If you are easily offended then you won't get past the first page. To me, the book was very entertaining from the first page to the very last page. The book was written and released in 1993. Around that time I was too young to understand the Howard Stern phenomenon but today I fully understand it all. There are many great tales told by Howard about his childhood, reaching puberty,very first job on the radio,how he lost virginity, his high times and his down times. No stone is left unturned. Every secret revealed. Present day revelations foretold. The book is about thirty percent sex, fifty percent radio, and twenty percent family stories. I found the book to be very inspirational and not too offensive. Every success story isn't told without failures. Howard Stern had his failures just like everyone who acheived their goal. Howard has his fans and he also enemies; program directors, station general managers, Don Imus, the FCC and the U.S government. Every DJ you hear on the radio today is influenced by Mr. Stern, even though they will deny it (Mancow Muller, Bubba the Love Sponge, Opie and Anthony and yes Don Imus). They make phony phone calls, they have their own version of the 'Wack Pack' They all go out to the streets and ask people funny questions to get funny answers. I skipped the one part about Richard Simmons because it got way to 'gay' for me. You can hear the full story if you purchase the Howard Stern: Crucified by the FCC boxed set in audio cassette or compact discs. Ultimately, Howard Stern fought for freedom of speech.................AND WON!

Howard Stern's Miss America....book review
This review is long overdue, I know. I had distractions at home and abroad that cut my reading time short. Here's the review. What a book! Miss America was written and released in 1995, two years after the previous book Private Parts. This book opens with cybersex. Howard had guns blazing from the start on first page. This book is more opinionated. Some parts of the book refers back to Private Parts so it answered every question I had after I read Private Parts. Miss America gives details on how Howard ran for governor and how his radio show help elect two governors and one senator. Howard finally mentions his 'war stories' to become the number one disc jockey in America.
However, Howard wrote a stomach turning chapter about his meeting with Micheal Jackson. I have to tell you, it was the grossest piece of literature I have ever read. This meeting to place right after Jackson's child molestation charges to set up a big TV interview exclusive for Howard Stern in order to restore his image. Jackson had scotch tape all over his face to keep his nose in place, later he began sweating like a pig and made his make up run off of his face and drip on his clothes. I managed to tough it out, like everything else, and I finished the chapter. I did not skip any parts of this book, unlike Private Parts there was not any mention of Richard Simmons.
FAQ's about Miss America
1). How did the TV special with Micheal Jackson fail to come about?
Howard's goal was to setup up a live, unedited interview with Micheal Jackon and he was going to ask Micheal embarrassing questions about Micheal's affairs with young boys. Micheal Jackson had know no idea who Howard Stern was but Jackon knew that Stern had the number one radio show in the country. Howard explains that it could have been one of Jackson's bodyguards could have tipped off Jackson on who Howard Stern really was. So the end result was that Jackson ran to Diane Swayer to do the interview.
2). How did Howard celebrated reaching number one for each market?
He held funerals for Don Imus/WNBC in New York area and John DeBella/WMMR in Philadelphia outside of their radio studios.
3) Why did Howard choose not to run for governor of New York?
Howard overwhelmingly won the Libertarian Party nomination. The only thing keeping Howard Stern from the governors' mansion was that Howard did not want to file a financial disclosure form.

Artie Lange's Too Fat To Fish.... book review
So I finally completed the 'cycle', so to speak, on reading the books written by the Howard Stern Show staff.
1). Howard Stern's Private Parts
2). Howard Stern's Miss America
3). Robin Quiver's A Life (audiobook)
4). Artie Lange's Too Fat To Fish
?). Riley Martin's The Coming of Tan... I will read that down the road.
Now Too Fat Too Fish was released in November of 2008 but the paperback version was released on June 2, 2009. Now I strictly prefer paperback books over hardcover books. That's just my preference. I got it on June 4th which was a Thursday and I didn't really start to read it until the weekend.
Too Fat To Fish was one big rollercoaster ride from the first page all the way to the very last page. The first two chapters had some very funny stories about
Artie's childhood but by the end of the third chapter it was the start of a depressing storyline. This is where I had to put the book down for a few moments to collect my
thoughts together. Every self destructive moment (past, present, and maybe future) is attributed to the accident/death of Artie's father. Drugs, booze, and gambling were all
Artie's outlet with coping with the aftermath of his father's accident and eventual death. I had an eerie feeling that I was reading about the stories of drugs and booze use of
Sam Kinison. When you think about the comedians John Belushi, Chris Farley, and even Sam Kinison (even though he was on the path to recovery), you have to put Artie Lange in the same group as those guys.
Artie tells a story about how he was working as a longshoresman and then three years later as a regular castmember on FOX's MAD TV. Artie's time on MAD TV was his darkest period as an entertainer. This was at the height of Artie's cocaine habbit and he tells a story about how he scored coke in a pig costume. The producers of the show made him go to rehab and when he came back, he relapsed. Later on, the producers again wanted Artie go to rehab but Artie refused. They chased him down in a grocery store and Artie was throwing produce at everybody. He was arrested and fired from the show.

