I wouldn't call Stern, Rush or Bubba The Love Sponge non-controversial 
talking heads...both are syndicated by major groups.  OK, Stern has become 
predictable, but he was certainly considered controversial 15 years 
ago.  Rush also has lost a lot of his steam, but he used to get people very 
riled up at his peak 10 years ago.

There weren't many controversial talk hosts in Jerry's heyday either.
