My office mate is out today so I'm still catching up on old Stern from 2002. Here's an interesting discussion from 7/1/2002:
Gary: You know who was there that was sort of interesting, but we didn't talk to him - Jim Kerr, y'know the guy who used to be the big shot at PLJ?
Howard: Where does he work now?
Gary: Sirius radio.
Robin: What's that?
Howard: Oh, satelite radio. Nobody listens to him.
...
Gary: I was asking somebody how do they- apparently they have beautiful studios, and I said to somebody that was there how do they manage to keep doing this because they're not gonna make money right away...
Howard: They're not gonna make money for years.
Gary: ... and they said that the guy that invented cell phones is the guy behind it. He's got a lot of money and he's gonna wait it out.
2 1/2 years later, he was on Sirius "ehEEee"
