stands. The guy has always been out of whack. An ugly loser that made ugly losers feel good about themselves. That didn't change dick in the long term. Was and always will be a loser. And I don't care about wealth. I know wealthy losers living in misery. Not funny. Not entertaining. He's a thin, weak, fag. I don't usually wish ill will on anyone, but I'm hoping for a headline that it was too soon for him to die. It's not. His life and BS have all been made up and lies. There's not a genuine bone in that persons body. Nope can't call him a man because that he is not.

Well, being consumed by an OC disorder phobia that makes living in the real world a daily neurotic/psychotic acting out hell sounds to me like enough punishment on an ongoing basis. It's over vigilance of self grooming consciousness, or hyper survival instinct gone awry.

Some people think this is a sort of virtue or advantage. I'll leave it up to the eye of the beholder.

However, being a celebrity lemming leading others to their doom as a concentration camp guard is another issue. Do they know any better, and they do it anyway as a condition of their fame and contracts? Does personal belief follow personal gain as an unquestioning narcissistic condition?

One man's mental illness becomes the doom of many?

yeah when Stern didn't sell out to the Woke mob like Saturday Night Live did

that was surreal when Daniel Carver gets an award from Howard in one episode and goes on about how Jewish people manipulate and keep down African Americans

WookieMan says

One theory is that after he lost a fuck ton of money in his divorce, he had decided to become a sell out to make up the loss.

Howard Stern is demanding that all Trump supporters must stop listening to his radio show.

They got to him, simple as that. He was always a beta cuck.

If you want to thrive, than lie, baby, lie for the honor of the Switzerland ticker tapes. Stern probably has a secret, out of sight closet with a shrine to Trump for saving his scabby ass.

Booger says

Does anyone listen anyway? He's a turd. Never thought he was entertaining or good at whatever he thought he was doing.

Weird, probably autistic tick, but his voice is like nails on a chalkboard. I hear him, but cannot listen to him. So it's senseless to even turn it on. The black bitch is annoying as well, Robin. I've always thought it has been a bad show. Like me on patnet or not, I'm generally a good judge of character and trust. Stern bends to what he wants. Never been about people who consume his content. He's an ass hole, and I'd point and just laugh at the ugly fuck if I were to meet him.

Good old days, you could say whatever you want on tv.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he's just another Mockingbird chirp anti. Success and an audience trumps sincerity, so roll out the pathetic circus freaks.

One would truly be a fool to pay for satellite radio just to hear Howard.

He's like the funny kid in junior high school; vulgar, lowbrow humor can be funny.

yeah I remember Daniel Carver on Howard Stern's TV show

was even shocked back then when I saw Carver on TV while in school, as I thought it was an act at first and not real , like when Howard Stern gave Carver an award and the first thing Carver said was "The Joos control the N*ggers"

Howard Stern was the Joe Rogan of shock. His show had worldwide potential. Back in the day, I used to think that Howard Stern was a legend. No one had characters like Daniel Carver or Beetle Juice. He would have outrageous contests (like mom-daughter stripping contest). He would ask female interviewers about what was going on there (meaning vagina)!. Now he has turned into a bitch.

Agree. He was the king of raunch and that was fun when I was younger. He did very well with a segment of the population that likes that kind of thing. I mean, come on, he had a TV show (on cable, I think). That show was funny as hell and there's no way you could do that again. Shame.

You have to sign in but, here is a segment with Daniel Carver, Gary the retard and Gay Rich...https://youtu.be/_k3-qcQsMZc?feature=shared

Opinions are opinions, so not shitting on anyone. Stern was never funny. I listened enough. It was bad. Resorting to being raunchy and offensive is lazy comedy and content. Childish and unintelligent. He's one of the few celebs I'd laugh when he dies, which can't happen soon enough (not a threat).

Of course but, don't hate the player, hate the game. Raunch may be lowbrow but, it sells. Did you ever find Benny Hill funny? For the record, I too, think he's a turd.

GNL says

Raunch may be lowbrow but, it sells.

I get the point. I just think it's sad. If I do a scale of 1-10 on friends you immediately lose 3-4 points if you tell me you like Howard Stern.

I'll hang out with you still. Just know I have no respect for you if you thought Stern was funny and must listen/watch content. I also find the guys that like Stern are the rapey type. Not sure if it was an influence or not, but they tend to be scumbags.

Someone above mentioned Rogan. Rogan blows away Stern by a long short. He's a family man. Yes he swears. Yes he'll talk about women. But he's not putting on some variety show of grossness. And I've mentioned I'm not religious at all, but have my own moral compass. Stern is a pile of trash and I hope covid kills him or the vaccine he took. Robin is a weak female to put up with his shit for decades as well. I'm not a feminist, but I hate weak females.

She's worth about $75,000,000

Again, not a dig on you, but who the hell knows her worth? No one. Maybe it's leaked from the people that cut the check, but this isn't sports with a salary cap. And who knows how she spent her money.

Also, powerful women isn't about money either. You're in the RE game. You know them when you see them. Robin was an early DEI hire that made his antics okay. Black and female. She was/is a pawn for him to make a billion. She got workplace cucked.

Celebrity fortunes tend to be exaggerated to the max for effect, like the fake coined billionaires. They can be unzipped rather quickly, it seems, so most of it is lifestyle promotion while they hold the public's attention.

I still remember Ed McMahon being promoted by Johnny Carson as being some kind of ultra wealthy guy. He went bankrupt in his old age and lost his shirt before dying, and one wonders how such things happen. One thing, he had a lavishly spendthrift wife.

I'm only mentioning it just to show that he and her were popular enough to make it big and for that kind of dough, tons of women would gladly do what she did. All she did mostly was laugh at his antics.
