[11/28/02, interview in Chicago Tribune] I'm watching television and I'm not seeing anything. I watch all the
cable shows where you should see some looseness and you're not hearing
anything . . . There's a general dumbing down of everybody in this
country . . . It just kept going and going until it's gotten to the point
where it's all mean-spirited and vulgar. It not only affects comedy, it
affects film. It affects literature. It's pervasive on radio. There's
that guy
Howard Stern and all that smart ass, vulgar, sexual pretending
like they're expanding freedom of speech. They ought to put an
amendment to the First Amendment that says there shall also be freedom
of hearing.
