So, it HAS been released...and this happened recently?
Well, it can't take too long for a United States release...I hope. I look
forward to the day I can go to the nearest video store and have the option of
buying or renting this tape.  Is this only in my dreams, or will I have to move
 to the UK?


A Doctor Who film too? Sheesh, I'd go see that too.  With the budgets of todays
 movie makers, I can't see how either of these proposed films (H2G2 and Dr. Who
) could be any worse than the tv series. (I'm not commenting on the fact that
either of these are bad, cause they're NOT, just that with a bigger budget and
some ok actors they could go far. I mean, the stories are pretty much set...are
n't they?).


As far as Mostly Harmless...it's got to be written. Why? Because people
write books that's why. I think as soon as the idea of another H2G2 book
popped into DNA's head, it was decided that it would have to be written...
now whether the written part ever makes it to a book is another story.
But just imagine the potential!

I bought a paperback copy last week.
Inside the front cover it says:

      This book is sold subject ..."

The prices on the back cover include UK, CAN, Australia and NZ but not
US, so I wouldn't like to presume that this edition is available there. 
Is there something funny about the US Copyright laws e.g. they don't
respect foreign copyrights?

Date: Sat, 11 Apr 1992 21:28:41 GMT

I just saw this on CNN a couple of minutes ago.  Sam Kinnison was
killed in a car crash in Needles, California.  He was driving to a
sold out show in Nevada, and a pickup truck crossed the center line.
Sam was killed, he has been married for about a week, and his wife was
with him.  She is in the hospital.

I'd expect Howard to have a retrospective on Monday morning.  I'll be
setting my alarm for 6:00 AM.

I thought that, overall, Sam was one of Howard's best guests.  After
living on the edge for so long, with alcohol and drugs, it is sort of
surprising that he would die this way.

I think he'll be missed.  I also expect to hear Bob Goldwathite (sp?)
on the show more.

I was listening to a local talk show last night and the host played a 
short segment from one of Sam's recent acts.  Basicly it was Sam
screaming in that inimitable way he had about that it was no big deal
if people drive and drink.  To paraphrase, "So what's the big deal,
you go out have a few drinks, and then you get in you car and go
home..."

Quite ironic don't you think?

I agree with you about Pete Fornatell!  Also, did you ever notice that
all the classic rock stations play shit on Sundays.  Especially
"Idiots Delight" on KROCK.  What gives here?  I guess the stations
assume people are too hungover on Sundays, so they can get away with it!

Come on - all of these ideas are well known in the industry.  Do you think

Hmmm.  Around here, it was pretty obvious that there would be one "accident"
sometime during the campaign.  The first time the ydid this promo they tried
to make it seem like an accident, the next time or so it was more of a see
if you catch us.  With the advent of computerized playlists and  logging it's
not that hard to keep track of the number of song played and repeat play.

Howard has no say in any of the "pre recorded" comercials at
WWOR and WXRK, so I doubt he even knew there was a Jerry Brown
comercial during his show.   Afterall, there have been Z-100
comercials during his show!

About the "One Arm" message.. I have gotten alot of E-Mail on
it.

I have seen all of the shows, and all (2) of the stern videos,
and agree that Alison has 2 working, natural arms.  I just
heard a rumor that she has one fake arm, and was asking if
anyone else had heard that.. I am not saying I beleive it!

I watched the US Open Sores this weekend, and watched alisons
movements, and I agree that she has 2 real, working arms..
Maby someone got her confused with Stella Steen (sp?)

By the way, what happend to the TV show pre-view posts?

During Howard's discussion with Letterman Friday night, he said that he
had just taken the Baltimore market. He seemed to imply that he was actually
on a Baltimore station -- if so, which one? The only station I know of
carrying Stern in the Maryland area is WJFK, which I can't get in my car
(FM is being overrun by another station, AM is affected by my engine).
So is he on a Baltimore station or not?

the Don & Mike show.  So from 6 AM to 6 PM its all talk.
	Next comes "Cearphe's Progressive Show" which is a lot of music that 
never quite made it to Top 40 or Rock.  During this time they rival the 
"progressive" station (99.1 WHFS) in quality.
	I don't really listen after 10 PM or on weekends.  But I am assuming

At a "classic" rock expo that Howard's L.A. station, KLSX, put on, 
Baba Booey made an appearance.  Before he went on, there was a tape
running of all of Howeird's talk show appearances.  By the looks of
things, some were several years old.  One segment had him in the 
audience of a "donahue" type show, and he practically took over the
show with his banter, much to the chagrin of the host.

Anyhow, I asked an official-looking person standing next to the video
monitor if I could get a copy of the tape, and he said that it was from
the production company and was not for sale.

I don't know of any offical Stern videos, only bootlegs!

I just about fell over when watching last week's t.v. show "Salt-N-Pepper
lesbos.  Tabboo!  Tabboo!"

It is very good. There isn't all the crap that is in most of the sodas,

Hay Bob, 
It's a free country, you are perfictly free to turn you radio off, and 
Howard is perfictly free to piss you off.
