I mean he is a pretty cool guy. We chatted about his love of Asian culture and firearms. Although it's not his passion he does like to shoot and we talked a bit about our AK 47's it was grand. I don't want to impose myself on him as he is a private citizen and I can only imagine how many fan boys like myself call him up on the radio.

Still, that's really cool that you were in touch with him at all. He seems to welcome interaction on the radio, perhaps more so than on forums. So I suspect having fanboys call him up is pretty routine for him, especially if he gave you some spare time to chat.

And, I think it's great that he posted here at least once. Just enough to let us know that he is still out there and has an eye turned our way.

Yeah I'm going to try and see If I can talk to him on the 10 meter band with my mobile radio whenever that opens up. Anyway I'll keep you guys informed as to what I hear.

Hey Art just in case you stop by...I am not to proud to BEG you to come back, my gawd you are so missed...once I asked my grandson "why do you watch so much Sponge Bob?" and he said something that made the lights come on he said "because those are like my friends Nana" he was about 5 at the time, that's how I feel about you Art.. For years you were my "friend"

Kept me awake during my shift at work, and then my addiction on the weekends. I started listening to Dreamland...and have been hooked ever since. Cit

Anagrammy?

it's good he took note of our size. i want him to know there is a vibrant, active community of fans out there.

That almost reads like an ad for penis pills.

DollyFinn · « **Reply #3730 on:** February 17, 2012, 11:44:32 AM »

I have been thinking about why Art completely retired. And, I have been wondering if it is due to having a small child and not just because he wants to be a full time parent. I am wondering if he learned way too much, when doing C2C, about the true nature of the world or an coming apocalypse. Now, having to raise a small child, dwelling on these issue would only serve to totally depress and upset him. Otherwise he is rather young to have retired so soon. Most men in his position (young wife, young child, only now being 67) keep working for a while. At the very least keep working part time. Just a thought.....

I realize somethings as Admin. are personal and confidential, but as any lurker does, you do gravitate to some threads. For example. .George Noory compendium. . ..

It was not really a question, MV, just a subtle reference that I wonder if Art has found the Noory thread.
There are some very funny posts written on some of the hosts, and laughs can be shared. I may still be too cryptic.

Okay, I would imagine that Mr. Bell throughly enjoys the threads that we have discussing the plight of Coast and othe talk radio subjects. However, there is also the massive Noory thread. He might enjoy that one too, and enjoy the good humor. (I am attempting to post politically correct here.)

ah, ok. i don't know if there's a way to look at what a user viewed while on the forum. there might be, but i've never investigated it. all i know is when someone is on, basically... although you can see what someone is looking at WHILE they're on the forum. i just don't think there's any sort of history you can look at. i think it would be kinda creepy of me to look that deeply at individual users, anyway, so i pretty much just stay out of peoples' business in that way. actually, i think all of the information i have about who is online and what they're looking at is available to regular account holders, too.

Thanks for answering. I was not really sure how to phrase the questions since it was not really the topic of the thread.

Now, back to Mr. Bell and Coast. I would love to hear one interview that I don't remember happening, and that would be a round table of all of the most recent Coast hosts for about an hour, Mr. Bell included. It could be led by maybe Whitley, but it could discuss show strategy, favorite topics, favorite callers and so forth.

I fell in love with Art Bell's show when I was living in AZ. The night desert air was highly conductive for strange ideas. I then moved to Thailand for a few years and streamed the show online - it was during that time Art lost his first wife. No disrespect to GN but he simply could not fill the absence that Art left. Off and on for years I've tried getting into the new Coast but it's lamely lackluster and unfulfilling to me personally. I tend to listen to classic Art shows over on ******* & other places I can on the web. Regardless, it's great to find this forum - people of like mind unite!

Do you mean Ramona Bell? That was Art's third wife.
Airyn (his current wife) is his fourth.
Check out Art's autobiography "The Art of Talk"

Let’s play hardball!

How many divorces has Mr. Art Bell had?

Three?

Wrong!

When he divorced his previous wives he “divorced” his kids too. He has no known relationship with his kids from prior (emphasis) marriages.

So let’s go with EIGHT divorces counting previous wives and kids. Pick your own number because I’m not going to look it up.

Eight it IS.

Wrong again!

When Mr. Art Bell quit broadcasting he, too, “divorced” his previous wives, kids and his LOYAL AUDIENCE.

So, I suggest Mr. Bell divorced 50,000,008 people. I’ll be generous and declare Bell had fifty-million listeners.

Eight of the 50,000,008 have moved on to a new life.

50,000,000 are waiting… and waiting… and waiting… for him to return.

Why?

We, aka “us”, for some reason cannot move on to a new life and are waiting for a guy 10 years out-of-the-loop to return to the airways and continue as he has in the past.

Have you ever listened to “Art Bell: Somewhere In Time”? Of course you and I have. Except all of the predictions made decades ago were WRONG.

And to add insult to injury Mr. Bell gave us Noory as a replacement.

So WE have all been "divorced", too and Art Bell gave us Noory for alimony.

Bell has a history of bad decisions. Name one good one.

Ok so the latest decision is he returned to Pahrump. Yay. But he returned with a very young wife who might wake-up and decide she misses Manila more than she like Pahrump and the cycle continues AGAIN. Except she will own one-half everything. Read: $$.

Art is leading his 50,000,000 loyal and fawning fans along again (AGAIN). He has done this many times before.

Don't forget that Bell is the one that sold Coast To Coast and put his loyal fans on indefinite hold.

Hold your breath because we (all 50,000,000 of us) all just know that Bell will be on the air again soon!

I suggest that Mr. AB will return to the airways when he delivers Art Bell's Pizza Punch a product he hyped, promoted, took paid orders for and failed to deliver.

Playing hardball is his game.

Why would you take it so personally? It's just a radio show. He was the host, then he retired. Art owes you and I nothing, and his personal life is none of our business.

Holy shit, Lester. You sound like JC Webster.

And are you really trying to tell me the the Santa Barbara Olive Oil Company failed to deliver the products you ordered? Did you contact them directly? I can put you in touch, but you've likely waited far too long for them to supply you with actual replacement Art Bell Pizza Punch. You will definitely have to settle for an alternative preparation of seasoned olive oil from the same vendor.

Also, by the way, FUCK YOU YOU STUPID IDIOT.

Oops... Sorry about that previous post, I just read back a few pages and shit myself!
Art, Enjoy your retirement and that beautiful family of yours. My daughter is 13 and my son is 11 now.
It feels like it was just yesterday, I was holding my daughter in the middle of the night when she was just born, to give my wife a break. I never complained... it was always an excuse to listen to Coast to Coast am. Enjoy every moment with Asia, they grow up way to fast!
And by the way, Thanks...
