The point being that Stern is an amazing interviewer. Pretty much anyone who’s anyone in music, TV, and movies lobby to get on his show. There’s a reason for that and the reason isn’t because he’s inferior to your obscure talk show host mentions. It’s because Howard has transformed himself into a thoughtful, creative, and interesting host. He gets everyone to open up on his show or play some of their songs. I doubt you have SiriusXM, so you wouldn’t know these things.
Also, when you make absolute statements like “Springsteen stinks” or “Howard sucks”…it really doesn’t give you much credibility. It just makes you sound like an old curmudgeon asshole.
