European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 31, 1993, Darmstadt, Hesse                                A Stern lesson in speaking and writing your mind by Larry Mcshane the associated press for years Howard Stern s life has been an open Book. Now it s available in  self proclaimed King of Allmedia a top rated radio Host a Cable to interviewer on the a Channel a burgeoning movie Star has moved into the publishing world. Private parts Simon & Schustern print compan Ion to his raunch and Roll radio show jumped to no. 1 on Best seller lists in its first week of release. The Book is partly autobiographical detailing everything from his Anatomy Small to his marriage monogamous. As on his syndicated radio program which daily draws 4 million listeners it s every Man woman and child for themselves Stern s Book takes no prisoners. You certainly get Stern s caustic cutting takes on other celebrities. Don t invite Stern to the same party As Roseanne Arnold. Or her husband Tom. Or late night hosts Arsinio Hall and Chevy Chase. Or former late night Host Johnny Carson. Or radio Host Rush Limbaugh or movie maker Spike Lee. Or Model Cindy Crawford. Or anyone of French ances try. You get the idea. I am someone who is willing to get on the air and say whatever s on my mind said Stern sitting in his Manhattan office. If i Start censoring myself and if i Start saying Well i d better not say that cause i have an image that s Why i can t stand Kathie Lee Gifford. She s censoring herself All. Day Stern continued warming to his subject. That s the worst aspect of show business. Kathie Lee Regis All these. Empty headed stars and their  ass kicking is More like it in Stern s Case As these Book excerpts make Clear. On Madonna if there s a Mountain called ego mania she finally climbed to the top of it with that piece of garbage truth or dare on Lee hey Black people if you  following Spike Lee you  in big trouble on Hall i wish the aids virus on  whoa in t wishing a modern Day plague on an other human going too far Howard Howard going too far no Way he replied. Does t everyone wish the aids virus on Arsenio you mean i m the Only one i Don t think so. These Are thoughts that come into my head. I Don t try to Cen Sor  Stern is an unlikely author he admits Reading just a single Book since High school Roger Stern s super Man. Dut Reading is no prerequisite to writing pub Lisher Simon & schuster is already in its sixth print ing of the Book cranking out 750,000 copies. The 446-Page Book also has turned Stern into an extrovert. The author who declined virtually All interviews for years is talking to everyone from Phil Donahue to entertainment weekly to promote the Tome. On the radio Stern is outrageous cynical vulgar obvious and funny sometimes All at once. At Home it s a different scene he has been married for 15 years has three daughters and still lives on his native Long Island. While his on air Persona revolves around lesbian dial a Date Grade b celebrities Jessica Hahn la Toya Jackson and half naked women his advice for a Good life is far less dramatic if you have kids you live with the kids he writes. You Don t move out on your wife. Nobody follows that. That s these Cret to  unlike other celebrities Stern avoids the spotlight off the air. He deliberately a oids doing movie pre Mieres hanging out with the brat pack or schmoozing with other big names. So Many people in show business say to me of Man i wish i could say the things you say " Stern said. The consequences arc really when you run into somebody and you be said something about them and you have to Deal with it in reality. That s Why i Don t go  Home life is a frequent topic on the radio show. That has caused friction Between Stern and his wife Alison and with his parents. Stern who once joked on air about his wife s miscarriage said he can t help it. I m the most honest when i m on the  his Blunt on air comments have attracted the at Tention of the Federal communications commission. The Agency has levied nearly $1.2 million in fines against stations carrying Stern s show saying it is Replete with references to sexual and excretory activities and  the acc is not his Only critic. Stern has been accused of racism sexism homophobia misogyny bad taste childishness and a whole raft of other things. Stern shrugs off critics and Points to his audience he offers no apologies. Whenever you feel yourself going i d better not say that i d better not write that that s precisely what you should write because that s what people want to read he said. Parts of private excerpts from Howard Stern s private parts i look at Johnny Carson and i see just an other Hollywood phony i loved that crying routine on the air when his son died off the Side of a Cliff. Let s face it this was no father of the year. You love your kids Well How about that Little mulatto love grandchild whom you refuse to acknowledge the French. Those bastards would t let us Fly our planes Over their precious country when we were on our Way to bomb that rag head Qaddafi. That s some gratitude after we saved their Snail eating asses during world War ii when they Laid Down like sheep for  i want to be there the Day Cindy Crawford gets into a disfiguring Accident and Richard  has to live out his year staring at a leg less toothless.
