Original thoughts

I am glad that the people who like Stern have him and I defend thier right to listen to him but, why would anyone pay $12.95 a month to listen to someone who only dishes cynicism, has contempt for everyone that appears on his show, (shown through his verbally disparaging and patronizing remarks to his shows guest both retarded and alledgedly normal) and has never had an original thought in his entire life. Its easy for someone to cast dispersions at anything or anyone. I don't think I'd want my children holding Sterns to any higher regard than the lowest level of the deepest abyss. But hell , who am i?

I think what is more likely, is that many/most people already had Serius and have been enjoying the enormous wealth of programming they offer. Stern fans (I prefer Imus although I haven't listened to him in quite some time) probaby saw/see his move to Sirius as just an added benefit to their subscriptions.
I know that when my shipmates and I are far offshore, out of range of any broadcast radio, sat radio is indespensible. Even if we have 100 CDs between us, they eventually get old to listen to, get scratched and skip, and don't play very well in 10-20 ft seas anyway.
