Art Bell has passed away

[Chrispy 132]

I wasn’t sure what thread put this in, but this guy was a favorite of mine. He sparked my interest in talk radio at a young age. Sad day.

Black helicopters finally got him

Read Art Briles. I haz disapoint

Art Bell got me through many long nights on a nightshift job I used to have.  Loved Coast to Coast.   He had such a great voice for that show too.  I thought he was way older than 72 though.  I would've guessed mid 80's.

Art was great theater to listen to on the way back home from late night road trips. One of the true legends of radio.

Me as well, driving home in the middle of the night that lunatic kept me entertained and awake.

[RD3 64]

I have listened to his show many many times.

Now he finally knows...

[Mileslong 4728]

Like many others here, I used to travel five days a week and would listen to his radio show late at night in my rental car driving through the deserts of the western US.

Kept me company and awake, R.I.P.

The thing I loved about Art was that he was kind to every caller and guest. No matter how crazy they were even if he didn't believe them he would never say so.

Being married to a young Filipino can do that to you.

Doesn't need to be buried. Just throw some more sand on top of his bunker in the desert.

[Nolacycling 893]

He died of supernatural causes.

I'd go with alien anal probes unless BearSchlong says otherwise.

When ever I heard this music on the radio, I knew I was going to learn something new....

Hitler was a miget, a radioactive midget only .7m tall. He ate only anklin spores. He drank only prune juice.

[MrPhlegm 3413]

You know of course that Art had a brother, Ted, who owned a steakhouse. 

 

Andy K and Art ah yes now we know.

Wanna take a ride?

I remember him going on the Stevens and Pruett show back in the day. Always had some freaky stories.

Oh so he went to Pikefest?

Was this in the last 6 months or so? 'Cause I think I heard that show. Was he the guy who told the story about GHWB?

Roger that. The guy I'm thinking of was from your neck of the woods, I remember that much. It's been in the last few months and I'm not sure what the actual topic was, they were just kinda shooting the shit when the story about Bush came up. Now that I think about it he may have been Secret Service. Maybe CIA. Definitely not your FIL. Definitely NOT. You hear that Mr. Schlonginlaw? I know NOTHING!

[BrickHorn 18285]

Just so long as the rest of the Drells are still alive.

[DigglerontheHoof 21242]

Yep, CtC was a must for late night road trips.  It seems I was always somewhere in west Texas or New Mexico.

[Knoxtnhorn 6066]

I'd never heard of this guy or his show.  Friend of mine and I are driving back from Dallas to Knoxville in the middle of the night circa 1997.  I come across this show.  People are calling in live with updates about an alien invasion.  One guy's calling in from Mockingbird and Skillman (Dallas intersection) and describing this ship hovering over the city.  I freak the F out and punch my friend awake.  I guess I fell for a modern-day "War of the Worlds" but hell, that drive sure did fly by.

[BNB 100]

I either listen to Coast to Coast to fall asleep or a podcast.

RIP

[honolulu horn 6165]

A true innovator, with CtC being one of the last remaining unique things out on public media. Amazing legacy. RIP wherever you are...

So it goes...

 

2018 is on a tear so far.

[El Diablo 4232]

I don't know about the whole week but last night was tribute to Art Bell night with George Noory. At the very end of his show he played a recording of the show that Art did about when his first wife Ramona died. They also had an interview with a friend of Arts, I think the guys name was Danyon(?) at least that's how they pronounced it. He mentioned that Art died with a one year old son from his second wife Airyn. All in all it was a different sort of show for CtC but still good.

[Watashi 7]

Always got a charge how Art's show started with some barritone voice who declared "Live from the kingdom of Nye...."
