Dave Grohl, Sarah Silverman, Louis C.K. Helped Wish Howard Stern A Happy 60th Birthday

Howard Stern threw himself a belated 60th birthday party last night at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom, and he invited the oddest assortment of guests. The famous faces you’d expect to be there were there, people like Louis C.K., David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, Robert Downey Jr., Bon Jovi, etc., but how to explain Train as the house band? Or Neil Young? Jewel? Adam Levine covering/ruining “Purple Rain”?
