Ah, The Perils of the Ego Trip (and the incredible fall)
So, it seems the mighty have stumbled on their own ungainly egos. Howard Stern, who as far as I can tell is famous for being rude and treating women very poorly (let's face it - he's no gentleman) is astounded that more of his audience didn't follow him from free-radio to pay-radio. He used to perform for 12 million listeners on a daily basis, but recent ratings data suggests he now only grosses out 1-2 million.
I've never seen the appeal of his show, so I don't find it surprising that he failed to get people to follow him to satellite and pay for the pleasure of his titty talk. In all honesty, I find him to be reprehensible, crass, and a poor excuse for a comedian (that's how he's alluded to in the article).
Perhaps even more telling is Stern's own words on his disappearing audience:
"You haven't come with me yet? How dare you?" Stern told Entertainment Weekly. "We're up to wild, crazy stuff; the show has never sounded better."
Perhaps he isn't worth his pricey price tag. Ya think?
Whatever. I'd rather listen to a cow chew his cud, or 3rd graders play the violin. Or another lecture from the MIL.
