Description from www.Howardstern.com:

In the clip, Frank mentioned he appeared on a talk show in Washington, D.C., the night before to challenge two politicians about free speech. When Frank went on to say he decided to be on the show because he thought its hosts were “full of shit,” Howard had to remind him that the FCC didn’t allow such language on the air. This led Frank to say the FCC’s function wasn’t to control the content of radio and television broadcasts, but instead was to control their bandwidth. Frank added he felt personalities should be able to talk the way they do in their real lives, which Howard noted was a problem he was experiencing. Frank replied people want to hear “natural” discourse, but the FCC was preventing that from happening.

Howard asked Frank why he didn’t perform at Live Aid, which had been held a few weeks before his interview and he said it was because he felt the concert was “the biggest money laundering scheme of all time.” After Frank pointed out that was just his opinion about the event, he mentioned that if the United States government officials were truly interested in getting food to Ethiopians as was the purpose of Live Aid, they would’ve sent troops to the country to hand it out themselves. Frank went on to say the tickets for Live Aid cost $30 with a $25 service charge and anyone who wanted to eat had to pay an additional $20. Robin then pointed out it was hard to find a man of Frank’s conviction.

After Frank talked about the trouble he had with getting his album, “Thing-Fish,” released due to its lyrical content, Frank asked listeners to send him money – even a quarter – to help him raise funds so he could travel to Capital Hill [sic] to talk about pornography. Frank explained he needed to raise the money because he spent most of his own releasing his music, adding, because radio stations refused to play his albums, he had to constantly find ways to get them out to the public. Howard and Frank proceeded to play “Louie, Louie” with Howard on piano and Frank on guitar, before Frank told Howard he was glad his program was on the air and that he hoped he’d never experience any problems with the FCC.

I can seed this until @ 930 AM ET on Thursday, February 2d, and then I will be offline until Sunday night, February 5th, at @ 8:00 PM ET. If people could keep their windows open during this time to ensure conceptual continuity, I would be grateful. Thanks!

Thanks for this request!! This appears to be the only available copy, well if you have better, we can deal with it! Thanks again, I appreciate the very quick response. A nice surprise. I seed a lot of interviews, and I have listened to all of mine...It is super nice to hear something new. Hopefully we can upgrade this down the road. Also thanks to Zappateers for this slight indulgence. I will reciprocate with some lossless Stern not on the tracker too!
From Lagz I have a 1st gen from 91 with Dweezil, we can start with that.
Again thanks Mudshaark, this place relies on it's members, thanks for stepping up.
In 5 years nobody offered an upgrade, so again thanks to all.

Looks like this is in good hands, with 24 seeders and one downloader presently (thanks to those sticking around to help seed). Accordingly, I am signing off until next week for some much needed R&R in the Sunshine State. cooler

Enjoy the interview -- it's got a lot of interesting tidbits in only 19 minutes!

This show actually aired in 1985-just prior to the hearings. Also the same year Howard was fired from NBC.
