Stay on vacation Howard

That is the title of an article that briefly mentions Artie Lange.

In this article from phillyburbs.com, Howard Stern and the Howard Stern Show are bashed by blogger Eric Gargiulo. I would normally say that this guy is an asshole, but being a fellow blogger, I'm going to bite my tongue.

Eric G, who is the host of an AM Radio Show about Pro Wrestling, states that Howard Stern should do us all a favor and stay on vacation because the show is a snooze-fest lately. He also states that the show features a list of D-list celebrities, uninteresting discussions about the merger, whining rich hosts and a co-host that falls asleep due to boredom.

I agree with the guy in some area's and disagree with others. The show has changed! But I think it has changed for the better. Sure, Howard still plays the cheap Jew role, Robin is still a cackling, interrupting pain in the ass, and Artie is spiraling out of control, but that is what draws people to the show. The fact that we get to hear about these peoples lives everyday makes us feel like we are personal friends of the show members. They've become a part of our lives. We tune in everyday to hear about their lives just like we talk to our spouses, significant others, friends or co-workers everyday.

So yes, Howard has changed. He has 500 million reasons for the change. But change for the worse? No.
I dread the day when the show is no longer on the air. I've been listening religiously for years.
There will be millions of people all over the world that will feel an empty void without the Howard Stern Show.
Remember the Soprano's? I still get bummed out that Tony is no longer a part of my life.
I personally will be one of the people that will miss the show. And I believe Eric G. will feel the same way.
Whether you like the show or not, you always tune in and listen. It gives people like Eric and myself something to talk about (and blog about).
