Art Bell

[ItsOver]

Alternative to Dave.... Everything Else! Music, George Knapp, Meditation, Silence, a Hobby, Sex, Masturbation...etc

With Dave, I'd include beating myself senseless with a ball peen hammer, pulling my finger nails out, and reading the Falkie thread.

Hey! Nice one!!

[TheGrimCreeper1]

Art is a smart guy and if he wants to find a way back, he will.

You did many AMAZING shows Art. I'm frustrated like you are, and I look forward to hearing you again, in some way, some form someday. You'll be back.

And leave AGAIN before long. How long are you folks gonna let him jerk you around like this? It may be legit this time, but it's part of an ongoing pattern. 

[Richard Groyper]

Or the guy who's terminal cancer was cured when Noory laid his Worker in the Light hands upon his throat.

Heh. Isn't that book still for sale?  $1.77 I believe...

Hahaha if he stays or quits our lives dont change, laughing when you people get so butt hurt about Art being a " jerk".

[Chronaut]

supporting the network is fine and dandy but RCH deserves nothing ..the man has a 5 day a week 2 hour show and some how manages to really only do 3 and a half dhows a week...and most of them now are about the crazy shit he sees on pluto and mars

AND

likes to insult his listeners

Yeah there's no getting around it - he's a self-important jerk.  But it seems there's no Donate option for the Dark Matter Radio Network, and Keith needs all the support he can get right now.  So I'm willing to eat a lemon for the greater good.

[Robert]

He has a condo in the Philippines with a studio. His wife is a teacher who is capable of home schooling Asia.

I am repeating what PBS posted somewhere yesterday.

He has options most of us don't...he chose not to use them.

Yes, it seems he chooses to stay there while his family is threatened?....

I would soooo like to hear this coming week, "From Manila in the Philippines...", and that this was all a ruse to cover their retreat.  But I doubt it.

I know im slow and all but i dont get this.

Some crazy asshole is either shotting at arts property or setting off firecrackers scaring him and his family. So art quits working because of this situation.

No one knows why this person is doing this.
No one has cought this guy

But the best thing to do is stop doing a radio show. That solves the problem hopefully???

Why would anyone assume that doing a talk show has this person shotting or setting off fire crackers

Hire a damn sniper for a week and shot the asshole.

Kind of a "lemon party" if you will. hey i have a sub too! lol

Maybe Hoagie can set up a special club for us, Club C6H8O7 -- citric acid.

Soooo right. Makes no fucking sense whatsoever.
That's why I think it's more likely that something embarrassing happened that he couldn't talk about and hadda concoct a self perpetuating fan-fiction myth.
Personally, I think his gigantic balls hurt from sitting on em night after night. Now how's he gonna make anyone understand THAT???

I swear there used to be a donation option. People could e-mail darkmatter@rowlandnet.com and say they would like to make a donation? Maybe he will accept them through paypal.

I hope so. Shit, I'll send Keith some bux too. Feel bad for the guy.

[Robert]

If this continues I may have to move,

So then you're not sure your assailant just wants you off the air?  That casts things in a different light, thanks.

[coaster]

Art mentioned giving the police a couple names, so obviously he does think there are at least two people capable of shooting at his property. People don't know shit about his personal life. They think they know him based off a three hour radio show. Who knows why someone would do this? Maybe Art does.
I love watching certain trolls speculate or say he faked the whole thing when they know absolutely nothing about what is going on. Armchair detectives..gotta love em.

According to the police records, there is no "assailant". There are alleged noises. Right?

SMOKE

Well, YOU know absolutely nothing about what's going on. None of us do. Does that make you a troll? I don't think so. We all have our own ways of dealing with this, Coaster.

[Chronaut]

A “lemon party” â€" nice.  The things we do for the ones we love, right?

Maybe Hoagie can set up a special club for us, Club C6H8O7 -- citric acid.

Awesome:  “And for those who will probably never listen to the show, and feel a pang of humiliation for signing up, we now offer Club C6H8O7.  Thanks for the money, jerks!”

[coaster]

Well, YOU know absolutely nothing about what's going on. None of us do.

Exactly. So stop speculating.  Its silly. and I wasn't talking about you.

[Ciardelo]

I like how the trolls get upset when anyone says the word trolls. Don't even have to say a name. Just these trolls are funny.

These trolls are funny.

[coaster]

I keep forgetting a lot of Art's listeners are crazy conspiracy nuts. This shouldn't be anything new..or surprising.

The wannabe-Sherlock-Holmes types who keep insinuating that Art is lying about this, make my frickin' blood curdle with rage.

But we do know one pertinent fact:  he was called on the phone and threatened to not go on the air.  So that certainly seems to indicate a professional, rather than a personal motive.  And of course there's the timing coinciding with his return to broadcasting.

But yes, we have no way of knowing for certain who's behind this.  O how I wish I could find out.  A liver dinner with fava beans and a nice Chianti...

Bro.

Just because my bunker is lead-lined and my tinfoil hat may not fit me properly doesn't mean that I'm a nut. I plan on making sweeping generalizations about someone who I only know through a radio show and no other medium. I plan on discussing, at length, my own feelings about who took those shots, and who should be blamed. I will discuss the idea of a militia. I will lay down a 13-point plan about forcing a 70 year-old man who has given decades of broadcast service back into the radio game. I plan on outlining a 6-point plan about how we also need to take care of the impending new world order and reptile people.

WE ARE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS HERE, PEOPLE.

Isn't that most of the idea of MITD?  The show exists to provide fodder for such specul'n.  Why would we suddenly turn it off just because our fearless leader is the subject?  Imagine Art interviewing himself on the subject.

[Gumby, Dammit]

Exactly. So stop speculating.  Its silly. and I wasn't talking about you.

I know scro...we cool. You always be crackin me up and that aint easy. My speculation is that speculation is all speculation. I.E., it's all good.
To me, Art's a sub-genius Mentat with a chronic Spice addiction.  From that perspective, he's twerked us all into this Self-Convoluting Speculation-Reality from which there are various paths out but none back in.
Which is why I dig Art Bell, man....

Trolls with 4x troll fixations are the best.

BEST scene in the whole film. Good one!
