19 Jun 02 - 02:53 PM (#733089) Subject: RE: Is Howard Stern considered a folksinger? From: GUEST,carny I've heard "Tortured Man". While it may deal with themes of existential yearning and working-class angst, I would be hard-pressed to classify it as a folk song. But I could be wrong. |

22 Jun 02 - 12:58 AM (#734623) Subject: RE: Is Howard Stern considered a folksinger? From: Murray MacLeod For an alternative (or alternate, as my transatlantic friends would say) view of the merits of Howard Stern, by one of the most respected performers in the American folk scene, check out This link here and click on the article "Doing Howard Stern". His TV show (which is really a radio show with a TV camera recording everything) is one of these cult things that you either love or hate. I can accept that some people may find it embarrassing or jejune, but I cannot accept that he merits comparison with Jerry Springer or similar exploitative (exploitational?) shows. Stern is at least unfailingly honest, even if some of his subject matter may be of less than world-shattering importance. Murray |

22 Jun 02 - 04:45 AM (#734654) Subject: RE: Is Howard Stern considered a folksinger? From: GUEST,Janis Ian Why is it so odd to see Janis Ian laughing with Howard Stern? When he says "Oh Janis, if you'd only slept with the right man you'd be straight" and I reply "Oh Howard, if you'd only slept with the right man you'd be gay" -- and he agrees that there's always the possibilty -- it sends a message to his core demographic of white 15-to-25-year-old males that they get from no one else on radio. That message is tolerance and acceptance. I have had earnest boys in full hetero drag appear backstage to say that their evening's choice was "between you and Alice In Chains, but you were on Howard so we came here". I've watched an audience comprised mainly of heterosexual couples interact with me, a lesbian, in a positive way. Remember, these are the kids who think all lesbians are fat, ugly man-haters who want penises for Christmas, and all queer men are sissies who couldn't get a girl. As performers, Howard Stern and I attempt to do exactly the same thing -- to break down the stereotypes. Sounds pretty folk to me. -Janis |

24 Jun 02 - 12:08 PM (#735786) Subject: RE: Is Howard Stern considered a folksinger? From: GUEST,jeffy Just gave "Tortured Man" a good, hard listen. Considering the comments from Janis Ian, and the working-class themes of the song itself, I would definitely tend to qualify Howard as a folksinger. His voice is far from superb, which is also in the folk tradition. Howard Stern a folksinger. Who's have thunk it!?!? |

24 Jun 02 - 12:31 PM (#735800) Subject: RE: Is Howard Stern considered a folksinger? From: GUEST,Mike Strobel Every one who performs a song could be considered or " classified" or marketed as a " folksinger or a jazz singer or a pop singer.....etc, etc, etc . Does Howard Stern have much redeeming value ( none in my own opinion ), however , in a world that could value a " National Geographic Series " on TV over a show like Howard's ...well " look whose on TV and RADIO everyday. Is Howard a folksinger compared to Sandy Paton or Janis Ian......not even close. Mike |

He's a child who has created his own world and has total say as to what goes on in it. What amazes me is the emotions his silliness has evoked all over America. Just mention his name and the fur flies. So funny. Am I the only one who's ambivilent(sp?) to this guy? As I said, sometimes he makes me laugh, and sometimes I turn him off shaking my head.
