Howie Car, a Boston Herald Colonist and Radio Hitman.

Howie is sort of an insidious force in this area.

By the way, do we have Howie Carr? He's around here someplace.

Where's Howie? Where is Howie? You know Howie Car?

Howie, where the hell are you? The legendary Howie. He's got that radio going.

We love Howie Car, right?

I was referred to today as 1970s Boston. Hey, paper boy. It comes from the tabloid talk show stuff in Boston, and it was concocted there.
