Reply #11: Yeah, lets all jump on the bash Howard bandwagon [View All]

If you listen to the show at all you know this comment was a self-deprecating comment. He acknowledges his own ability to be happy in life.

I listen to the show, he's repeatedly discussed how successful and how great it is that 4million have already come over. The fact that 30% (which brought Sirius up to that 4million total subscriber number) of his fan base right off the bat is incredible, unheard of in the industry. And the fact that people will continue to come over as time goes on just like there was an initial rush to early cable offers then a slow but constant current of the rest of the TV audience over to cable subscriptions.

But he's a compulsive, a work-a-holic, never satisfied with his accomplishments, as many very successfully men and woman are, and he beats himself up over it very often and is open and honest about it with his listeners. Which is core to what makes him different and interesting as opposed to nitwits like Imus and the other Stern copycats out there.

Yes, that means he lashes out at people around him, including occasionally his audience, that's what human beings do to each other in real life and listening to Howard you better be able to handle it all. It's honest and raw and dangerous in a good way, in the way that provokes people, gets them laughing and even on occasion - gasp! - Thinking!
