Howard is on WJFK AM in Baltimore (1300).  In my car, the switchover point 
seems to occur right about the point where I-95 splits off to College Park,
North of DC.

Just as a note - if you can't get AM on your car radio (and REALLY care to
hear the show), go to an auto parts store and get resistor spark plugs and
a noise suppression kit for the distributor (the plugs might do it by 
themselves).  Is your antenna damaged? (more to the point, is the shielding
on your antenna lead-in wire damaged?)  AM interference from ignition noise
is pretty easy to correct, but it costs a few bucks - maybe $20 - for the
stuff to put onto the car.  It is hard to imagine a car built in the last
20 years not having ignition noise suppression already installed, so my
*guess* is that your antenna is damaged, or your plugs were changed and
non-resistor types installed.

I totally forgot about Letterman on Friday night. Can someone post a summary?
Also, Howard said something about being on the cover of Esquire. Has anyone
seen this issue?


I didn't get a chance to speak to Melrose Larry Green this past Friday. He
wasn't at the usual street corner when we showed up.

In an earlier post, I said something to the effect of "Boy Gary can't talk."
What I meant by this was that Boy Gary cannot link words together to form

This was great!  Howard kept referring to Roseanne Barr as "that big fat
pig" and "that big fat slob".  But the best was how he kept calling Tom
Arnold "the Yoko Ono of the 90s".  I kept expecting Dave to protest, but he

Howard also talked about making his movie and about his upcoming "Tribute

Actually, I got the impression that WYSP chopped Howard at
10:45 Monday and quickly "segued" into some music.  What time
did they wrap up in NYC?

I only caught half-awake snippets of the show Tuesday, but the
theme seemed to be "new subject", rather than any additional
SK related stuff - I guess they are still working on a special
show for the end of the week, though.

Well, no, of course not.  But I have noticed that once Infinity buys a
station (at least an FM), they tend to "K-Rockisize" it, turning it into a
virtual clone.  So I just thought that they'd sort of taken the 20-

But I remember Howard talking about it at the time, and I doubt that he'd

The national show lasted 26 weeks (mid '86 thru early '87).  It was
syndicated by DIR Broadcasting.

The reason it was cancelled was because they wanted to produce Howard's
TV show, but he had decided to sign with FOX at that time.

Guests included:  Gene Simmons (Kiss), Meatloaf, May Pang, among others.
Lisa Robinson was a featured Rock reporter on the show.  Basically it was
a mixture of 90 minutes of interviews and "stuff" and 90 minutes of current
top 40ish music.

If you really want to see some of it, find someone with a copy of
CBS's West 57th Street story on "shock" jocks.

Robin's dress in "You asked us for it!": I think the idea was to look as cheesy as possible.  I mean, look at how Howard was dressed!  The show was like a 70's throwback, so Robin had to look stupid.

Billy West: I think he has the funniest voices in the world.  The best is when Howard calls him and pretends he's calling a real person.  DId anyone hear his Paul Tsongas/Elmer Fudd impersonation? And how about this fall when Howard called him syaing he was talking to Long Dong Silver AND his wife.  he should be a regular on the show.

According to one of Sam's people, who was following Sam's car in a
van, the accident scattered beer cans all over the highway, and none
of them came from Sam's car.  The description made it sound like Sam
died from head injuries, and might have lived had he been wearing his
seat belt.

The other driver was said to have tried passing in the face of
oncoming traffic, and was charged with felony manslaughter.

It was ironic that the episode of Howard's show which was dedicated
(at least on NY's channel 9) to Sam was the one that included the
'Head injury Club for Men' skit.  But it had been scheduled a long
time before Sam died (it was in the TV guide).

I'm setting my alarm for 6.  I think that Howard will help make sense
of the situation, and help put it into perspective, as he frequently
can do with tragic news.

I think respecting a contract in spite of your personal

I doubt that Howard is soley responsible for deciding who his

I bet WXRK has the final say about who he keeps.

But there's this deejay in the eastern Carolinas, and you'd have to hear

she may not be as obnoxious as Howard, but she's even more outrageous.  If

In NY, this rule was put in place after the transmitter konked out one
day during Howard's show, and Howard opined that it would have
interrupted a 20 song Marathon.  Contestants in NY used to be required
to name the performers or title of each song, and not just quote the
number of songs played.

At the point when Meg made her 'mistake', it was a big deal to play
them as 'real' mistaskes.  I distrust the statements that were made at
the time.  Now they are must more open about admitting them to be
contests.  As I recall, the first contest happened on a Thursday,
which was always Mark Chernoff's 'key day', according to Howard.

Ditto.  Meg played off of Howard much better than Pete does.  But I'll
still change to WDRE as soon as Howard is off every day (or just turn
the thing off).  IMHO (and each to their own taste) Mark Chernoff has
no musical taste at all.
