-Howard Stern's show is one of the pces where great interviews begin to highlight the many things stars have to offer. Time and again, Howard Stern has broken down the walls of success around people. His popurity has been growing day by day, thanks to his storytelling and magic charm, drawing many to follow his program. Starting on the radio and then moving to television, it's not unon for these individuals to gain a circle of fans, create their TV shows, and attract even more fans. The group of presenters is famous in the Uates, often discovered by those who find the best singers around. Set against a brick backdrop, in a casual setting with some neon lights.

  The show had to adhere to all of Billy's demands, down to the smallest detail, including advertising and a brief guide on pletely off-limits topics. Additionally, Billy's image and wardrobe had to look desirable and unattainable—a model, an unattainable image.

  -Screw the paparazzi, - Billy muttered as he saw the crowds. Everyone was utterly caught up in a frenzy, almost surrounding him like a cordon. Fshes went off incessantly, and as soon as he appeared, at least 500 photos were taken.

  Some paparazzi followed the car while people tried to stop the vehicle. The bulletproof windows were something that made him sigh. Part of him hated this fame, the relentless photos.

  Even after traveling to the Sony studios, some cars parked at the entrance, far away, along with a few others. Ohe moment was fotten, they started following the news on the special radio el discussing famous people around Los Angeles.

  With no nearby events, they just waited to take some photos of a few people, while others, loyal Billy followers, kept their distance, often being regurs. However, Billy had a reputation for always w in his apartment oing on tour; he didn’t visit clubs or parties.

  Billy stepped ht in front of the studios.

  -Is this where we'll meet the interviewer? - Billy asked, closely followed by or, Spencer, Jack Sauce, and Sugar Egg.

  They all walked into Howard's newly produced interview studio, set up especially for Billy's program, in a b with minimal decoration. The audience was fake, and it was an unventional interview, but even Howard was excited.

  The man had bck hair, and an oval-shaped thin face, and often wsses with e rims, giving him an updated '80s look.

  -Billy, are you excited to travel to London? - Spencer asked, notig his student's impatience.

  -I just wasn't told about this interview, - Billy shrugged. They were prepared in a room with all kinds of drinks, food, sweets, and snacks. Sugar Egg is ged on chocotes, gummies, gum, ice cream, cookies, syrups, and all sorts of food.

  Billy ended up fighting with Sugar Egg over chocote chip cookies, eventually dividing the food with clear anger, feeling robbed. or just smiled at their struggle, while Jack Sauce pyed with a Game Boy. Speried to read but ended up wrestling with Sugar Egg over his untrolble eating.

  While they took their time, the Sony producer ran up and down to start the interview, which would be recorded aed for the following day at 8 PM New York time. They were seated on a long blue sofa for at least six people. Billy took the right end, positioned by the produ to face Howard closely.

  -Billy, we took our time to make sure the studio resembled the one in Chicago, - Howard eaking a seat at a desk on to all interviewers.

  -It doesn't matter, - Billy said, knowing that if Jerry had scheduled this interview, it was for a on cause: the o gain followers to be taken seriously. He had just expected the interview to happen on , owned by Warner.

  -Is everyone fortable? - Howard asked. The band nodded, and a few responses sufficed to get a report of what was happening. A few nods were all that was needed.-

  -In 3, 2, 1. We have to start, - said the cameraman, capturing the perfect shot of the partits. The red light came on, and Howard smiled in a way that tradicted his stern demeanor as he adjusted the programming.

  -Good m, America. It's wonderful to have you with us for another show, brought to you by your host, Howard Stern, and a man who always delivers what the publieeds. We have with us the band of Billy Carson, the Grammy winners who have surpassed all on limits i three editions, - Howard Stern announced as he introduced the band. Billy was dressed in a red shirt and worn jeans.

  -Thanks for the invitation, - Billy said, looking at Howard.

  The band members were particurly quiet, each greeting the audience briefly, making it clear that Billy would be the focus. The members were virtually unknown.

  -Many people will be glued to their seats, seeing one of America's most famous visitors, but please, let's introduce the band members. -

  -Sure. We have Spehe one in the checkered vest, or, the tattooed rebel, Jack Sauce, who tries to look like me, and Sugar Egg, the chubby one, - Billy said.

  -Ha, the leather jackets you wear are thanks to me. Without me, you wouldn’t know the brand or ask for a sponsorship, - Jaented from his spot, furthest left of Billy.

  -Ohhh, we see some rivalry. -

  -Not at all, just mutual affe. Jack is great on the bass. He still o practice to surpass his idol, but he's an incredible bassist, - Billy said, smiling at the audience, or rather, the camera.

  -Great, let's start the interview without further ado. How has your life ged since you became a rock star? -

  The band members made a quick exit, leaving Howard and Billy for a one-oerview.

  -I feel like you're not giving enough credit to the people around me. I've experiehe ge as all famous people do. My private life ended; I even had to move houses to find a more stable life. I have a tract with the record pany fht albums, and I uimated the time. Eight albums, man, that's 90 songs, - Billy said, leaning to one side. Howard, with his bck-as-night hair, wore a bck hat and gsses.

