the most recent column ala dirty sanchez is available at www.nypress.com under
"music"...like he says in the interview, he writes it anonymously in the new
york press -- although now he's out about it, he's still going to. the new one
-- at the website listed above -- is hilarious. but his columns are not
regularly on the web -- so new yawkers, hook us up please with the rest as they
become available.

howard stern transcripts: monday 6 a.m.
hs: doughty from soul coughing, we've had the guys -- you know soul
coughing...
that lady: they performed that song in here!
hs: they sure did. doughty?
md: yeah!
hs: i'm listening to this ehhh you know, ricky martin 'shake your bon bon'?
md: i..i..i like to think of it as a 'homage'
hs: i kinda feel like you got somethin going here
md: well, i don't know i don't know all i know is there's a lot of puerto
rican girls in my neighborhood and now i got somethin to talk to them about.
hs: here wait listen -- i'll play them both again. here is, of course, soul
coughing (chorus plays..."super bon bon super bon bon super bon bon super bon
bon bon bon"..howard starts singing along)
md: heheheeeeheheh ... do you wanna make a remix of that?
hs: and here is ricky martin ("shake your bon bon shake your bon bon"...) now
if i remember correctly, you said the term 'super bon bon' came about when you
were in germany or something?
md: uh, we were in switzerland or italy or somethin on this european tour, and
it was just right after we had played in amsterdam so we were in a certain mind
frame.
hs: and super bon bon is not a common phrase somewhere -- this is a term you
made up
md: well, it's a candy bar
hs: but you made up the term 'super bon bon'! bon bon is the candy!
md: nononono actually, there's an italian candy bar called super bon bon.
hs: oh so it's not like this is something somebody would sing about. it's not
like it's a phrase that means you know... 'i love you'
md: no. heheheeeehehehehe
that lady: but even the way he's saying it is 'shake your bon bon' like 'super
bon bon'
md: yeah it's kinda awesome because i think its just under the par...whatever
number of notes it is where we could get paid
hs: so you mean you don't have a case?
md: no! oh hell no! no no no!
hs: so then what the hell are we talking about here?
md: well, i just wanted to impress some puerto rican girls. puerto rican
girls of new york: ricky martin loves me! he wants to be me!
hs: right. i mean it's important to point these things out, i guess. it's
true you want some credit
that lady: yeah, he's the hottest thing going and he's singing *your* song!!
hs: doughty....do you think it could be....a coincedence? or do you think
this is a direct rip?
md: um.. heheheheeeehehehe
hs: doughty, what are you on, baby?
that lady: did you just visit amsterdam again?
md: well i wouldn't use the word 'rip'...i would use the word 'homage'
hs: you would use the word 'homage'..so you think he heard, (of course, the
song 'super bon bon' it was a very popular song,) and heard it and said 'hey i
know...shake your bon bon!'
md: first of all, he didn't write it.
hs: oh!
md: that guy desmond child. you know -- the king of the 80s powerballads?
hs: right right
md: yeah, so that, to me, is even more impressive.
hs: i see. so you think desmond child heard your song and i wouldn't doubt
it...
that lady: and he was inspired!
hs: a little more than inspiration -- they're very very similar.
that lady: he says, you know, that could be another song!
md: but the lyrics are like...oh my god...the sahara and sand...and oh, it's
terrible. it's like a hallmark card that goes on too long
that lady: you can't really listen to the lyrics.
hs: yeah, that's all ricky martin songs
md: oh no, i disagree!
hs: really?
md: oh yeah. 'la vida loca'? poetic masterpiece!
hs: ha ha
md: no doubt
hs: so what are you guys up to?
md: well, we got this song coming out called 'st. louise is listening'...we're
just chillin right now. i'm writing a column for the new york press called
'dirty sanchez'...uh, i'm putting out a solo record.
hs: do you live in new york?
md: yeah.
hs: oh i didn't know that
md: i moved back
hs: so you guys are just chillin for awhile?
md: we're just chillin for awhile.
hs: chill a little bit. alright, good. so, uh, there it is -- the mystery is
uncovered!
md: give me some money!
hs: yeah, where's the money?
md: where IS the money? ou est la monnais???
hs: show me the money!
md: OU EST LA MONNAIS??
hs: ha ha ha..sitting in your house waiting for money. aren't we all
