I heard this morning on Coast to Coast that Art Bell has died at 72.
They played a clip from one of his shows where a fellow claiming to be in a small plane was trying to over fly Area 51.
An era has passed.

So long, Art. Thanks for all the wild stories. They are important and useful in ways the pseudoskeptics dare not dream of.

 R.I.P. ArtRadio Host Art Bell Dies at 72Updated April 14, 2018 - 1:57 am
Longtime radio host Art Bell died Friday at his Pahrump home, the Nye County Sheriff’s Office announced. He was 72.
Bell’s paranormal-themed show, “Coast to Coast AM,” was syndicated on about 500 North American stations in the 1990s before he left the nightly show in 2002. He broadcast the show from Pahrump’s KNYE 95.1 FM, a station he founded.
Bell retired several times in his career, which included a short-lived show on SiriusXM satellite radio in 2013.
Returning to terrestrial radio afterward was not a difficult decision, he told the Pahrump Valley Times in August 2013.
“That’s easy, because I love it,” he said at the time. “It’s my life, and that’s all I have ever done. I went through a lot of family problems, so that interrupted things, and I was overseas for four years, and that certainly interrupted things. I went back into radio because I love it.”

LOL! I remember back in the day just about when y2k hit..and you can't talk about Artbell w/o talking about CC radios. And that's when I got my first CCrane radio hand crank radio. Thanx to him.. I was the envy of my neighbors as they waited with me,huddled around the radio for y2k. Another had his generator on standby. Another neighbor had stocked up on a year of survival food..It was a sure thing it would hit..I didnt even pay the prior mo's 'lectric bill just knowing it was all going to fall apart. Art's word was as good as gold..yep..sure as Haley Bopp and serious as a heart attack....Eventually over the years the radio quit workin' but you could still turn the crank without too much effort. Now..  Thats what you call reliabilty! We did split the food up..not the most tasty and very pasty..but the idea was to survive, and nothing wrong with that! Better than eatin grasshoppers and huntin lizards to eat.  |
