City Journal Article on Stern - Funny Long Ago

Uncle Larry

Former European Model
Another article Stern won't like to see in his google alerts. :jj: Apparently the author isn't familiar with the world famous supermodoe, as he spelled her name “Ostrovsky”. He blasts Mr. Free Speech's Covid paranoia as well as the other usual topics.


“… Over time, he exchanged politically incorrect friends like Donald Trump for the likes of Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres, whom he’d once brutally ridiculed. And, in one of the stunning turnarounds of all time, he became a fount of leftist cant. In his 2019 book Howard Stern Comes Again, a massive assemblage of interview transcripts, he described insipidly woke celebrity dum-dums like Stephen Colbert and Gwyneth Paltrow as “evolved” souls, awash in “wisdom” and “humanity.” ..

Stern doesn’t devote all of his airtime nowadays to harangues about Covid. Much of his current schtick would be familiar, after a fashion, to fans who checked out decades ago. He still picks on his producer, Gary Dell’Abate (Baba Booey), and other members of his radio staff, as well as on the collection of misfit callers known as the Wack Pack; but these bits—which used to feel motivated by genuine irritation, and could actually be risible—now feel pro forma, a way to kill time. …

As ever, Stern talks a lot about his personal life. …. Since he’s sequestered himself in the Hamptons abode, his tales from home are mostly about the cats Ostrovsky is fostering. Yes, he still imitates his parents and retells the same old stories about the psychological damage they caused him in childhood :sleepy:—but this material, which used to be amusing (especially when his folks would call in and fight back), seems hoary and even heartless now that Stern is a withered 68, his mother a dotty 94, and his father an addled, stone-deaf 98. ….”
