Not as okay. insightful. i listened to probably 95% of these interviews over the years so wasn't sure how into it i would be to READ bits and pieces. Not as good as listening, but you do take away and absorb it differently.
my takeaway: there are repetitive questions howard asks his guests over the years and they are very clearly all about himself and HIS issues with his dad and his fame. It's like he's trying to work his shit out with his guests...over and over again....more
