Art Bell

[Noorynoid]

Anyone else anxiously awaiting tonight's show?  I'm staring at the clock waiting for midnight.

10 minutes and we have the shortwave fired up as well should there be internet connectivity issues....

Nice I got my SW radio ready also. Oddly enough synchronicity my mp3 replay show from a 'cough-cough' archive somewhere on the smartphone of the Mojave Phone booth, Urban Legends, and RCH about the Mars movie just ended. Just in time for MITD!

[AppealPlay]

I know you are waiting...anxiously.  Art will be here soon and it will be alright.

I promise......

Thank you, Shay.  I hope the shed is warm.

AS said.. I figured something big had happened. Little did we as listeners know what has been happening to Art and his family.
It really, really sucks. And Art is right. It's terrorism.

[HedgehogNorman]

Anyone got a summary of what's going on?  I forgot to tune in to the first part of the show.

[Grifynne]

Here's a summary:

Art said that on Nov. 18th someone called his house and told him they would kill him and his family if he went on air. He was mad and ignored them (but didn't make that incident public at the time).

Then the recent incident involved someone creeping around his studio (a security light popped on, which prompted him to check). He saw them through the window crouching right along the outside wall. He grabbed his gun and when he went to confront them they took off on foot into the nearby BLM land. He said one of the lights was pointed toward him which ruined his night vision so he didn't get a good look at the person before they took off.

It sounds like he really upped security based on his comments (no idea what he did, but he indicated it after sharing the details). He said his wife and daughter slept on the floor 3 days in a row because of all this. He also commented that they have an idea of a few people it could be but have no evidence (and obviously can't go publicly accusing someone without evidence).

He's lying.

Tonight's final caller was creepy.  He said he moved to Pahrump to be Art's neighbor.  Wow.

I thought that was a little weird, too - especially in light of recent events.

Aww man I'm listening but I have to go. I hope he posts a Dropbox link or something so I can catch up later. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thank you for this Grifynne.

[HorrorReporter]

For the record, I have a summary as well: http://horrorreport.com/art-bell/drama-in-the-desert-art-bell-explains-serious-incident/

The first half hour of this show was one of the most chilling I have ever heard from Art. The reality of this is insane to contemplate.

this looks like a job for Detective Knapp!... ah man wouldn't that be awesome if Art and Knapp were some sort of crime fighting team?

Thank you soooo much for this summary.  I'm not a subscriber, & I fell asleep & woke up just in time to miss the 1st segment last night.

This is the trouble w the great intimacy of talking on the radio (and/or stream): You get sympathy from the like of us, but you also get people who take things personally the bad way, & some of them are nuts enough to act on it.  I can't help but think about that talker in Denver who was assassinated.

[Audiofile]

This is serious.

Perhaps the F.B.I. needs to step in, due to the fact that Art has a radio show that transmits via cable wire which obviously crosses state lines.

Art said that they have a few suspects in mind. Lets ask ourselves, who would benefit the most if Art abruptly quit his radio show due to perceive safety concerns for his family. Perhaps the focus of the investigation should be on that individual.

Thanks.  I don't think that's tacky at all.  I suppose it could be tacky if you went out of your way to shift discussion there, and not even then if discussion bogged down here.  Linking to avoid dupl'n is what the WWW is about.

The feds do have statutory jurisdiction in such cases.  That came up when someone from a competing station tried to cut a cable during a remote Howard Stern was doing at some publicity event in Phila. IIRC.  The Communications Act just refers broadly to someone's attempting to "interfere" with a xmission.  That may have been meant only in the sense of r.f. aerial interference, but it's been taken in the spirit of anything forcible's being done to get in the way.

[norland2424]

possible..but if he did not sure he would be on ..same with if it was something with his family that was serious i am not sure he'd be on..just my speculative

See i was close enough lol.

[YNOT]

This whole situation sucks.
Hey Art, maybe its time to have a mass consciousness experiment,
To bring the perpetrator(s) to justice?
Also, if they know your private home phone, maybe that would narrow the list a little?

[Tarbaby]

If you click on 'radio stations' on artbell.com, scroll down to the right, it says that R Scott Lemriel will be on 11-25-15.

I listen to this guy last night and I thought, see? This is what happens when you open the doors of the asylums and let the inmates out.

Agree.



As a minimum, Art should have an electronic security fence surrounding his immediate compound, if he doesn't already have one up.  You don't want to be chasing intruders around your place.  That's just asking for trouble.

I agree, I have a feeling daves ratings are tanking bad, many stations are reviewing their programming for 2016 at this time of the year, stations and content providers will try to keep their ratings secret, it tough to find proper ratings for anybody on the internet, but there are ways around it, I have one, but its not scientific or proper in any ways, its just gives you an idea what people think, google "dave full name sucks", make sure you have it in quotes, then google "art bell sucks", you will find around 14700 hits for dave and around 830 hits for art, 14700 to 830 is a huge difference, and don't forget, arts been on for a long time, try different things and see what your results are.

[ziznak]

I'm pretty sure most people here already know that Noory sucks ass... I would like to see some actual numbers tho

Nothing wrong with linking your website if it's relevant to the conversation.  I don't think it's tacky at all.

No problem! I hate when I miss something and have no idea what people are talking about. I don't usually listen live but I did specifically because I was curious about Art's ominous post the day before.

I know Dave seems like a likely suspect but I don't think this is his style. I could see it as more likely a crazy Dave fan rather than the Dave himself.

Honestly my first thought was Leo. It sounds like he really flipped his shit a while back and he actually put effort into bringing Art down so to speak. Still, there is a huge difference between trying to be competition and threatening bodily harm (and attempting to act on those threats). So I'm not even sure it's fair to bridge that gap at this stage. Although Art made a comment later that made me think he was thinking of Leo - but maybe I misinterpreted it.

Did anyone else listen to the show and hear the last caller? I have to admit given the situation that was creepy. The guy said he moved to Pahrump to be Art's neighbor  but then Art moved or something like that. May have been innocent but you wonder why someone would make a stalker-y comment like that after hearing what happened to Art recently at the beginning of the show.

I mentioned these incidents to my husband and he said that people get really weird and crazy when it comes to famous people (like Art). That's true, but then you would think this would have happened more often back in his heyday rather than now. Unless he has just managed to make too many enemies as of late.

[nooryisawesome]

I don't know about all this. Everything is just speculation.  It could be something like a high school kid pulling a very unfunny prank, a serious stalker, a Noory zealot, etc. we can make speculations all day but there is really no way to tell.

I find it weird bellgab, Artbell.com, and Clyde Lewis websites have all been attacked.

[orangecat]

Getting the actual numbers is the hard part, ratings is all about advertising and the price stations can charge for it with the content they provide, if your any kind of ranking in the media, you can get the ratings, but its very few.

Showmanship. He's got Whitley running around out there in a werewolf mask.
