Artie Lange

[prothunderball]

I didn't listen to Stern when he was on FM and I don't listen to him now, but I've always kind of liked Artie Lange(I think mostly because of Dirty Work and I have soft spot for fat slobs). I was bummed when he started working for Stern becuase it made me feel dirty for liking him. I hope he does leave and maybe I'll feel just that much cleaner.

[roefmLI]

If that really is Artie Lange (now photo), working for Stern and moving to Sirius really took a toll! He needs to evacuate the cave he's been in.

PSSST...Mr. Stu, from the pictures i've seen, you look waaaaaaaaaaay better.

[JPMNICK]

[AKA]

Artie is a riot - he has been a great fit on the show. His comedy DVD is excellent too - includes behind the scenes footage with Norton and Club Soda Kenny at a club.

Those pictures gave me nightmares last night.

[burrben]

i've always liked artie, and now that he's not gonna be on stern anymore, i can like him more...at least for the next year or so before his heart attack

[K.C.]

That's a big loss for Stern...most of the people I talk to who've listened to Stern in the last few years all pretty much say Artie was the best thing about the show.

I wonder who he's going to replace him with...because Stern can't really carry a show without a comedian anymore (I'm not trying to rip him, just stating an opinion...I don't believe O&A can carry a show without a third mic comedian anymore like their old days as well).

[NickyL0885]

The leading canidated to replace artie would be Greg Fitzsimmons and Jim Florentine. Both would be perfect. They are great when they are on the show. Personally, i prefer Greg over Jim. Plus, Howard suggested him first when they talked about it.

[JimBeam]

So is it official or is it just still speculation ?

I know they were going at it a few weeks ago because Stern was blabbing something that Artie thought he told him in confidence.

Might have been the straw that broke the back.

[Crippler]

Yeah, there definitely was a very uncomfortable hour or so on the show a little while ago. Not as vicious as Opie/Norton, but you could tell there were hard feelings under the surface. I wouldn't be surprised if it was this discussion more than anything that lead to Artie "considering" leaving.

[pennington]

Wow, listening to those audio clips I see Robin is still a trouble starter, Gary's head is still impossibly up Howard's ass and Fred is still playing the same sound bites from 1990.

I hope Artie follows through and leaves that mess.

fuck Artie that sell out ass kissing bitch:wallbash:

[maxx99bx]

F. Artie ! Bring back Jackie !!!! It doesnt really matter anyway. Stern will wait for the merger, cash in his stock options when the price is at its highest and retire before signing a new contract.

[Death Metal Moe]

Who?

I disagree - I think that's pretty compelling stuff. Robin is worthless, though.

I'd have to to disagree. I love it when they go old school and just bounce things back and forth between each other, it helps Op shine more on the talking side of things.

As far as Artie goes, whatever.

but then who would talk about tugjobbing little boys?

i think if he leaves, artie would always stay loyal to stern. that would mean he's not likely to trash him, but it's possible that he could sit in with O&A, if only to prove that he's always been cool with jimmy.

do you think Stern would be loyal to him at all if he had anything to do with O&A? I would think someone that was his sidekick for so long having anything to do with O&A would be too much for his ego to handle.

[Don Stugots]

i am 10 mins into clip 1 and this is painful to listen too. "hey now" is how fucking old now? dicks. Artie is the saving grace of this show. everyone else on there sucks a cock.

[Don Stugots]

"bros" "you dont know what it means to be a bro."

artie should be happy not to be a "bro". "bro" means dick licker.

[Don Stugots]

sounds to me like Howie just wanted to hang out with a cool kid.

[Ogre]

Who?

word

[KnoxHarrington]

Even in the old days, the least funny, most annoying person on the show, in many ways, was Howard himself. That's why Jackie slipped him those notes under the table, so that occasionally he'd have something that sounded like he might have a funny line in him.

[IMSlacker]

i am 10 mins into clip 1 and this is painful to listen too. "hey now" is how fucking old now? dicks. Artie is the saving grace of this show. everyone else on there sucks a cock.

You're a better man than I am. I had to tap out at around the five minute mark. Listening to Robin babble is like someone sticking knives in my ears.

[JimBeam]

I heard it live and all I could think was that I wanted Robin to get cancer.

There's one point where Howard asks Artie what was the other time he betrayed confidence and ASrtie couldnt remember the exact time and Robin was like then it can't be true.

Like Artie has to fuckin' validate his feelings to her ?

