I am not sure you understand the message. I ran across Howard Stern in 1981
in Washington DC. He made me embarrassed to be of the same species as him.
That's my opinion and only sets a reference point for why I do what I do.
At that time, I just chose never to listen to a station that had his show on
the air. When I run across this jerk, I note the stration and never listen
to it. No listeners, no advertisers. When someone calls (as they
occasionally do) and asks if I listen to such and such a station, if it's
one of his, the answer is no and I tell thm why.
And now Sirius is going to give this boob a half billion dollars? Not a
single one of mine. Give me an address and I will write and explain to
Siriius personally the reasons they will never get me as a customer.
Economic votes. Does it work? Probably not but I sleep well at night knowing
HS will never get any of my money.
This theory works just as well with people like Rush Limbaugh and that
O'Reilley guy. They can have all the audience they want, they just can't
have my economic vote.
