Art Bell Retiring.

[OutHouse]

Damn. This sucks. George Norry is ok but Art is the Master.

 

[glen]

He will be back.
He has said this before.

 

[XMan]

Back problems?

 

[OutHouse]

I dont think so, his back is killing him. he only works 3 days a week now and he has set the date for 31 Dec. He did say in his annoucement that he will fill in for George from time to time but it depends on his back.

 

[FoBoT]

maybe the mother ship needs him

i agree

Yes it is terribly sad to see such an enlightened free-thinker leave the airwaves...

NOT

Good riddance, I say. Maybe the oxygen he wasted by blabbing every week about alien conspiracies will go to something a bit more useful. Now if only Rush Limbaugh and G. Gordon Liddy would take the hint

 

[Aceshigh]

What do back problems have to do with him putting on a radio show? Talking into a microphone isn't very physically demanding.

Damn

I've never been able to listen to whole shows, the area doesn't carry it :|

Is there a way to listen online without paying? Like broadcast.com or something like that?

 

[Layzie310]

I use this station:

KFI AM 640

What the hell, man. If you don't like his show, fine. Don't find pleasure in someone not being able to pursue the career of the choice because of health problems, though.

 

[Kadarin]

So he's going to take off his tinfoil hat and retire to that great mothership up in the sky? Heh..

I used to listen to him, oh, 12 years ago or so when he was more or less a normal conservative, and an alternative to listening to Ray Taliaferro (late-night liberal who was on KGO 810 out of SF at that time). It was an entertaining show..

 

[Desslok]

Didn't he "retire" when someone was blackmailing his family? Not sure if it was blackmailing, but it was something to do with his family. He is entertaining to listen to, but you have to take his guests with a huge grain of salt. Example Ed Dames(sp), Where is that deadly soalr flare tha was going to toast all of us?

 

[helpme]

I've listened to him for years and years, however I listen much less now because it's not normally him on the air... I didn't really even listen when he was off the air back a while ago for different reasons (other 'retirement' claims).

Too bad, I'll miss his show.
