Art Bell

[Redwolf]

He wouldn't last as long as he has and have one of the most listened to programs if he wasn't talented. Hes a dick, but hes a talented dick. He is radio's Ron Jeremy.

That cracked me up! Hahahah! Nice! 

[Zoxo]

Sigh, if this is because of what is coming in July I am sorry. They never fail to react in some fear based way. I am sure this will be followed by Dave coming to say it's out of his hands. By now those programs are so old that I don't see the point, frankly I don't see the point of airing one every Saturday night either. Dave should own what he does after all these Years without having to use anything I did, either music, form of announcer, old shows or anything else. I think it is one of the things that haunts him by always being in the shadow of what was. I did tell him when he started that he should make the show his own by putting his stamp on it, change everything up and own it.

In a way Art, George did make it his own... at least partially. And the part that he did DEYSTROYED IT!!!

I mean, look at what is playing tonight: Health News:First Half: Trained not only in human health, but in animal health as well, Dr. Joel Wallach has observed results in the agricultural industry that eliminated 900 diseases in animals (that still plague humans) and doubled animal lifespans. He'll discuss the human body's innate ability to heal itself through natural means. Additional site.

Yep!   This is major NEW info!     ...but I'm still not ALL-IN, time will tell.

No worries, when we stand with ART victorious in that coming arena....and you decide that you are, finally, ALL-IN...you can clean the dave off of our armor.

[paladin1991]

Well for one thing, frankly I don't need the money. After my experience with Sirius/XM I don't want anybody sticking their neck out but me.

My guess is this is going to work beyond my wildest hopes but if for any reason it does not I want it to be me that takes the hit, not you all.

On another subject I read the piece on Howard, I think he is thinking the very same thing I am, however our situations are not the same...he is on during drive time so Sirius/XM is perfect for him, my show is a night time deal and the Internet is perfect for me. Again almost everybody has a smart phone now, think of them as portable radio's.

The World is at a point of change and I am ready to ride.

Tend your horses well, Los Magnificos.  The day fast approaches when we shall sally forth and RIDE and take no prisoners.  In our own special vaguely loveable way.

[paladin1991]

I know it's extremely primitive by today's standards and technology, but I'd love for him to bring the random webcam shots of him broadcasting in his studio like the old days.  That was an element of the show and his site that was waaaayyy ahead of the time.

Oh, yeah.  Like the unexpected after dinner mint.  Just a little 'something.'

[paladin1991]

Okay, okay....you are wealthy. I think that we all can accept that.  What if there is a catastrophic event happens and depletes all of your personal funds? What will you do then? WHAT WILL YOU DO? Not only you, but what will Airyn do? -

..................

They'll live off the food storage that Steve Schenk sold him.  Yeah, ART, he dropped your name on me.  I dislike name droppers as much as I dislike dime droppers.

[nextgen.fm]

i'm surprised this didn't get a bigger rise out of everybody than it did.  if it means what it appears to mean, that's really big goddamn news, people!

I knew what he meant!

I was waiting to see if others chimed in !

Not the first analogy that would come to my head, but it works

Well, Doc, you're a naughty boy.  And I don't use those fuckin words.

[nooryisawesome]

If I was on Internet only I would expect a lesser pool of callers to start but, so what? I built it up before and I can do so again. The Internet would at this point with technology where it is, give me as big a pool of POSSIBLE listeners as 500 Radio stations.

If it is a smaller but smarter show, trust me I can live with that. I have always loved building new things and after they are built its kind of boring. I love new technology and the Internet is chock full of that.

My feeling is if we build it and it is good, they will come. If they don't its their loss.

Art

But it is going to take a long while to build this. 6 months isn't going to be long enough it make take 2 years to even start getting a decent amount of traction.

Norry sorta reminds of Lee (Robert Vaughn) in the movie. With the nightmares and lack of confidence in his skills etc. Especially as you can hear Dave these days, especially since the Art announcement, shaken and scared. I don't think, however, he will redeem himself. And, obviously, is not as accomplished as Robert Vaughn was in his chosen media and occupation.

[ks3484]

Don't listen to him, Art. He's been trying to sell all of us life insurance on here.

only if you want the Guaranteed policy.. ha ha ha

I wanted to add that there are a lot of very easy and accessible ways to raise capital. If a simple subscriber funding call was made the you'd have            500 people x $20 = $10,000

if it is doubled       1000 people x $20 = $20,000    $1000 people x $40 = $40,000


Or we could sell T-shirts for $20 or/and $40.

On Twitter there are cooldown periods for tags and phrases after they've trended. When a tag or phrase is constant it does not trend at all after a certain point. For example, if anything could trend at anytime things like meal names 'breakfast' 'dinner' and popular everyday things like coffee would literally never leave the list.

Best to get something trending here and there at certain junctures to raise awareness otherwise you run the risk of turning it into a ghost.

Yeah, great thought The Man Who Fell To Earth. Unique hashtags for sure. Apologies, my #artbell was meant to be taken as just an example...what i should have said was "would it not be great to see the show trending in some form every night." If twitter were around back when Art hosted Coast full time I think it could have.

Who said anything about six Months? I know it will take time. However I am willing to bet that in that period we will do a lot better than you think.

I am not rich as defined these days but I am comfortable enough to build the Studio myself which I will start doing as soon as we sign the deal and that could be in the next Week or so. How much we announce and when will be up to our Partner. There are some details I do not want to talk about anyway because of the ears we all know are listening.

I will have a couple of computers in my face at all times so I guess I could snap a few shots if anybody really wants to see my ugly mug.

The webcam was classic!

EXACTLY!
p.s.
art,
it is true, you never write me back.

[jazmunda]

If you could pixelate your ugly mug then that would be greatly appreciated.

I used to love the webcam shots we used to get. It made me feel apart of the program.

I believe you used to have 3 different angles. Surely in this day and age you can have cameras everywhere. Perhaps this "service" can be for the paid subscribers.

That would make many fans happy. Just adds a nice personal note.
I don't think the NSA will share their captures from your webcam. Every computer that has SKYPE installed has a backdoor for them.

Perhaps a "Cat Cam"? No? Okay...

Thank you!!  The occasional cat wouldn't hurt either

No I am not going for full time Cam coverage, besides watching a talk Show Host talk is right up there with watching grass grow.

Will you wear a funny hat on occasion? Perhaps TinFoil, on occasion?

Say, Art. What are you listening to now a days? Music, radio, podcasts? Are you following any TV shows? What sort of media has got you entertained right now?
