No doubt. Tune into Imus, Stern or any of their ilk and you get the
same nasty tone, race baiting comments and depraved stories. The only
difference is Stern's voice has nasaly whine while Imus has the
gravelly sound of too many cigarettes and whiskies. The content is
largely the same.

Obviously, you haven't listened much, to Stern anyway.

I've tried to listen in and find what the attraction is. Mostly
nasaly whining about this and that non-issue and lots of sexual
innnuendo. In other words a lot of wind but not much content. But
there were appparently a lot of younger mostly single guys that found
crap like that entertaining when it was free on FM broadcast radio.
More than a few of his cheerleaders didn't think it was worth paying
for on satellite radio however.

That's your opinion. And a lot of his listeners did move to Sirius
radio. I would pay 13 bucks a month for Stern alone. I'm really not that
into the sex stuff, and the musical groups he has on, my favorite stuff
is when he makes a mess of his personal life, and when the people on the
show are fighting. What stories are depraved? He was married for 20
years, and split up and then not long after that, met his fiancee.
Sounds pretty normal to me..
