Howard Stern - Billboard Cover Story
Read this earlier today and thought it would be great if Haley could ever be interviewed on his show. No small task as I think his interviews are usually with established artists.

Excerpts:

Quote:Let's talk about your interviewing skills. They've been honed through the years to where now you bring in guests for 90 minutes with no breaks. With the freedoms of satellite, you're able to provide a forum that can win guests of all walks new fans, due to the way that you open them up and show them in a new light.

Specifically with musicians. I have tremendous respect for musicians. I always saw myself as a useful tool for advertisers because I try to sell product and keep people interested, and a useful tool for the music industry or the film industry.

I like that Lady Gaga chose to come to me when promoting ["ARTPOP"]. She said to me afterward, "Thank God for a good interview. I've done so many dumb ones. Thank you."

People come in and what we do is a really in-depth examination of their life. Again, we do a tremendous amount of research. A lot of publicists come to me in confidence, warning that their clients are introverted. Afterward they go, "Wow, it can be done."

I see our show as having become a place for musicians to walk in and be treated with respect. One of the musicians I respect the most is Billy Joel. I remember Billy was on Oprah [Winfrey's] show one time, and she was just not treating him with respect, and I was like, "Why the fuck is she doing this? Does she know who he is? How difficult it was for him and his career path and how many thousands of hours he put into his career?"

He came into my studio, sat down at a piano and started talking about the process. He said, "The first time I heard the Beatles and they did this riff"—and he starts playing it—"I wanted to do a song that's just as good." He showed how he does it. It was just magic. I didn't have to ask if it was good. I just knew it was.

Quote:How influential has music been in your life?

Music saved my life. I wasn't a particularly happy kid. I was a lonely kid. I can remember every album I bought, when I bought it and sitting in my room and listening to it. I remember getting a Band album and the record was warped. I mailed it back to the record company. Music meant everything to me. I wrote a paper in high school about George Harrison and the rest of the Beatles being prophets. To me, that was religion.

Quote:Does it frustrate you that, according to Nielsen ratings and SiriusXM's subscriber data, late-night TV shows have a small fraction of SiriusXM's audience, yet they seem to have favored status?

Thank you for saying that, because so many artists go, "Oh, we get to go on 'The Tonight Show'!" We have an audience of paying customers. Talk about motivated people, people who actually have to pay for this. We have an incredibly upscale audience, and people don't realize that. We have seen a shift, though. Artists are getting the message.

Metallica just came in—not just playing, but sitting and bullshitting. On our show, for some reason, people do forget that the microphone's there. That's the trick.

There is a give-and-take. You've got to want to. I don't want anyone in my studio who doesn't want to be there. We have such great interviews with Paul McCartney. You can ask "What did you say to John?" at a certain time, and he has that recall. He remembers everything. I remember playing "Ooh You" from his first solo record. He goes, "You know that song?" Of course I do!

What an incredible situation to sit with Paul McCartney and get to speak with him. He's been on three times now, and whenever he has a new project, he comes right in. I feel so good that he feels comfortable. He's very open. He gets a lot off his chest. I take a lot of pride in that.

Quote:Which living musician would you love to interview?

I've always said Neil Young, but who knows if he'd be a good interview or not. I'm just a big fan. Prince is another one. It would somehow be really interesting.

I had David Bowie on my show, and I'm a super-huge fan — this was years ago when I was on terrestrial radio. He came and played but he didn't want to be interviewed. That was a big disappointment to me. I would have loved to talk about his career. I could do two hours on his fashion and what a brilliant guy and artist he is.

Quote:Do you stay current with pop music?

Yeah. We had Katy Perry on the show and she was really great. I love her music. Miley Cyrus has committed to come on the show. I would love to interview her. She's making really great music. I love pop music. My tastes go all over the place.

Quote:Well, if you're going to mention Fartman, can you relate to acts like Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus and, really, all kinds of attention-seeking stunts?

I've learned a lot. Sometimes I look at that and I know that pressure to feel like you have to pull your pants off in front of the world. What I've learned is, you don't always need to do that if you have something to say or you're a real artist. But when you're young you don't know that and you feel this pressure to succeed. That kind of pressure sucks away your creativity. You're so consumed with yourself that you can't hear anything else.

If I had any advice for anyone, it would be that you might not need all of that attention-grabbing.

Conclusion:
Quote:I just want to have a place on the radio that can be spectacular for guests. That's the direction I want to keep moving in. I want them to come in and talk about how they create.

People love it. They love to hear the struggle and how someone gets somewhere in life.

Everyone is a good interview.
