Howard Stern's Last Day On Terrestrial Radio

You probably know that Howard Stern is moving to Sirius radio. Today was his last day and in poor weather and the looming possibility of a strike there was still quite a crowd to greet and escort Stern to his new home.

There was nothing particularly special about any of the speeches, including Howard's. They were all pretty much standard run of the mill stuff, except for Artie. Artie was on MadTV, got drunk and kicked off. I posted a little something that addressed Artie a little earlier this week. Artie is a long time fan of the Stern show so he feels particularly blessed to be on the show.

He addressed the fans not as someone in the industry, but as a Representative of the fans. Screaming at the top of his lungs he express his gratitude to the fans and his love for the show. The audience seemed to understand the sincerity and depth of the bond. He really knew how to capture the love of the crowd. Plus he was drunk... And asked the crowd to pass him up a Vicodin.

So to Howard, Robbin, Fred, Gary and Artie... Good luck at the new home. I look forward to hearing all the antics, dirty jokes, racist comments* and drunk Scores girls. VODKA... STRAIGHT UP! THANK YOUUUUUUUU!!!!
