Howard Stern

So I went on the radio and be like, hi, this is Howard Stern, WR&W, progressive music from the woods. And this is Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. And so, you know, we would do that. And I hated it. I hated it. Even you had to segue, you had to play a record and make sure there was no dead air.

Oh, no, no. I played whatever I wanted. But it was horrible. I mean, it was a lot of pressure. You had to get the commercials lined up. It was just you in a little room in a house somewhere up in the woods. These were these shitty radio stations, $96 a week. And you played records and you announced them. And this is what I did. And I was the worst at it. I was the worst.

There were no performers in my family. I didn't understand performance. I was not in show business. My father even said, you cannot be a millennial.

Between that and the music... When I'd walk around college, nobody seemed to pay attention to me. I think I had the worst personality. You had no confidence that you were going to be somewhat compelling at all. I would write letters to my girlfriend saying, I will be the world's greatest radio performer.

I have no idea. I don't know. I just knew that there was something there.

No, it took me years. That's why I resent this podcast. You guys are just out here talking. I had to spend years. I had to spend years. It took me 10 years just to get conversational.

You guys are too talented. No, but in all seriousness, playing records was horrible. Were you a fan of music, though? Oh, huge fan of music. You know, music meant more to me than religion. I never got a thing out of religion, but man, when I'd hear the Beatles or the Stones or George Harrison, you know, My Sweet Lord, that stuff, that spoke to me.
