AquaFox

did anyone watch his last FM show ever today? i listened to 40 mins in my car and watch some of the yahoo webcast online for awhile...



and did anyone here actually buy a Sirius radio just for Howard? ... or are you giving up being a stern fan?

i just picked mine up this month but mostly want it for the commerical free music, since our local FM sucks... but howard helped me pick Sirius over FM since atleast i know after i get it, there will be one fimilar voice

good move for sirius... bad move for howard... losing 9 million listeners in the process.... oh well... i guess money is more important to him than reaching out to his listeners...

Yikes, barenaked...you in chicago?

Honestly, I think mancow is a tool. He was run out of San Francisco many years ago after pissing off the entire commuter population of the Bay Area while trying to pull a dumbass publicity stunt. After Clinton tied up airport traffic to get a haircut, Mancow - who at the time was a DJ for KMEL, SF's hip hop station - decided to block traffic on the Bay Bridge to get a haircut during morning rush hour. He was fired.

Now he's on Q101, a sorry excuse for an alternative station with a sorry excuse for a radio personality. Sorry, barenaked, but I seriously hope this man gets a basketball sized boil on the tip of his penis.

I was also never a fan of Howard Stern, always feeling like he pandered to the lowest common denominator in his entertainment.

For anyone in the SF Bay Area who remembers the Quake and the early days of Live 105, Alex Bennett was the best of morning radio DJs. Of course, Live 105 was bought out by corporate, Alex was let go, and Howard Stern was pumped in. Alex and Howard detested each other and a lot of Live 105 fans saw bringing in Stern as a betrayal to them.

Eh, I listen to XM now, anyways, so all the FM hijinx no longer matter to me.

I *used* to be a mancow fan, many years ago (when he first came onto Q101). I've never been a Stern fan. I think he's an idiot, but I also think that's supposed to be the idea hehe.

Anyways, on with my rant.. Q101 isn't that bad. I flip them on occasionally, and they're no worse than any other commercial radio station. I like how they're playing "old" stuff as often as new. Don't rag on Q101

Mancow had KINKS lead guitarist Dave Davies play privately at his wedding...... that's all I know about Mancow.
