Title: ART BELL = DEAD
Post by: Richie on April 15, 2018, 08:06:33 PM
They finally got him. Weird dude for sure, but Coast to Coast AM was a lifesaver during my years of working third shift.

I don't usually trample the graves of the dead, but Art hung up on me back in 1998. F him.

Seriously though F him- he enabled the conspiracy theorist wackadoodles that proliferate today. He had on Gary North- the Y2K guy- like once a week... then when Y2K turned out to be nothing he didn't say a word. John Titor? C'mon, bro.

He claimed some dude from the future named Seven threatened him and his wife- then his wife dies, and then weeks later he procures a young mail-order bride.

The Kingdom of Nye is a better place without him.

... or maybe Seven finally got him too, in which case I retract everything I said above except the part about his second wife...

Dude was a weirdo and probably a piece of shit but like Rich, I worked third shift for a few years. Don?t know I would have made it as long as I did without Coast to Coast and Bell was my favorite host.

Conspiracy nuts ALWAYS act like nothing happened after months of hyping the shit out of something. One of friends is always on about these "end of the world" dates...changes every month. Dude will ramble on about it until the day before, then when nothing happens, never talk about it at all. Like...at least admit you are a screwball.

I always thought this show sucked.

Art Bell listeners fell into two categories: those who listened cuz of work, and those who voluntarily altered their circadian cycle so they could stay up and listen. The former were broke asses, the latter retired honkies who bought C. Crane radios by the dozen.

Art welcomed a lot of utter scumbags into the Kingdom of Nye: Jerome Corsi, Bob Larson, various racists and a few heroes- the dude from Mel's Hole, for one.

One of the best callers was the demonic Harlot... she was a real monster. She gave even Art the willies... and remember, Art married a mail order bride weeks after the mysterious death of his wife... which he predicted... so Harlot must have been completely sick.

Best caller though was the guy whose girlfriend FAXED in to tell Art to pick up the West of the Rockies line- her boyfriend was flying his Piper Cub into Area 51... and by gum he did... or did he?

Look, it is clear that we are currently experiencing The Quickening, that said, F Fart Smell.

My roomate and I were listening to an episode of coast to coast on youtube and I googled him to see if he was still kicking and that's how i realized he died. RIP.

Where does Boyd Rice fit into these categories? Heard him on there one evening and had the displeasure to learn he claims to be a member of my own bloodline - though I heard nothing to verifty or confirm the assertion on his part. He also brought on Michio Kaku and the McKenna brothers. He was no Phil Hendry.

Boyd Rice is a turd. Drop him down Mel's Hole. Sure, Michio Kaku was cool, but Fart gave carte blanche to some (many) sick Fs.

Boyd's PO Box is at the post office I use the most. I hope to one day poke him in the eye.

Unscreened calls on a super popular nationally broadcasted was ballzy as F. Fart Smell was indeed a great artist and performer, but fugk him- he allowed too many hatemongers and scam artistes free reign.
