I like Klinghoffer but he's also lucky to be there. I would love to be "ignored" while hanging out with band and jamming with them. First world problems.

Probably not. He was too excited by Mike's pedals.

i love when howard is talking to mike about how he ever became interested in playing guitar, and mike says something about being in cub scouts, and stone (maybe jeff too?) starts cracking up.

For real...Even Ed was bowled over...Picked YL as the last song to play because he said he "hadn't seen him play it like that in the room in a while" when Mike starting noodling it earlier in the interview when Howard was asking about it.

Awesome
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

It's the Howard Stern show! That's how his show has always been. This is nothing new.
