Growing up in Detroit, we were not a city that had his nationally syndicated morning show, so I’d never heard of him until he started doing TV – first David Letterman, then his own local show on WOR on New York and, through the miracle of cable, everywhere else. I liked it. Not because it was great, it was just fair most of the time, but because it seemed to be pushing...

Howard Stern is now a big pharma/government stooge, who is so scared of his own shadow and filled with so much hate and bitterness, he can hardly see straight. Now, instead of fighting for the little guy, you can often find Howard lashing...
