Radio
Lawton worked with popular radio host and media personality Howard Stern on the script for The Adventures of Fartman, a fictional superhero character created by Stern for The Howard Stern Show. With two major studios willing to produce, the movie was put into hold due to a MPAA Film Rating System dispute. Lawton and Stern wanted the movie to be R-rated instead of PG-13. They both thought the content of the film was more suitable for a mature audience.
Although the film was put on hold, Howard Stern included part of the script written by Lawton in his 1995 bestselling book, Miss America. The book became number one on the New York Times Best Seller list within days of its release.
He has also been a guest on The Jason Ellis Show, broadcast by famous professional skate boarder and radio host Jason Ellis on Faction 28 by Sirius Satellite Radio.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:
“A bibulation of sports writers, a yammer of radio announcers, a guilt of umpires, an indigence of writers.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“England has the most sordid literary scene I’ve ever seen. They all meet in the same pub. This guy’s writing a foreword for this person. They all have to give radio programs, they have to do all this just in order to scrape by. They’re all scratching each other’s backs.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“All radio is dead. Which means that these tape recordings I’m making are for the sake of future history. If any.”
—Barré Lyndon (1896–1972)
