Howard Stern, idiot perverted disc jockey, or innovating genius who changed radio broadcasting forever. This man have reached a mass audience with his sexually explicit, vulgar show laced with wild antics like have a woman having sexual relations by herself, on a bass stereo, or being so not politically correct when having mentally challenged guest on and calling him a retard. Love him, or hate him, you got to hand it to the guy; he's sure is resilient. He fought the FCC from the very beginning because he believe he had the freedom of speech and no one is going to take it away from him. He was fired from numerous radio stations but the man just kept coming back because the radio stations knew no matter how they fought, this man brought in listeners. He was #1 in ratings for many years.
Howard Stern is a man who really is a "give it like it is" kind of guy. He opened doors so stations know that the FCC can't muffle your opinions and views, as crude or offensive as it may be. He influenced the radio medium by kicking and screaming against censorship. He created a whole new way to approach radio.
I just didn’t really care much for his shows. I am not his target audience. From what I know about him, I thought he was a joke. Didn’t he try to run for governor, or something? Before this class, I just knew he was the guy who you go to for gross humor, and listen about sexual things. I know that much. And no, I didn’t crawl out of some cave or was chronologically frozen and have recently been thawed; I just never really cared about the fuss people were making over him.
