The NY Post ran an article today about Stern planning a "farewell tour" that will be "the biggest tailgate party in the history of this country" when he abandons terrestrial radio later this year.
"I'm coming to town. I'm ready to go. Let me out of here," Stern told listeners Friday, promising a coast-to-coast motorcade of buses bearing "the hottest chicks in the country" and various rock bands.
Howard fed to the speculation that Viacom won't wait until January 1, 2005 to take him off the air. "It's gonna be unbelievable - I'm telling you, the day they throw me off, it happens the next day," he said.
"I'm really gonna be with the people, and any hot chicks I meet on the road are allowed to be in the buses, and I'll collect them all over the country.
"By the time I get to California, it'll be busloads of, like, 5,000 of the hottest chicks in the country," Stern vowed.
Howard Stern has been playing nice ever since he was forced to tone down mentions of Sirius Satellite Radio by Infinity. Now instead of saying "Sirius" he simply refers to his future employer as "uh uh uh" - but everyone knows what he's talking about. Though I doubt Viacom is going to let Howard Stern go before his contract expires, the speculation he's able to generate will only feed into the hype even further. Love him or hate him, with this farewell tour, he'll definitely generate publicity for himself and Sirius, as only Howard can.