If he felt betrayed that's how he felt and he doesnt have to tell the story to Robin in order for it to matter.

It was much better in the old days when she was disinterested in everything that was going one and/or a devil's advocate against Stern.

Now she just does and says everything he says.

i listen everyday, and the thing i really notice: with the five hour show, the wrap up show and the half dozen other side shows -- there's way too much time to fill and every thought is expressed ... they dwell on the smallest of topics and their commentaries ramble endlessly

[CYYYFYYY]

I agree Robin was the touble maker

I think Artie got caught up n the arguement and said he was going to leave but he is already back tracking. I would be SHOCKED if he left.

If this was the first time I listened to the show I would have thought it was something like the View. Howard crying, you are no longer my Bro. I mean sheesh!

[JimBeam]

Really.

Whether it's fair to Stern or not none of these people are his real friends.

While I'm sure he's had personal relationships w/ those that have been there a long time in the end he is still their boss.

The show, love it or hate it, is about Stern and all others are there as supporting cast.

All on the show spend so much time kissing his ass he's lead to believe that it's out of friendship as opposed to a job.

I don't dislike Stern personally but I think it's his own fault he's viewed this way.

[Bellyfullasnot]

I must be drunk. I can't tell if that's Marlon Brando, Stephen Segal, or Joey Butafuco.

You nailed it! I knew it was Joey but I heard "Where's Lupo?" when I saw it.

[yomudder21]

I think Artie looks fine. I don't see what the big deal is........BRING BACK JACKIE.

[aceofspades7]

i doubt artie will leave but who knows. also, i think it's the heroin addiction medicine that has caused him to blow up. lesson learned - don't do heroin - or is it don't do heroin addiction medicine...

[DolaMight]

This is a perfect example of why everybody on Howard's staff are all yes-men. Everyone's opinionated but it's all Howard's opinion. So hard to listen to.

Artie for once in his life talks back to Howard and the next day the entire show is is a pile-on "you were outa line bro" and talk of you might as well leave the show. Robin is just a bitch, just attacking her friend Artie because Howard is.

[mildly amusing]

i am 10 mins into clip 1 and this is painful to listen too. "hey now" is how fucking old now? dicks. Artie is the saving grace of this show. everyone else on there sucks a cock.

to answer your completely rhetorical question..."hey now" is from 1992...which is probably the last time Stern was relevant, what with Butt Bongo Fiesta and all...

I've always liked Artie...he comes off as a regular guy from jersey and tells some really funny stories...he should leave the show...obviously his big problem is that he won't suck Howard's dick all the time...tell em Fred...

I always liked Artie on that show. I found his addictions to be part of his persona, much like Jimmy Norton has his addictions.... granted they are for different things.

I can't get over how big Artie got. Clearly his addictions are just being replaced (food instead of cocaine or heroin).

You, sir, make a good point.

Stern has surrounded himself with yes men and hanger-oners for so long, he actually believes they're his friends. I bet he even believes that silicone-enhanced girlfriend would love him even if he was a nobody making making nothing.

Your not serious right? I remember Stern when Jackie left and before Artie took over, it was unlistenable. Plus i think we were subjected to a lot of Boo Whoo my wife left me talk around the same time. Artie saved the show (for a time) and is now killing himself. Stern is selfish and don't give too shits.

Rich and Sal are crap. Artie treated them with the contempt they deserve.

[conman823]

Wow. I didn't think he could look any worse, but he continues to spiral.

You sure it isn't "He must be rich and content in his life." ?

On a side note I think a lot of these comics who "Go clean" just end up angry at people who are still in that life style. Not everyone can be "sober" and eat yogurt with berries for breakfast everyday. If he is sad then its his business, he might just be enjoying life.

I wish him the best.

Of course I'm not sure. I don't know the man personally and I haven't listened to the Stern show since he left terrestrial radio.

I would, however, be willing to bet large sums of money that Artie doesn't feel "rich" and "content" in his life.

I listened to the clip, I'm with Artie on this one. Same old Howard, he instigates and instigates and when he see people are upset he purposely makes it worse then he acts innocent. Artie was right, he did this to Fred years ago and apparently even Robin saw how he was manipulating things.

I'm still amazed I used to be a fan of this guy. I really hope he just goes away when his contract is up.

