I didn't listen to him for a year in my home market. He was too caustic. I
used to switch to NPR All Things Considered. After 3 hours of Limbaugh, I
wanted to hear how the others thought.
Then, I got that Tercel Wagon, and redid the body and painted the car.
One afternoon I was on the other side of the car, with the grinder and
files out, and Howie came on, and I was on the other side of the shop from
thew radio, and up to my elbows. I kept arguing with him! (like, he could
hear me...)
Same situation the next day. By the third day, I realized he was even more
of an entertainer than a commentator, and actually started liking it.
He does deal with a lot of stuff here, in Mass, obviously, but also on the
National scale, too...