  -But how did it happen? You were in a correal facility and suddenly a rock star? It's almost like it fell from the sky. Your career couldn't be more peculiar, transf from the bad boy of music t thousands of hearts. It must be memorable, - Howard ented.

  -Well, if you put it that way, I guess that's right, but you're wrong. I always knew I would succeed. Initially, I signed up for music css to avoid sports. In a small musi, something clicked and everything ged. I say I've been a musi for three years sihe beginning, - Billy said.

  -Three years? That sounds unbelievable. -

  -Well, let everyohink as they wish. Musies to me as ideas e to others. Everyone has a field to excel in; musie is like a wave of emotions that o be expressed. I make musid tell myself, 'Sing louder, Billy, let people feel what you want to feel.' At some point, everything ected, and people started seeing something more in my singing. Retly, I heard from Jerry, my agent, that my singing transported him to his childhood or sometimes to a rainy day. It's curious how we ect emotions, - Billy said.

  -Uhhhh... this is a oion, but it's something we o knoeople in the industry, in numerous interviews, have said that attending your certs brings back memories of something that made them very happy, very free, or simply transports them to a movie-like experience. I didn't believe it, but I lost my skepticism when Lloyd Banks said you reminded him of a childhood Christmas party, and even the troversial Freddy Prinze Jr. told me you took him to a special pce, - Howard said.

  -Well, I think you have to experie. It's harder through ss; you o be there. Don’t miss out. I’m doing a short tour across North America, starting on March 1. We'll visit many pces in North America, theo Engnd and hit it hard, - Billy ented.

  -Ahhh, advertising, that's good. I hope you hit it hard. I wao go, but the tickets in Los Angeles are sold out, - Howard said.

  - Call my agent, maybe he help you. He's always good at managiionships. If you go, remember my words: you'll have to buy my albums because you won't stop singing my songs. Many want to know them, - Billy said.

  - Ohhhh, a bit harsh for a young man. I hope yent is that good with the tickets. What do you think about piracy? There have been upheavals i years. You've lost a lot of ine because of those people, - Howard said.

  -I see. I don't know how much my ine drop. I think it happens more with less favored authors who are just starting and don't have a mae selling their records. I have ptinum albums in many tries. I don't keep t, but I've earhree ptinums here in the Uates for three albums, - Billy said.

  -Not many people know, but you ehe ranking with 72 millioified sales worldwide, estimated at 85 million, putting you alongside bands like Nirvana, The Police, R.E.M., Bob Marley, Lionel Richie, ah, Wind & Fire. That's monstrous, - Howard said, pausing.

  -Speaking for myself and the audience, I want you to sing a song, - Howard said.

  Billy tried to refuse, but the band members were already in position, ready to perform. Now he uood why they left halfway through the interview.

  -I guess I 't say no, - Billy whispered, but it erfectly audible to everyone.

  -What do you want, Howard? -

  -Well, I have a soft spot for 'Float On' (Modest Mouse). -

  -Good choice. You know what to do, guys. Let's hit 'Float On' hard, - Billy said.

  ??? ????

  And we'll all float on okAnd we'll all float on okAnd we'll all float on okAnd we'll all float on anyway well

  Well, a fake jamai took every st dime with that scamIt was worth it just to learn from sleight-of-handBad news es don't you worry eve nds

  ??? ????

  Whenever he sings "Float On," he reizes a sadhat invades someorying to rise from their seat, seeing self-improvement from that view. Billy imagines a man, or himself, in a literary juxtaposition, pting the future if he remained depressed, needing to move and float through life. This man rises from the couch, grabs a beer, and starts dang like a child.

  ??? ????Good news will work its way to all them ph got fired on the exactly the same dayWell we'll float on good news is on the way

  And we'll all float on okAnd we'll all float on okAnd we'll all float on okAnd we'll all float on alright

  Already we'll all float onNow don't worry we'll all float ht already we'll all float ht don't worry we'll all float on

  And we'll all float on alright

  ??? ????

  ...

  As the song evolved, it jumped to train tracks, a train, and a hidden path on the horizon. Billy's voice resonated with the music, perhaps one of the best Howard had heard—reverberant, charismatid tagious. Any fan would reize Billy's voistantly. It was the voice that echoed, drowned on a rocky beach with big waves crashing against the rocks, a ndscape of extreme beauty. The sea was a clear blue, with vibrant maris painting a beautiful se.

  Howard couldn't help but dan his seat. It was Billy's magic, the magic of transmitting. He didn't see the images, but the smell of the sea, the taste of salt hit like a trigger, putting him in a quick trance.

  ??? ????Already we'll all float ht don't worry even if things end up a bit to heavyWe'll all float on alrightAlready we'll all float ht already we'll all float on

  Ok don't worry we'll all float onEven if things get heavy we'll all float ht already we'll all float onDon't you worry we'll all float onAll float on

  ??? ????

  ..

  Billy ehe song with the hope that Howard knew his song was unlike any other.

  -I think you're the best singer of this era, I mean, of the 2000s. I hope you achieve great things, - Howard said, humming the tune of "Float On."
