Michael Moore responds to the wacko attackos...

[FORD]

I wouldn't really know about all of that, because I don't listen to Stern on any regular basis. I think it's great that he's turned on the BCE. I tuned in for a couple minutes right after the whole Clear Channel thing, and thought his tirade against Junior, Asscrotch, and Mikey Powell was great. But his show is still very New York centric (no offense, Hil ) and at 5:45 in the morning, I'd rather hear about what's going on in this part of the world. So even if he DID sign on with Air America, I wouldn't likely switch over. As of now there's no Air America affiliate in this market anyway

The FCC does not have people listening to all stations to see if someone is breaking the rules. It goes by listener complaints and action, in the form of a trial, usually happens around a year-year and a half after the incident occurs and the report is made by listeners.

The broadcast in question was an April 2003 one. The fact that it came to the table in the time period that it did is not suprising. It's just unfortunate, if you want to call it that, that his case came up around the time of Jackson's saggy ham sack.

This small battle with the FCC was and ended no worse that his 1995 battle. The amount was in the same ball park. Howie has this thing of victimizing himself. And if you don't believe me, listen to his show around the time his contracts come up. He always plays it that he doesn't want to do radio anymore and/or the company is going to rip him off or plot against him. Why? It brings him attention. He's a crybaby attention whore.

So now he's turned into a stripper-interviewing anti-Bush host. I think Air America should take some notes and/or make him an offer.

He's washed-up and I don't know why so many people still listen to him. He's not funny anymore.

"Stripper-Interviewing, Anti-Bush host"... ...you say that like it's a BAD thing???

:D :D :D

Hun, just so you know, he's not against the BCE for reasons you are. He's doing it for personal gain.

The censorship and state controlled media that are the result of radio corporatization (and Colin Powell's kid being in charge of the FCC) have threatened Howard's career. If that's what it took to wake him up to the dangers of this Fraudministration, then so be it. I believe he IS serious about it. Stern can be called many names, and he probably would deserve most of them. But I don't see the guy as a liar at all.

[Ally_Kat]

He started on Opie and Anthony before they WNEW took them off in fear of the FCC (and $6000 and community service was all they were charged with) and he had this lovely way of putting words into their mouths of stuff they supposidly said on the air and then trying to take claim of phrases and pranks that were said and done on their show since the Boston days.

Stern lies all the time.

[ELVIS]

That's right.. Stern lies all the time...

Already got tickets to see the movie tonight, so no reason to skip work. Weather sucks anyway.... as it probably will until after the 4th of July. That's more or less traditional around here

What really fucking sucks is that this is the time of year where at least there was a DLR concert to look forward to. But he's apparently not touring this summer. And the Atomic Punks haven't been here in 2 years. And I refuse to see Van Hagar - not that they have a show around here anyway. So it looks like I don't get my live Van HALEN fix in any form this year

He's at the lower East Side, studying to be an EMT. I say it's vacation time.

[ELVIS]

You should have caught that show in Toronto...

[ELVIS]

I should have too for that matter...

[FORD]

What show in Toronto? Hell, I'm still kicking myself for not going there last summer. How often to you get a chance to see The Stones, Ac/Dc, or Rush for $20, let alone all three for that price.

[Ally_Kat]

how funny would that be if we all got together to go to a concent? We'd all be singing and laughing, joking around at the show and then afterwards at the diner we would be tearing each other's head off with politcal views.

Sounds like my kind of night :D

[DLR'sCock]

LOL!!!!! Hey Ally, I hang in NYC quite often...it's not out of the question....

Bumbershoot 2001 was kinda like that. Of course that was the good ol' days when the biggest political issue was still Junior's non-election. 9 days before, to be exact...
