Ironically I've been a Sirius subscriber practically since it began and yet I've never listened to the Howard Stern station even one time. Last time I heard Howard Stern was on terrestrial radio some 30 years ago. Even then, he was old hat with his sophomoric jokes about breasts and farts. You have to be a 15 year old boy to fully appreciate them.
Stern has always been an insecure boy who never quite grew up. He did have the vision to see how being a "shock jock" could make him famous and rich but it was all just an act. The real Howard Stern is nowhere close to the character you hear on the radio.
The problem is, Stern went Hollywood, and kisses Hollywood’s ass now.