[hexy68]

stern always pulls one of these stunts before vacation...he doesn't work on Fridays and they're off next week...this is the perfect cliff hanger pre vaca :thumbdown:

[Gvac]

Like I said before, Artie will be dead within a few years. He's clearly an unhappy person. And the "I'm not a good person" mantra that he was saying is indicative of someone who has some deep issues.

Sad story.

[badorties]

he passed out on the show the day before (second time in as many weeks), and was quite surly and grumpy for the rest of the show and on the wrap-up show ... maybe that chip on his shoulder forced his hand a little bit today

any slight pressure placed on artie (especially from stern) and he irrationally snaps and threatens to quit

Howie's contract smacks of one last big cash-out. That is, take a half billion dollars, then go rattle around the Hamptons.

Sirius only paid him that because they were absolutely desperate for something. Even Karamazin has said they'd never give anyone a contract like that again.

Yeah. He is reaally desperate for the money, so he had Artie pretend to have a nervous breakdown on the air. Howard has ALREADY said if he does come back, it won't be mornings any more and probably less days, so money won't be the issue.

But that is what Knox is saying - Stern gets his final payment from Sirius at the end of his contract, then hangs it up. He will have made well more than $600 million after everything is said and done. Of course it won't be about more money.

How many fewer days can the guy do? He only does 4 a week now. Maybe a taped weekend show or something?

I wonder if after his contract is up he will find away to sell all his re-runs for another pay day.

[SPeeDy_Freak]

Artie is a funny comedian... not in the category as a Brian Regan but he is funny and is good on the show.

Perhaps Artie is a nice person. There have been many that have mentioned his generosity.

But anyone who throws that out there promoting how much they have done for others as a good person is not being genuine.

The real spirit of being a giving person is to do it and never use it against someone.... especially in a public forum like this.

Was Teddy incompetent in his job? Perhaps. But for Artie to throw his salary out over the air and then bring up the kid's financial and drug problems is too much.

Plus, what was the purpose of acting the bully? He does that with people on the show that he has a higher standard than.

I will give him credit for calling out howard as the instigator in this incident.

I think that this is a real event and that Stern pulled the show from the air (no replay) because he needs to determine if there are going to be repercussions from him or to him from Sirius as a result.

Look for Artie to take a leave of absence when the show returns. I don't think he will maintain his resignation nor do I think that he will be fired.

[high fly]

I used to think Lange was funny but now I just think he's a jerk....

[badorties]

i heard the audio, and it didn't seem like a bit ... within the last year, he's violently gone after employees (both physically and verbally) and he's missed excessive work due to lifestyle choices

artie is a hate filled, overly indulgent junkie (and degenerate gambler) with a history of blowing up spots and burning bridges ... hopefully, he'll cool down and get some help to clear his head out

in a discussion of artie's anti-social behavior, why bring up stern's finances ...? he's had the good fortune to be the right guy at the right time, and he's profited handsomely from it -- does that make him any less entertaining ...?

in the 1990s, when stern was at what's considered the zeinth of his art, he was a chauffered multi-millionaire living in a mansion in oyster bay

What is the time frame for his dismise?
He has been on real bumpy road for the last three or four years.
I went to see him on stage and was very upset I had to pay for the shit show he put on.

When Artie Lange joined the permanent cast of The Howard Stern Show in 2001, it was possibly the greatest thing ever to happen in the Stern universe, second only to the show’s move to the wild, uncensored frontier of satellite radio.

:huh:

[badorties]

:huh:

the stern universe has never been modest

artie's on such a slow downward spiral of the last few years, he's become a bad characticture of his act

there are a few moments of brilliance on the show of late, but his average has really plummeted ... his 'gift' of storytelling has devolved with rambling prefecase and asides, his live act seems to border on the wack pack level with the freaks thrown in

I just finished reading Too Fat To Fish, it's actually a good book. He's pretty brutal with himself (it's an autobiography) but it's funny too.

If Artie wasn't associated with dickhead Stern, I'm sure this is the type of self-described junkie's story Oprah would love to promote. Too bad his addictions aren't in the past, he's a funny guy (I actually own a DVD of Beer League but then again, I also own a DVD of Cabin Boy).

never saw Beer League but you possession of Cabin Boy is interesting... you may have a very rare but equally disturbing sense of humor... what did you think of the sitcom "Get a Life" and the movie "Dumb and Dumberer, When Harry met Lloyd" (the sequel, not the original)?

