Approaching 30 years of radio experience, Stern knows the business. He has connections with some of radio and televisions largest names. He can literally talk about anything he wants on his show, especially now - since he's moved to a subscription-based and censorship-free medium. But the sad thing is - he talks about garbage all the time. And I'm not just referring to the offensive material that turns so many listeners away. I'm talking about nearly all of the extremely vacuous topics that the show covers. His show, in my opinion, is extremely mindless, and shows a huge lack of planning and forethought. The whole thing, from start to finish, is a giant waste of time.
Personally, if I'm gonna listen to a radio show, especially one as mind-numbing as Howard Stern's, I would rather be listening to someone with some character - like David Lee Roth (former front man of Van Halen) or Steven Tyler (Aerosmith). Howard Stern is essentially a nobody who, somehow, made it big. But this is America. And the fact that such a giant tool, such as Howard Stern, can make it big, is just one of the many things that makes this Country so rad.

NO CLUE
While his show is not for everyone, I don't think you give him nearly enough credit. Howard's life is his radio show, and it's pretty much all he's good at. He spends almost all of his time working on the show and doing the show, and a lot of effort goes into it. I don't really understand how the fact that some people are rock stars (such as the ones you mentioned) makes them automatically more interesting, or more important than Howard Stern, one of the most well-known radio DJs in history. I agree with the ending point, though, and the fact that we can disagree on a topic like this is great.
