Howard Stern on WWWW-FM/Detroit the morning after John Lennon was killed: 12/9/80

Howard Stern on WWWW-FM in morning drive the morning after John Lennon was killed: 12/9/80. Here's the description on the YouTube video:
"The morning after John Lennon's murder, I made a recording from the radio of Howard Stern on W4 (WWWW) Detroit. It was a horrible day, now 40 years ago. It still hurts and we still miss him. Rest peacefully, John, then return to earth in another form.

This is a continuous recording, with the music cut out and a short break to flip the tape before an interview with the late Ray Coleman from Melody Maker magazine. There's also a good report from Dara Welles from The Source. I've held onto this cassette 40 years, until today.

Great clip!!! Shouldn't you be posting this in the Detroit forum as opposed to Lansing?

Sounds like semi-monotone rambling to me.

Or mumbling like Don Imus. I never have figured out why Howard Stern is supposed to be so great. Michigan has seen much better personalities pass through.

Most of the others who "passed through" did not get the audiences and the listener loyalty he did. The only others who came close were Mike Wallace, Hugh Downs and Danny Thomas.

Others that passed through don't appeal to Spectrum type like yourself.

We don't have Spectrum out our way.
