Art Bell

I love this response the most. I hope the gif comes through ok. It's perfection.

First Kieth is on twitter publicly apologizing to MV, now he quits. For the love of God and the paranormal (and JC and Linda Molten Howe) someone get a big ass bucket and bail the ship out. PLEASE!

[Rockaria]

In some alternate reality, Ramona is still with us and we are enjoying a new episode of Dark Matter/Midnight or whatever they have in their awesome timeline. Ramona was so important in the equation. Keith can't handle the business like she could.

My thoughts as well. Keith has handled a ton of stuff that used to be dealt with by Ramona and others at the various "networks."  Keith can't be expected to juggle all this stuff and remain sane. Art may not have a grip on all that he's asking from Keith. i know Art hates "corporate" anything, but he's got to move past "cottage industry" mentality and get someone to do the heavy lifting, allow Keith to do the fun stuff. Keith deserves it after all these many, many years of loyalty.

That's strange because THAT is Aussie for; Shit I might have just gotten her pregnant.

We knew you weren't here to fuck spiders.

Neither is Dave, evidently.

On C2C just now Noory said that a cop would be justified in shooting someone in the back if they believed that person was about to set fire to a building.  Even his racist cop-defending guest couldn't agree with that logic.

Did he really? That's the worse logic. Ever.

No shortage of talent on this site.
Of all the recent histrionics, this I understand least.
Merlin this guy is/was not.

This can't be reposted enough.

Keith has done a great job with DMRN.  I'm not surprised he snapped trying to manage this network and also having to deal with the business end of things. It sounds like he's been trying to do the work of several people.  I listen to DMRN and hope it continues....  Gawd, I cannot listen to C2C!!!!!

Maybe, as Rockaria says, let Keith deal with the website and other technical stuff and hire someone else to deal with the business side of things.  Or....hire Curtis and/or MV.

Exactly.  Excellent take on the situation.

Thank you nooryisawesome!

[Paradox]

Thank you nooryisawesome!

Seconded!

Keith deals with tech stuff all day so he is not expected to be warm and fuzzy.  People slamming his WP site have to realize he is doing this for FREE!!! Actually he is paying for all these insults slung at him. I wouldn't want that job. 

Whoever takes on the task is going to be looking at close to a full time job without pay. It takes a special person to do that but eventually most people crack under the weight of trying to pay their bills and devote time to volunteer endeavors.   I salute Keith for all he has done and hope this all works out so we can anticipate Art Bell's return.  What a long strange trip it's been!

Yup.

[SnapT]

That GIF might even melt Noory's ice cold heart.

Damn you!  Now I have to take care of business. 

[Khameleon808]

And I have more than enough contacts with media outlets.  Maybe not so much broadcast professionals but I do know people that know how to get the word out. I just havent pushed that button yet until it was getting close to that time. Not sure what/who keith knows about how to promote/market this show.  Certainly not in the same vein of people I know.  Not knocking the guy, but I would gladly compare how many people I can reach with minimal effort.  Plus I offer art any of my editing/ animations/ soundediting/ final conversions, whatever I can for free.  I never sleep, and it would be my pleasure to use those hours to repay him for all the hours late night working he's helped me get through.

Dont let the handful of talents of one person dissuade you from noticing the combined talents of all of us. I am a fan of the "if it aint broke, dont fix it" mantra too, but once you sacrifice stability for familiarity, I know when to start fresh.

I will not really go into what I have prepared personally for promotions on my side for your show, but I will say I am kinda bummed if this doesnt happen.   Even now I am listening to one of his old shows to get 2 videos due this weekend done.   

I hope this works out.

This is what I was thinking. Give Keith a team to wield and let Art be the artist.

I agree. Get someone competent to handle the business side of things and let Keith upload Hoagland's pictures to the site.

I loved the 90s when I could squint at the images RCH was talking about.

I'm also nostalgic for the days when it was take 1/2 an hour for the image to slowly download one line of pixels at a time.

Whoever bought Keith.

[Corona Kitty]

Maybe it's a good thing he went into radio where he can only damage people's minds.

Haha

[Dateline]

Do you think that someone made an offer on Dark Matter Network and he took it?

Yikes!  I found your youtube channel after one of the gabcasts and I remember being impressed with the talent.  I wonder if Art realizes how many extremely talented people he has attracted?  I also browsed a few of his "followers" on facebook when bellgab was down and there was no shortage of interesting / talented people there either.

I have no real creativity in the traditional sense (a friend of mine pointed me to "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" as a way to prove that I am creative- just not one for drawing / rendering.)  Need to find a way to bring a 20 ton compressor into the building? I can solve that with a degree of creativity- but sadly nothing that will be of much help to Art when (if?) he gets going.

I look forward to seeing some of your material.

I don't know, but the events of the past couple days are "interesting".
How would a creepy guy like Dave define "wonderful and BIG"?
Has he ever used the word "wonderful", ever?