I don't want to give out much but there was a shocking revalation that really hit me hard. There aren't many bright moments in this book. So much of the bad moments outweigh the good moments. There will be a second book coming soon and there are also rumors of this book being made into a movie ALA Howard Stern's Private Parts. I know you will enjoy this book ,as much as I did, for the good, the bad and the ugly sides of Artie Lange's life.
CHEERS.
Guess Who's the Jew
Let's play a short game of Guess Who's the Jew, the game made famous by Howard Stern.The radio version of the game was often hosted by Kurt Waldeheim Jr. (Fred Norris). Judaism is the only religion a person is born into. Yeah, you have these celebrities convert to judaism but that's not TRUE judaism. Sammy Davis Jr, Tom Arnold, Invanka Trump, even Madonna aren't true Jews. You gotta call that 'ni**er jew'. Jews are considered to be 'cheap', for example, a of people go out for dinner, they would divide the bill into how much each person had as opposed to one or two people picking up the bill. These days, Jews are often blamed for the world's crisis whether it's political, economical,financial, and geographical.
Before this game gets started I wanna blog quickly on religion, all of it. Some 'experts' say that the end of days are near. I BELIEVE IT. The end of days where mankind realizes that religion is nothing more that folk tale passed down from generation to generation. Who wrote the bible? I don't care to find out. Either way, it's meant to keep a rich man rich and a poor man poor. It's the only thing keeping Beverly Hills or Manhattan from being burnt to ground. The bible teaches that you are born a sinner, automatically giving you a burden of guilt. Why live like a caged animal in a zoo? Folding your hands and saying a prayer won't solve any of the world's problems. You have to work to make miracles happen. Let your voice be heard. Let your face be seen. Push yourself beyond the limits of you own expectation. Don't allow the gift of life be a burden of guilt. Find something to live for and when you do, pass it on to the future. That is true everlasting life. Is mankind not to exceed evolution like the dinosaur or the monkey? When world is released from the grip of religion, however that may be, we are nothing more than naked apes with guns. A world without religion is a world without cancer and without world hunger.
CAN I GET AN AMEN!!!
Alright, back to the game. You have to pick one of three people listed in each group who is jewish. One or two or even all three choices maybe jewish. The answers will be listed on the bottom half of this blog.

Private Parts Movie Review
This movie was based on the best selling book Howard Stern's Private Parts. The movie compared to the book is more cartoonish. The Stern crew play themselves in the movie. However, Paul Giamatti steals the show. I have this movie in many formats; VHS, DVD, from PSN, and from ITUNES. There was a previously released movie ten years earlier based on Howard Stern, Good Morning Vietnam. Before you watch the movie, you do have to read the book. The story of Howard Stern can't be told in short amount of time. The movie is just a paraphrase form of the book. There's not any intense moments in the film unlike the book. Yeah, in the movie Robin was fired from WNBC but in reality Howard and Robin were both fired. The Air Florida incident was not in the film. That incident made some serious headlines. So if you wanna steal the show for a sorority or fratenity movie night, you'd pick up Private Parts. Now if you want to hear the best version of Howard Stern's Private Parts, go around and ask if anybody has a copy of the History of Howard Stern Act 1. Act 1 covers all of Private Parts the movie. It has in depth interviews from the Stern crew themselves, Ben and Rea Stern, celebrities, wack packers, and many more. As a movie reviewer, Daniel Carver gave it 4 of 5 burning crosses.
REASONS TO SWITCH TO SATELLITE RADIO
I wanna explain why you should get satellite radio Sirius or XM, but none of them will be about Howard Stern. Let's be honest here, when satellite radio is mentioned, people think HOWARD STERN but satellite radio is so much more than that. Here's a little scenario to help clear things up:
Imagine youself stuck in early morning traffic. You're running late for work, therefore, you didn't bring you CD case and your pop tart is getting cold. You're stuck in traffic flipping through all of the radio stations FM and AM, you don't like Top 40 radio and the morning DJs you pick up are just bums. You finally get to your desk in a grumpy mood. You take it out on your co-workers and maybe your boss. Chances are you're gonna get fired.
Here's how the scenario would have played out if you had satellite radio:
You're alarm goes off two hours before you head into work or class. You turn on your brand new satellite radio to a great rock station like Sirius OCTANE. Those power rock song gets your blood flowing. You eat a great breakfast like egg whites, french toast, and a chocolate protein shake. You head out one hour before you're due. You avoid getting into a traffic jam by tuning to the traffic report channels on your satellite radio. You still flip through all of the channels on the radio so you can get as much information as you can get (news, sports, weather, etc.) You stroll into work or class twenty minutes early. You kill time by making conversation, but all of a sudden someone asks you who won the baseball game yesterday and you tell 'em you're not sure but you tell them that High Pitch Eric just won the Craptacular by two ounces on the Howard Stern Show or you share a great joke that was played on Sirius Raw Dog. You get a feeling that you had a productive day then you head home and do it all over again.
That's how satellite radio (Sirius or XM) can make a difference in your life just like it made a difference in my life.
So why choose one when you can have both. That's right, you can get Sirius and XM programming on either brand. They merged into one company. Satellite radio isn't just a radio and a docking station. You can get it through the internet and as an app for Iphone or Ipod touch. You can have it at home or cruise in your car with it.
Satellite Radio is the future and the future is now. Get a step ahead in life by subscribing to satellite radio. Satellite Radio is coming to Europe before the summer of 2010.
