From the shock jock who stood up for free speech, law and order, and great looking babes. From Breast Feed The World to Saving Latin Asses.

Really great story about how Stern used to be the Loudmouthed Hero of the New York Working Man-Commuter, railing against stuck up assholes, bad roads, and Dinkins style Liberal Criminal Coddling. Used. Before he married a hot model and got a slot on America's Got Talent.

By the 2010s, he dumps long time pals Trump, Gottfried, and Dee Snider. His third biography, mostly centered around his more tame era of the past decade, makes the outrageous claim that the guy who ran for Libertarian Governor of NY in 1994, who mocked Dinkins daily and lauded Koch and Guiliani, “As my listeners know, I don’t like talking about my political beliefs on the air.”

He's even gone so far as to sanitize his old classic Broadcasts.

He disowns his former “hard-ass pose,” which he diagnoses as having “provided an almost impenetrable shell that protected me from feeling need.” He even asks readers to do him a favor and throw out their copies of his first two books. In promotional interviews for Howard Stern Comes Again—the incredible number of which seemed to belie his claim that he’d found humility—he repeated this spiel. He once squeezed laughs out of his narcissism; his narcissism now takes the form of tiresome bragging about having purportedly surmounted it.

In any event, this latest round of interviews made for a sad spectacle. A great entertainer was disowning the best part of his oeuvre; a former rebel leader was bowing to the king to win favor at court; a master at skewering high-level hypocrisy had gone over to the other side. “You’ve gone from filth merchant to talk of the town,” Jimmy Kimmel told him in October. Stern’s opening commentaries on the interviews in his new book seem designed to make old fans wince: he considers Madonna “a kindred spirit,” calls Stephen Colbert “very evolved and emotionally connected,” praises Rosie O’Donnell for her “wisdom and graciousness,” applauds Lena Dunham for her “wisdom” and “understanding,” and touts Gwyneth Paltrow’s “humanity.” When Amy Schumer recalls the time her boyfriend touched her without explicit permission and hesitates to call it rape, Stern insists that it was, and concludes by saying, “I want to apologize for all men.” He even manages to work in a sympathetic word for Christine Blasey Ford. And the references to his own “personal growth” keep on coming. After a while, he sounds like someone who’s joined a cult.



We can remember him at his peak, at least.

He fell because he tried to push the Subscription based model down people's throats. He was nothing more than a notch on a radio dial, and nothing more. He thought his shit was worth a $19.99 a month for each device subscription.

He was always a shitty radio host that gave the worst interviews. He just wanted to know if his guest Jerked off that morning or not. Every time he had a guest that actually had something to say, he would drag them down into the toilet and pull out his dick to show them. Countless times, someone was in the middle of saying something important, that I always wondered myself. Only to have Howard Stern interrupt them and ask them stupid shit like did they finger themselves when they were 16. He's a sick Jew Perv Pedo.
I knew Satellite Radio would be the end of him. It's actually shittier than Howard Stern's radio show, how could it have possibly worked?

Fuck Howard Stern. I used to like him, but stopped listening when he went to Sirius. He's a cuck now.

Time to go back to Fartman and Lesbian Foo? Sold out to the Globalist arm twisting? Do they have Stern's Epstein tapes? From provocateur to just another fawning, greasy Hollywood sycophant? Did the midgets and circus freaks he exploited threaten to join a class action against him?

Stay tuned for this non-event.

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. Ever. He’s a money whore but at least I think he knows it. He’ll still die ugly as fuck regardless of how many models want fame and will fake an orgasm with the creep.

He should be credited for implementing real-talk for a while, but yeah since the joined Satellite it was all downhill from then on.

Another Supercuck is Jimmy Kimmel. Complete 180 from the first half of his career.

Dr. Drew and Carolla stayed true. I think Carolla just did something with Prager, actually.

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.

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

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.
