...and we get the evolution of The Losers for the week.

* and now my e-mail that I sent to Howard.

Thanks Howard, I wish I could relate to your elaborate lifestyle of living in the Hamptons with your hot fiance, but I'm just an ordinary joe with a less than glamorous job. I do have a hot girlfriend if that's any consolation.

I'm still going to keep my subscription and not be all dramatic and say that I'm sick of your vacations (or the timing of them) and that I'm canceling my subscription since I do like SIRIUS. But I'm just saying you suck. I'm still a fan, but you suck.

Thanks again brother. Yes, you're an ass.

(Think they'll read this next week? Doubt it)

    There is one thing that I realize when I'm able to listen to the "shows gone by" ....

    The shows (pre-Sirius) can't hold a candle to what he's doing now. They actually suck monster balls in comparison. They sound forced. Retarded. I know he was breaking ground back then but it almost sounds like he jumping through hoops or rolling over or something. Doing tricks, you know? I dunno. Maybe I'm hearing something that isn't there because I'm kinda jaded, too. It's now one week of vacaction for two or three weeks of shows. 52 weeks in a year and almost 20 of it is vacation. I get 2 per year and it took me 4 years to earn it.

    I don't think they'll read it. Too much "real" for him to read. So he can't relate. He's not one of "us" anymore.

      I gotta say, I couldn't be less interested in the Losers thing they're doing all week. Luckily I dig other Sirius programming, so I am just going to listen to other stuff this week. Once Howard leaves, I'm cancelling my Sirius subscription for sure though.

        He still does a good show even though I can't relate to him anymore. I could only dream that I could have his life.

        As for cancelling Sirius XM after Howard leaves, I doubt I'll be doing that. Regular radio just doesn't do it for me and I'm constantly on the road for work. I'm attached to a lot of the music stations like the Underground Garage, Hard Attack and the Punk Channel. And what can I say, I'm still a fan of Bubba (even tho I think he might leave if Howard does).

        Personally, I think Howard will stay. But he'll probably be doing an afternoon show probably three days a week (Tues, Weds. & Fri), and will probably be doing only 6 shows per month. I'd be cool with that.

        I only wish that as a host he would inform us - the fans - that he's taking a week off. Just be honest, that's all. Is that too much to ask?

          >> As for cancelling Sirius XM after Howard leaves, I doubt I'll be doing that. <<

          Same here. The music channels rock! Especially with no commercials. There is other programming/channels that I like as well.

          BTW, in regards to Bubba AND Scotty Ferrall, I think Sirius kinda dicked them with The "Mad Dog".

          I think Scotty will stick around but Bubba might tell Sirius "C-ya" since his terrestrial radio gig is doing good. Bubba's seriously pissed about that.

          You know what's funny? That we're talking about Sirius "post-Howard"! I mean Howard constantly toys and teases with the notion of "this is it" sooo much that I think "Then F****** quit already!" and just assume that in a little over two years he's gone.

    And guess what? Next week is Labor Day. So he'll probably take at least Monday off and perhaps the whole week.

      I was thinking that today at work. Wouldn't surprise me.

        If Howard does leave, I doubt Bubba will follow. His show is only in the Tampa Area, but if his show really takes off and get's syndicated, then it's bye bye. That's a HUGE possibility too. Terrestrial radio is looking for another "Howard" and that's Bubba! He also has Stern fans - like myself - that'll follow him. SIRIUS XM will drop the ball if they don't keep him.

        As for Howard leaving...I doubt that too. He needs to be on the radio, his radio ego is way too big. The private Howard and the radio Howard is like a Yin and Yang. If one of them is missing, then his world will crash. Like I said, I think he'll be doing afternoons and maybe three live shows every other week.
