Thought it was cool Howard Stern played the entire Stevie version of Free Falling. He never plays full songs, exp one that long!
Howard, Robin and Fred are big fans. I'm sure Fred played it as a nod to her tour starting.

Howard Stern is a perv & he's very rude!
I'll never like him after hearing how he treated Linda Ronstadt back in the 90's. I don't care if he is a Stevie fan.

Howard is a genius. I heard the Stevie song today and was surprised. Actually they do frequently play whole songs at the beginning of the show or if they have a long break. He has said that he is a fan and I wish she would go on his show. I didn't like Gaga until she did a 90 minute interview and sang on his show a few weeks ago. It was the greatest radio performance I have ever heard anyone do--ever. I wish she would do a record of the way she sang on Stern. Brilliant. Only Howard gets performances/interviews like that.

^ I have to do agree. When he isnt being rude or a perv he does FANTASTIC interviews. If he could channel that into a "Larry King" style show it would be amazing, but he has his "reputation" to live up to I suppose

To be fair, Linda Ronstadt volleyed the first shot by trash talking Howard on The Tonight Show when Robin was a guest. She really exercised poor judgment there and should not have been shocked if Howard fought back two-fold.

Did anybody record a clip of his show when this happen.
I know Gaga's performance of Edge of Glory is available on youtube if you search Howard Stern/Lady Gaga. Not sure if you can find the whole interview but I am sure you can. It was extraordinary.
Here is Gaga on Howard...

She also did a song called Hair that was beautiful...Howard was speechless after both of these perfomances.

I heard Free Fallin' on Stern the other day as well & was like "whaaaaa?" Pleasant surprise.
I would looooooove for Stevie to go on the show & think it would be great exposure. However, I think Stevie (and/or her camp) are worried he'd ask her really trashy questions & make her uncomfortable, prude that she is. But I don't think he would - he's talked about what a huge fan he is of hers & the Mac. He's pretty respectful when it comes to his idols. :shrug:

Howard has/had a thing for Stevie in her pre-fat years as he calls it. You can tell that he secretly likes her and respects her. I think if she'd do the show that Howard would treat her kindly and with great respect. He's a frustrated musician as it is.............

Indeed. My History Of Rock professor in college was an instrumentalist in Charlotte, NC's symphony orchestra and regaled us of his encounters with Ms Rondstat when she performed in Charlotte with the symphony some years back. Apparently she's an impossible diva. It's not like my professor was green around celebs either... he was something of a local legend himself. He helped head the symphony any time a rock artist came to town & he was even one of the 3 trumpet players to play Taps for JFK's funeral. Linda was the absolutely only celeb he ever spoke over negatively... and boy did he have things to say about her. I say all this because if Howard Stern skewered Rondstat, she likely very well deserved it.

Respectfully disagree how likely she deserved it.
Ms. R. don't take no ***** from geeks like Stern. I'd be more likely to agree on the other situation if I was certain your professor wasn't grinding a political axe. Stern and Ronstadt don't share like minds on politics. Since she is very outspoken and doesn't back down...Stern takes his shots when he can.

Is Howards interview on Youtube. Yes, the last I saw it was. This was from 1995 & she was promoting her 'Feels Like Home' album on Leno & Robin was on the show & Linda said something and it went down hill from there. The next day Howard talked about it on his show, calling her every name he could think of. I wish I was there in the Leno audience because after hearing all of those boos, I would be the one telling the people to *F* off! :rolleyes:

HAHAHA!
I remember seeing this Leno appearance and howling at it. The following days of the Stern show were priceless entertainment. This was Stern at his ultimate peak.
It was great to listen to all the parts of this Howard chronicle and see how much of an ass Ronstadt made of herself. Boy did that audience turn on her. She violated every scrap of TV interview manners by attacking Robin, and Robin wiped the floor with her. The added irony was all the business about Sun City. I had never even known that Ronstadt played Sun City, took all that aparthied money, and never even apologized for it. Classic. And she had the nerve to chastise Robin about some out of context racism! It was so clear she had never listened to him and her reaction was kneejerk PC claptrap. Brilliant radio and a shameful comeuppance for Miss Ronstadt. I love her singing, but she stepped in it big time on this count.
Thanks for the fantastic flashback!
Howard is such a huge Stevie fan. It is too bad she will never go on his show.

The only thing Linda said to Robin was that she didn't like Howards persona. Didn't mean he had to be so rude about her. Oh, I hope Stevie's never on his show, she has class.

if i recall my ronstadt history, this was around the time that "feels like home" came out, which was supposed to be trio 2, but some issues with dolly parton kept it from being so until 99 or 2000; at any rate, interviews with ronstadt during this time would lead one to believe that she was not into her career at all -- and maybe with due reason -- her last big album was in 1989, after years of being a commercial artist. in the press, she came off as difficult and preachy, and maybe that's just where she was. but she did have a tendency to name check people, and with stern, like it tends to be, people judge without really understanding what his show is all about. i think there's a perception that one has to be a sexist pig to appreciate howard stern. and that's so beyond wrong.
but thats my 2 cents. i love ronstadt, but i am a stern die-hard, and i'm neither sexist, nor a pig.

As i was just getting out of the car about 10 minutes ago i heard Howard mentioning the Buddy Holly tribute cd. He mentioned Stevie being on it and that she does a good job. He then asked Robin if she wanted to hear it. ( then i had to get out of the car). My girlfriend will hear more and i'll post more info when i get it.

EXACTLY! i think Stevie could handle him. and i also think that Howard wouldn't do or say anything that is totally disrespectful! i mean.......she is a ROCK LEGEND and he does respect that. when rock royalty is in the building he tends to stay in his lane.
if he does ask any questions about joe or lindsey or any of stevie other men she'd prob say "well, ya know.......yeah and ummmm......welp ya know......it was the times" or some crap like that. she wouldn't say "me and joe fk'd all the time" lmao! :lol:
i say Stevie do Howard Stern...........#PAUSE........i mean Stevie do an INTERVIEW with Howard Stern!

Excellent! I love it when Howard does these "infomercial" - like segments on his show- just like he always does for "The Bachelor" and "True Blood." He's so good at making it sound organic and incidental. But that being said, it's cool that he singled out "Not Fade Away." I'm going to write an email to Baba Booey and insist that he try to book her while she is in town, that is, unless Hamptons Howie is on yet another vacation before Labor Day. :rolleyes:
