I would love it if Art returned... something about his voice makes him perfect for this kind of job and subject matter. The guy just seemed like he hated doing the show. How many times did he call in sick in his first 6 weeks on the job? Some of the most creative excuses too!
"I was bitten by a SPIDER and I could have DIED!"
"I have had major back pain and it's amazing I can even be on the air tonight, after I called in sick yesterday"
"The phone lines weren't working yesterday, so we just did a replay" --- this one bothered me, because who really listens to the shows to hear the crack-pot listeners call in anyways? It's about the guest and what they have to say; he could have at least cut the show short by an hour citing "We can't take any calls, but that was our interview with such and such".
It just sounds like a bunch of lame excuses to call in sick to work; I truly feel that he didn't enjoy doing the show anymore and was avoiding it, and he found some BS excuse to quit, while finding a way to portray himself as a victim, as he does every time he "retires". If he streams his show for free from the internet, I'm sure he'll blame "the internet" when he retires next; he always has to have somebody to blame, and always plays the "poor me, I'm a victim" card.
Love Art Bell, hate his work ethic and victim-posturing.
