Sex and Shock Jocks: An Analysis of the Howard Stern and Bob & Tom Shows Lawrence Soley Diederich College of Communication, Marquette University Milwaukee, WI Abstract: Studies of mass media show that sexual content has increased during the past three decades and is now commonplace. Research studies have examined the sexual content of many media, but not talk radio. A subcategory of talk radio, called “shock jock” radio, has been repeatedly accused of being indecent and sexually explicit. This study fills in this gap in the literature by presenting a short history and an exploratory content analysis of shock jock radio. The content analysis compares the sexual discussions of two radio talk shows: Infinity’s Howard Stern Show and Clear Channel’s Bob & Tom Show. Introduction The quantity and explicitness of sexual content in mass media has steadily increased during the past three decades. Greenberg and Busselle (1996) found that sexual activities depicted in soap operas increased between 1985 and 1994, rising from 3.67 actions per hour in 1985 to 6.64 per hour in 1994.

  • Guitar World #11, Novembre 97
    GUITAR WORLD #11, NOVEMBRE 97 SHOCK EXCHANGE par Alan Di Perna Jane's Addiction is back - if only temporarily - and they got Flea with 'em. Guitarist Dave Navarro and the righteous bass man rap about the good old days and their bad old ways. Dave Navarro and Flea are sitting together on the famous "sideways" rocking chair from the cover of Jane's Addiction's 1988 album, Nothing's Shocking. They're huddled together like two schoolboys on a bus, giggling, exchanging whispered jokes, setting up a force field of friendship to insulate them from the prying eye of the photographer's lens, the glaring floodlights and the coldly appraising gazes of assorted makeup artists, dressers, handlers and assistants. Navarro hates photo shoots. But Flea seems to welcome an opportunity to dress up like his newest heroes, Sixties black power militants the Black Panthers. He's even brought along a Panther uniform (black leather jacket, black turtleneck, black beret, wraparound shades) for Dave. When the world first saw the "sideways" rocking chair, it was, of course, holding a sculpture of Siamese twins, naked, female, created by Jane's Addiction leader Perry Farrell who set the figures' heads alight for the controversial Nothing's Shocking cover photo. Prepare to be shocked once more, because Farrell has now reconvened Jane's Addiction. The return of the band that instigated the alternative rock Nineties will be marked by a CD containing one brand new song and a slew of previously unreleased material, demos and live recordings from the first incarnation of Jane's Addiction.

  • Guitarist #95, Octobre 95 Dave
    GUITARIST #95, OCTOBRE 95 DAVE NAVARRO & FLEA: ROCK ADDICTION par Alan Di Perna Après le split de Jane‘s Addiction en 1991, le chanteur Perry Farrell fonda Porno For Pyros et Dave Navarro partit rejoindre les Red Hot Chili Peppers où il devint le partenaire du bassiste Flea pour l‘album —One Hot Minute“, puis pour des séances studio allant d‘Alanis Morissette à Porno For Pyros. Ces dernières années, les liens entre les Red Hot et Jane‘s Addiction/Porno For Pyros sont devenus évidents. Ils forment désormais un clan d‘esprits libres, une tribu musicale tatouée et piercée de Los Angeles qui ne fait pas de concessions, mais sait partager. C‘est pourquoi Dave Navarro et Flea nous attendent dans la maison de Perry Farrell, parti faire du surf en Indonésie. Qui a initié cette reformation de Jane‘s Addiction? Qui a appelé en premier? Dave: Je ne me rappelle pas d‘un coup de téléphone disant —Allez, on se réunit“. C‘est une idée qui a évolué au fil du temps. Perry Farrell et moi étions restés en contact pendant que j‘étais avec les Red Hot Chili Peppers. Nous en avions parlé plus ou moins il y a un an, mais rien de concret n‘avait suivi. Rien n‘est réel tant que ça ne s‘est pas produit, je préfère ne pas être déçu. Perry a laissé un message sur mon répondeur, il voulait me parler d‘un projet mais je n‘ai pas eu le temps de le rappeler. Trois semaines plus tard je rencontre un ami qui me dit, —Ah oui, Perry veut réunir Jane‘s Addiction“.
