Art Bell

[WhiteCrow]

For those of you who might want to know more about that broadcast, I have here for you a treat: it's the entire issue we ran with Jennings on the cover and a bunch of great UFO legends rebutting and generally raving in anger about the show and its failings, even as we celebrated the attention. I loved doing the cover and the internal layout, which highlighted his beautiful face.

Hope you enjoy: http://www.futuretheater.com/assets/pdf/jennings-rebuttal.pdf

Thank you Nancy! for the fun late night reading.

Thank you Nancy! for the fun late night reading.

You're welcome! It's quite a walk down a sort of overgrown brambly memory lane. We are the future we only dreamed of then.

[Northern Nights]

Thanks for posting that Nancy, what a treat.  I had a subscription to UFO Magazine at one time but have never seen this issue.  I saw the ABC special when it first aired and knew it was a poor job of presenting the evidence at best, ranging to outright disinformation at worst.  Can't wait to read this.

Will read. Thank you. If you have the time, ask Bill what brand of sunglasses he wears. I dig em and would love to find a pair.

That's all HAM gear I believe. The other gear is off screen there. The video posted earlier did show footage from the home studio, you get to see the board, computer and whatnot. And the coffee thermos with straw.

Is it one one of these that you remember? It's a collage of sorts.

Uh, oh. I have to ask if Noory was actually involved in this project... or did he have ghostwriters do it for him like he usually does?   

[ks3484]

It's a collage of sorts. Almost 60 years of Art Bell broadcasting on radios.  I definitely think it's time for a new internet broadcast category for the Marconi award. I wonder how would a person get nominated for one?

In the year 4385, Hale Bopp will return.

At that time the congregation of the Church of Art Bell will rejoice, for their father has returned to take them home.  The church is lead by the venerable JC Webster the 453rd but they have some strange ideas regarding the comet and jump suits.  Side note:  retro Nike Air shoes are in demand.  JC Webster the 453rd will be on the first wave of the away team, while JC Webster the 454th will stay behind to spread the word of the vaguely lovable Art Bell.

At this time, Bellgab.com has been preserved for all time as an important artifact, holy relic and religious text.  Every message from the disciples MV, Redacted and Jazmunda have been meticulously restored and preserved for eternity.  May Art Bell have mercy on our souls.

Love that cover! Thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately I am growing more and more pessimistic on Art's potential return. In other words....

It's impossible to know with out the details. So far from the information from Art is both sides pretty much agree. But when the attorneys get involved it becomes a complicated mess with them mucking up simple easily resovable issues. Which I think is to be expected. Art needs to get/stay patient. Negotiations for this type of show have never been done before and I think Ary was misguided if he thought this was going to be a simple process. Art is in it in attorney fees this far, he might as well let it play out. It could go one for a few more weeks and Art has taken a step back and is letting other people handle the load.
I think a deal will get done.

[nooryisawesome]

Ok I don't mean to pander. But please come back Art we miss you. I listen to two or three old shows a night while at work. I really want to hear some new things. Dave sucks and is no replacement. Knapp is good but he is no Art. Please come back somehow,  someway to the airwaves. I don't care if it's art bell cat hour, where art and his baby girl talk about cats for an hour.  Your  cats purring could be the bumper music for all I care. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE ART BELL.

Yeah, and it's pointless to try and project the course things will take.

One thing, when negotiating with businessmen and lawyers, they try to find out your weaknesses and the things you want most, and then dangle those things in front of you to weaken you.  If they see you squirm, they will keep up the pressure, they are all manipulators that way.

[DesertFox]

We just need to chill and let Art and his peeps do their thing...they can handle it.  I agree with MV--its looking good.  We just need patience.

[Étouffée]

A friend of mine, who is also a Ham and Art Bell fan, commented:
To a person with a business sense there are no breaking points, just new days to negotiate.

The 3 rules of life:
1) It is never over.
2) All is forgiven on Friday.
3) Be creative

(Not sure what 2) means...but tomorrow is Friday)

Jazmunda has been raptured.  His last message:  "Pretribulationism is true"

I resemble that remark, nyuk, nyuk.

HOLY CRAP!  I've been Left Behind!

.....his lets look kinda weird

[nbirnes]

Absolutely no Noory, except the lovely photo and an email sign-off each month. Ghosts rule the waves. Ghosts wash up, and only ghosts remain to tell the tale.

[lonevoice]

HOLY CRAP!  I've been Left Behind!

And you're typing like Fort Rock!  What can it mean?  Oh the hugh manatee!

.....his lets look kinda weird

Almost looks like somebody pulled his lets.  Mebbe we should get Dr. Jonathon Reed to perform a forensics investigation.

you're not yet on the other side.  we had to halt the process of moving everything to the new server.  we will attempt to resume the process after the gabcast tonight.

Yeah them businessmen, lawyers, bond/stock traders, investment/insurance advisers, bankers, politicians etc. are just better dressed car salesmen. sumofbitches should all be taken out and horse whipped.

Better luck this evening then.  Hopefully its not an all niter for you guys.

[WOTR]

I suggest that you try to break the new server in slowly.  Attempting to force this amount of suck onto something clean and fresh is unnatural and it is to be expected that it work to reject it.  Start withe the Bell thread first, move to the guest hosts, then the Noory sucks followed by the politics thread.  Do it slowly and much like a frog, in a pot, over a fire, the new server will allow itself to be destroyed by raising the heat slowly and in increments.