[Space Edge]

Artie says he is clean and has been off Suboxone for 8 days according to him on this weeks stern show, hopefully he stays clean he is one funny motherfucker.

[beachbum]

I've never listened to Artie do stand up but I have listened to some Howie lately.I still don't like the show and I haven't ever heard Artie say anything funny.Seriously.Not once have I ever laughed at an Artie quip.

[nocountryjon1]

It looks like hes about to die. He looks like shit and i highly doubt that hes clean. Oh and he sucks at comedy very not funny.

[conman823]

Unfortunatley Arties ""condition" has affected his comedy as well. When he first came on Stern he was killer, now the recent shows I've downloaded he's just something for Howie to poke fun at. His lines are throw away at best.

[TheGameHHH]

i think what bothers me about Artie is everybody thinks his problems are funny, including himself. then when this dude dies in the next year or so people around him will be like, 'we tried to help, but he was too far gone'. he's been on a downward spiral for a few years now, i dont understand why stern doesnt pull his gig and suspend him without pay unless he goes to rehab for a minimum of 90 days, the same goes with club owners. dont let this guy earn a cent until he's clean. everybody has the freedom of choice and he shouldnt be forced to live clean if he doesnt want to, but at what point is it good human nature to step in and try to save a life?

Its fuckin true dude. Stern doesn't give a shit. If the guy dies on his show it will be interviews and ratings. Thats all he cares about. Artie could be fucking huge if he was to get his life in order.

Its a shame that we know so much more now about Rehab etc then they did 20 and 30 years ago when these comic/actors were dying and still you see guys like Artie. The people around them just enable.

The guy is tortured somehow, when he's really got so much in his life.

agreed, and this has nothing to do with my stance on Stern. I'm not an anti-Stern dude like majority of the 202 universe, but i have to be honest and say ive never really listened to his show except for like a year back in high school in 1997 before O&A got to NY. I'm just kinda indifferent about him, i respect him for what he did in the industry but now he just doesnt really register on my radar. nonetheless, i feel like he has a responsibility to try and act like a man here and he's really blowing it.

[NickyL0885]

They have tried to help him. Howard gave him a therapist to go to, gives him advice on eating better. Everyone on the show cares. Its all up at Artie though. Sure, its understandable to not believe that Artie is clean since he lied about that last time. But since that day he went nuts of his former assistent Teddy and tried to assault him, hes on a short leach. He fucks up again and hes gone.

Artie just needs to cut his comedy dates. He does too much. He'll fly to california over a weekend, get back late sunday night and then do a show on monday. Thats a horrible way to live. Even he admits he does too many dates.

[conman823]

Yeah how about Howie dig deep and send him too one of these High Priced Exclusive ReHabs?

How about it not be a bit and you sit him down off air and say "Hey take this help or your done here and I'll make sure your whole career is done." Then NOT bring it too the air, and when people ask just say "Arties on personal leave."

Its just sad when everything has to be on air or a bit. Sometimes peoples personal lives should be just that......personal.

[TooLowBrow]

Earlier this week, it was announced that Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange was hospitalized. As far as we know, the comedian is still being treated, for an undisclosed ailment.

Apparently though, the show must go on. Two days after the news, Comedy Central issued a press release stating that Lange's stand-up special, Artie Lange: Jack and Coke, will air later this month. There's a lot of speculation that the comedian is in the hospital due to his drug use. Sort of seems like weird timing, no?

Lange has had some very public problems with weight and drugs. He even chronicled a lot of his struggles in his best-selling memoir, Too Fat to Fish. Lange's other credits include MADtv, as well as the films Elf, Old School, and Beer League.

Artie Lange: Jack and Coke will debut Saturday, January 23 at 11:00 p.m. (EST) on Comedy Central.

I was flipping through the channels a couple of months ago and saw Artie on with Letterman. He said he lost 50 pounds and had a new girlfriend who's in her 20's. He looked good (well, for Artie). He looked like he used to.

It's odd they're not releasing why he's in the hospital; he's certainly been honest about his life (Too Fat To Fish is actually a good autobiography). Everybody is assuming he's in the hospital for drugs but he could have a medical problem. OK, the odds are everybody is correct but you never know...

[Melk]

Everybody is assuming he's in the hospital for drugs but he could have a medical problem. OK, the odds are everybody is correct but you never know...
I have to agree with you. I cannot judge Artie because I know nothing about his reason for entering a hospital. And even if I knew he was in the hospital for detox, who am I to judge?

