- Hello all
-
-
- Well, I have had a chance to listen to Howard Stern (in Chicago)
- for a couple of weeks now, and now I feel I can give my opinion
- of his work.
-
- I really tried to give his show a chance, listened to it every day at
- least for the past 2 weeks. At first I thought, not too bad, maybe this
- guy can be as good as people claim.
-
- Well, as the days went by, it became obvious that I just don't get this
- guy's appeal. I mean, the show seems to be nothing more than a
- commercial for his video, for himself, etc. ALL he seems to do is
- constantly plug his video. Is he so insecure that he practically
- has to beg everyone to order his video?
-
- Also, on one show he is slamming this Gennifer Flowers chick (Clinton's
- gal), and then a few days later, she is on his show, and he is basically
- kissing her ass, an ass he called big a few days earlier.
-
- Sorry for all that like this guy, but I have to admit I don't
- care for his show, he is a little too high on himself, and his cohort
- is also very annoying.
-
-
- The guy has a right to be on the radio if there are enough people out
- in the world that like his show, so I don't have any problem with that.
- By the way, I have what most would consider a very sick sense of humor,
- so it isn't that I don't like him because I find him offensive. I just
- have found his show to be boring.
-
- I think WLUP in Chicago really screwed up by getting him on the AM,
- and putting Steve & Garry on FM. It is enough for me to even give up on
- the station totally.
-
- Anyway, just my opinion(s), hope I don't offend any fans. I'm sure I'll
- "turn" my radio dial to Howard from time to time, just to see if things
- have changed, but I don't hold out much hope.
-
- Later
