Pride in the product you put out
Vicki
many other markets. Your margin in NYC was almost double what the number
two station got in rating points.
You just struggled through yet another 5 year contract that paid you even
more millions than your last. This happened as your ratings hit an all time
low in NYC. So low that they were at the level of your days of NBC when you
were still struggling to make everyone know who you were.
You have lots of money now. Far more than you will ever need. Enough to
live in luxury simply living off your investments. Never needing to work
again. You dumped the wife hooked up with a dumb whore and if you'd like
you can move new and younger whores in and out at your whim.
But you are, deep down, still a competitive person. You brush away all
defeats by attributing them to actions of others. All the others who hate
you and just can't appreciate your greatness. You yourself have never done
anything wrong.
A satellite company in dire straits comes to you. They are number two by a
wide margin. And they decide that they are going to go all in. You either
make them relevant and at least take them to an equal level with XM - or
they go under within a year. They take the risk by paying more money than
anyone - any company in the world would pay you. No one would pay you this
much in today's value of the dollar even when you were at the height of your
entertainment dominance.
You early took the money. And though you have become delusional, you
certainly know that when they go under, the money stops and you have no
recourse to recover the remaining dollars owed you on your contract.
You new job is a big under taking with hundreds of employees depending on
you to secure their future employment.
Most people would want to start off with a bang. Put on a show that even on
it's worse day would be a laugh riot compared to your current show. Most
people would do some re staffing, or at the very least bring in some really
funny people. Writers who can command a big fat salary since they are at
the top of their game. Get back to really taking pride in the product you
put out as your radio show.
But not you - you old douche. Your current writers are the joke. If you
had to replace them, you would do no worse than rounding up some homeless
people hanging around the Port Authority terminal.
You remember when your name alone allowed you to slide. When listeners gave
you a "pass" because they remembered the hilarious years and figured that
you would surely turn funny again, and do it soon.
Those times have come and gone. Now those who admire you, the few that are
left, think lighting a fart is just the funniest fucking thing that anyone
could do. To them, pure comedy genius.
Try to bank every dollar that sirius pays you. By this time next year they
will be long gone and so will all those millions that you thought you would
pocket for just showing up - you douche.

Another personal letter to Howard? Do you really think he even know's
you exist much less be hanging on your every word? You need help.

Delusional is the key word. Howard can't accept that he's getting older,
can't accept that he's no longer on the cutting edge. Did he ever consider
concentrating on his sometimes insightful interviews, the occasional wry
remarks and reflections as opposed to scat humor? Maybe figure out who his
audience is and grow a little with us? He could have maintained some dignity
and kept a profitable show going. The lack of talent and substance
surrounding him is due to his infantile egomaniac behavior and also
perpetuates it. Nobody is there to give him a wake-up call, or try and steer
him in the right direction. Soon he will be wondering where it all went.

Jackie has no talent. Every joke the guy told was an old joke, even the ones
