I am a fan of his, every since he came on the local radio station here, probably in 92 or something - I have met him in person as well. He is actually pretty shy in person. His radio personally is definately part shtick... I do not agree with everything he says or beleives, but he is entertaining!

I used to feel the same way about Howard Stern, and listened to him back in his early days in Hartford, up through probably just a few years ago.
Now I think his show is pure, unadulterated crap and can't stand to listen to him. He's pretty much become a one-trick pony, every show some variation on porn stars and/or bathroom humor.
I must be getting old or something, because when I listen to talk radio, I want to hear shows that inform and make me THINK in order to form my own opinion... it seems that nearly every commercial radio talk show these days exists solely for people who aren't very smart -- they're either low-brow entertainment or some ranting nutball TELLING the listeners how to think and what their opinions ought to be.
Unfortunately, I suppose the market itself demands this type of programming... most people don't WANT to think for themselves, it apparently takes too much effort. Sheesh!
