You have to take what Stearn's says with a grain of salt the size of the
Titanic. He's just opinionating his little heart away just to get a rise out
of his listeners. Some of his stuff is absolutely hilarious, some totally
obnoxious. But if you remember Jack E. Leonard and early Don Rickles they did
the same kind of offensive routines and made big bucks beginning in the late
50's. Howard is making big bucks in the early 80's.
