Short answer: No
I am a HUGE Stern fan. He is an amazing interview talent. He always shows respect to his guests. But the people that don't listen think what he does on his show is how he treats his guests. Lindsey Buckingham did Stern at some point. I don't remember it and either does Howard but they were talking about Fleetwood Mac playing in New York on this tour and several show members attended. Howard has seen the Mac play at private parties back in 2003 without Christine. It was then brought up if Howard talked to anyone in the band and he said no even though it was a very private and intimate setting at someone's house. Then it was mentioned that Lindsey did the show and few could remember that so it must have been many many years ago.
Joe Walsh has been a regular guest on Stern for 20 years. In the late 80s and 90's he would show up and be so tanked and drunk and pass out in the studio. It was a regular thing. It was not until Joe got clean and about 4 years ago opened up about his relationship with Stevie on the show and how their love affair was only done on the road for the tour.
But the best Stevie stuff from Stern was when Dave Stewart did an interview several years ago. This was years before he did Stevie's album. He talked candidly how he met Stevie and went back to her place and was in her bed. But Stevie just kept changing clothes and staying in her bathroom with her 2 backup singers the entire night they did not sleep. In the morning, Joe Walsh came to her house and Dave was in bed and worried. He could hear Stevie downstairs send him away and say "Don't come around here no more" Dave thought that was a great song and began to write it for Stevie. But Dave was going to produce Tom Petty's next album and when Tom heard the song he asked if he could have it and Stevie said yes.
Wild times back them. That interview is on youtube.