Artie is fine on the Stern show. I think Stern is the problem. He used to have a mildly quirky staff of funny people. Now he has people with fairly messed up lives (Sal, Artie, Richard, etc). I don't find Howard scolding his staff every day funny or interesting.

[fezident]

It's almost impossible for this to be anything BUT drug related.

I mean... if the guy had diabetes or something, I can't think of one reason why he or anyone else would be secretive about it. If it's cancer... same thing. If he is HIV positive, there's a good chance that Artie would feel ashamed but, even still... he knows that it's gonna come out eventually.

I think he's truly and deeply ashamed that he OD'd (again?). His book does nothing but list all the ways that he (and his mother) are hellacious failures at life.

We've all partied. Some of us have taken it to extremes. But at some point, ya gotta quit that shit.

As cruel as it may sound... I kinda hope he dies already. It's what he wants. (I read his book). He wants that legend status. He wants that notoriety. He wants to not have to think/suffer/work through another day.

If he has spinal menengitis or some shit... yeah.. I guess that would suck. But that happens to a lot of people everyday who AREN'T lazy millionaires.

Any way ya slice it, he's wasted his "life".

[Space Edge]

There are lots of rumors floating around it was a suicide attempt and he drank bleach and stabbed himself (not confirmed)

This is what he looked like the last time he did the show 2 weeks before Stern went on Vacation. He was ordered by Sirius/XM to take some time off but Stern didn't go into any details
http://i45.tinypic.com/2z50zvd.gifhttp://i45.tinypic.com/2jga4vn.gif

[Dan 'Hampton]

Wow what a mess.

[Space Edge]

Wow what a mess.

Yes he is this is what has been going on with Artie over the past few months. He was doing good for a while back when he made his Letterman Appearance, he said he hired two off duty cops to watch over him at all times. A few weeks later he missed 2 weeks of Stern with out calling in sick. He comes back to the show and said he had a breakdown b/c it was the Anniversary of his Fathers death. He said he spent that time in a deep depression where he didn't even leave his bed. When he came back he was very talkative and acted like he was high he told the show he was going to therapy and he was on Klonopin. Then he didn't show up for a few days on the show and Howard mad a announcement saying Sirius/XM told Artie to take some time off. Two weeks later Stern goes on vacation and then last Saturday the hospital story came out.

Those screen caps above I took from a Howard TV episode where Stern was interviewing 50 Cent it was his last appearance on the show around 12/9/09. If you listen to Sten Artie has been known to tell lies so who knows if half of the shit he said is true.

[fezident]

Artie can not be trusted.
His book (assuming THAT is true) is a compilation of stories about scamming, scoring, cheating, lying, and beating the system.

He has done nothing but lie to every single person in his life including, but not limited to, his employers, his coworkers, directors, bosses, studio execs, castmates, fans, girlfriends, and his mother. Deep lies. Hurtful stuff.

He is a hopeless addict.

One of the signs of addiction is "continued use of a substance regardless of consequences". Art is in a unique position to have no consequences.
People LIKE the drug addicted Artie.
People LIKE his stories of death-defying abuse.
People LIKE forgiving him.

People on the street continue to come up to him and hug him and want their picture taken. People wait online for hours just so he can scribble is autograph on a book he wrote about doing drugs. People give him drugs. People laugh at him when he's high. For a comedian... that's a plus.

He has no children. No wife. Nobody to be disappointed in him when he slips up. Nobody to watch his spending. Nobody to worry about. His whole life is a weekend in Vegas.

Artie has lied to Howard's face a squillion times, and Howard is too big a pussy to get mad. He repeatedly says "Artie is such a sweetheart".
It's all part of the dance.
It's a scam.
Drug addicts are scammers. And Artie is one of the best addicts I know.

Howard hasn't talked about it on air at all. Artie wasnt there the week before vacation and Howard has avoided giving any details or addressing any questions callers bring up. He has merely said the family wants to keep this private. Howard has said many times the best thing about Artie is that he likes to talk about these things on his own. Howard doesnt promt him to do so.

One thing I think is strange is that JD one of the guys that works on the show was very depressed and Artie said he could talk to him about it. Then a couple days later Artie went off the deep end.

Howard said yesterday he considered bringing Jackie in for a few guest spots. the rest of the staff was very opposed to that idea. I think it would be great.

