You can start and stop as you like, in the middle, at the end however you want. Without a plot or characters to keep track of it makes a perfect book to read anywhere in one shot or interview by interview. This is a book of what Howard feels were his best interviews or segments from 1995 to 2017. Each of the main interviews includes an introduction by Howard. To me the most interesting part of this book are the segments with Donald Trump starting in 1995 to 2015. Donald was a frequent guest on Howards show many times just calling in based on something he heard. As a long-time fan of Howard Stern, I knew going in that this book was not written for me. This is a book designed for the masses, not the fans – and unlike a lot of fans, I’m fine with that. Stern fans can be really vitriolic and hostile, especially towards the man himself. To those fans, I recommend you do not read this book. You won’t learn many new things, and you’ll just hate on it anyway. To anyone who thinks they know who Howard Stern is and what he stands for but have never actually listened to a show, read this book with an open mind. There is a lot to enjoy in the breadth and depth of the interviews and celebrities highlighted. You won’t find anything too disgusting or untoward or sexist. In fact, you will find that Stern is a warm, curious, self-deprecating person who struggles with his own psyche and tries to learn from the subjects of his interviews. Many of the interviews I remembered listening to – at least large pieces of them. Some I barely remembered at all. They were all interesting and offered the reader insight into the world of those being interviewed as well as some thought-provoking views of the world and how to navigate it. Most had at least one laugh out loud moment. Both Stern and his interviewing style are endearing. Comes Again by Howard Stern 2019 Simon & Schuster 4.0 / 5.0 I have so much more respect for Howard Stern after reading the introduction to his new book, Comes Again. He tells of his OCD, and of his health scare of 2006. Howard Stern also tells us of how embarrassed he is by his first two books and the first few decades of his career. In the 90s he began getting therapy- first once a week. Then twice a week. Then three times a week and eventually four days a week. He had to learn that other people had things to say, too. He explains the reason he did Americas Got Talent for 4 years was to try to change Americas perception of him. You gotta respect that. This is a collection if previously broadcast interviews with many people. Some are excerpted. Each interview is prefaced with commentary that is current and relevant to today, and it is the best part of the book. He is at his wittiest here. My overall favorite interview was with Sia, but this is a very chucky thick book full of interviews. I liked Rosie O'Donnells interview, who is now one of Howard's closest friends and Anderson Cooper. But they all are fun to read. It must have been extremely difficult to accept and then publicly admit he is embarrassed by his past. I respect him more! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Rock stars and rap gods. Comedy legends and A-list actors. Supermodels and centerfolds. Moguls and mobsters. A president. Over his four-decade career in radio, Howard Stern has interviewed thousands of personalities -- discussing sex, relationships, money, fame, spirituality, and success with the boldest of bold-faced names. But which interviews are his favorites? It's one of the questions he gets asked most frequently. Howard Stern Comes Again delivers his answer. Tracy Morgan opens up about his near-fatal car crash. Lady Gaga divulges her history with cocaine. Madonna reminisces on her relationship with Tupac Shakur. Bill Murray waxes philosophical on the purpose of life. Jerry Seinfeld offers a master class on comedy. Harvey Weinstein denies the existence of the so-called casting couch. An array of creative visionaries weigh in on what Stern calls "the climb" -- the stories of how they struggled and eventually prevailed. Interspersed throughout are selections from the Howard Stern Show archives with Donald Trump that depict his own climb: transforming from Manhattan tabloid fixture to reality TV star to president of the United States. Stern also tells of his Moby Dick-like quest to land an interview with Hillary Clinton in the run-up to the 2016 election. He speaks with extraordinary candor about a variety of subjects, including his overwhelming insecurity early in his career, his revolutionary move from terrestrial radio to SiriusXM, and his belief in the power of psychotherapy. As Stern notes in the introduction: "The interviews collected here represent my best work and show my personal evolution. But they don't just show my evolution. Gathered together like this, they show the evolution of popular culture over the past quarter century." Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

What is funny is I do not listen to his show, but I did enjoy his first book. With that, all of these were new to me while they may be repeats to his radio fans. He gets people to talk about things that one might not be ready to talk about, but he gets them to. Some are childish, which he admits, but some are really deep or informative.
It is a good library pick. ( )