[burrben]

Charles Rocket.

stupid name

[DOHO@HOME]

I always thought he would OD or have a heart attack,not stab himself.
It must be a real douche feeling after you wake up and find out it didn't work.
now what do you do?
Shotgun sandwich is what I say,don't just stare at it eat it.

[KingGeno]

I don't think that would be the best idea. Artie is already feeling pretty low, why make it seem like you can go on without skipping a beat?

[midwestjeff]

So he'll kill himself for real and create some heat for the show.

In bigger Stern news, I saw on AOL -directly under the Artie headline- that they
dug up an old interview with Jennifer Aniston before she was famous.
Holy shit, fuck a suicidal co-host they have old audio!
This followed with a transcription of the interview.
I don't know why but it makes me want to stab myself 10 times
and be done with this retarded world.
Or, I'll just quit reading entertainment sections.

One of the search metas on that Chicago Sun Times article was "Artie Lange Dead." Scumbags.

They played the Jennifer Aniston thing as part of the History of Howard Stern that aired over their winter break, They didn't play it on a live show.

Elliott Smith?

Didn't kill himself.

Every time this thread gets bumped, I half expect some news that he's dead.

[fezident]

This whole Artie Lange thing really bothers me.
Obviously... I have a total disrespect for addicts & enablers. My experiences have shaped those opinions.

But... I also have a real problem with how Howard is handling it.
He keeps saying "I will respect the privacy of Artie." and "I am going to honor the wishes of Art's family and, at their request, I will not comment..." etc etc.

Stern has made a career out of teasing, deriding, chasting, belitting, and berating celebs on every rung of the success-ladder. It doesn't matter if an artists accidentally slips off the front of a stage OR if they killed themselves or attempted to. Howard has been (jokingly) merciless towards them. The LAST thing he's EVER considered was the well being and privacy of anybody's families.
Suddenly NOW he's acting like a man of class and taste.

I say "fuck that".


He doesn't have to actually MAKE FUN of Artie for me to be happy but, how about he treats the situation with a little realism? Perhaps he should address what a fat failure Artie is... and how The Stern Show has done nothing but enable him.
Perhaps he should mention that HE HIMSELF is sorry for helping Artie to always find a new bottom.
Perhaps he should plead to the fans to CEASE patting Artie on the back for being such an irresponsible clown.


This whole thing rubs me the wrong way.
Artie is NOT a "sweet, lovable, sweetheart of a guy". He's a junkie.
This whole ship needs to be turned around.

It's not Howard's job to coddle Artie, who is an adult.

I'm sure there is tons of stuff that has gone on behind the scenes that we'll never know about. I'm sure they've all tried to help him in one way or another.

The Stern Show has certainly done a lot to help Artie's career...and that's where their responsibility ends.

I am confused by your post.
I think we're saying the same thing though. (right?)

Howard IS coddling Artie... and I think he shouldn't be doing that.
When Artie (during a heroin haze) LITERALLY fell asleep in his chair... with the mics on... during the show, Howard laughed at made a bit out of it. They replayed it a squillion times. It's a joke. It's funny. "Oh, that crazy Artie..."

I am saying, Howard should fired that fat fuck. He'd certainly have legal grounds to do so. The guy, who was supposed to be talking and making wise cracks, fell asleep on the air.
There are many many more examples of this.

You're right. It ISN'T Howard's job to coddle Artie. And my point is, Howard is wrong for doing so. And he's wrong for suddenly acting like he loves and respects Artie. He doesn't. He feels guilty and sad for enabling Art for all these years.

I am about halfway through The Complete Artie Lange Addiction Saga, and I got to say it is really well put together. It is all the moments in the past 5 years of the Stern show that either Artie talked about his stuggles or Stern discussed his sick days/phone calls on the air

As a guy that rarely has listened to Howard Stern it is great. I am an Artie lange fan and not a howard fan so it is cool to be able to hear the whole saga without having to listen to long spans of Stern talk. I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in another look at Arties journey up to his latest suicide attempt.

Best was to get it is do a search for it in your favorite torrent site. It is a great listen

Ya the guy that edited all the clips together does an amazing job though, very little narration just enough to clue you in on the time periods. And he does an awesome job with the songs he chooses for intros to the different chapters.

So who is the bigger disaster - Artie or Fez?

Wow that is a hard question to answer.....um I'll say Artie just for the stabbing bit.

I just had to see if this thread is showing up because of spammers or because Lange finally OD'd.

I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or not.
