I always hoped he would un-retire again and come back to radio in some form. He made late night drives interesting for sure.

My favorite shows were always the New Years Eve shows and predictions.

I used to listen to his (and his callers) weird shite when I worked nights. Entertaining, to say the least.

I kinda list track of the whole Art Bell thing. I thought he had retired and Noorway was it.

Considering his celebrity status and success, most people are surprised to learn Art Bell lived in a doublewide manufactured home a few hundred yards down the road from the famous "Bunny Ranch" brothel



This was the radio station studio he owned, and broadcast "Coast to Coast" from.

It is a sad statement on my life that as soon as I saw he had died I came here to see if Pioneer had started a thread about it.

I laughed.

Art had so many memorable guests and callers. The area 51 were my favorite.

They should have just ran old shows of his this weekend, as well as the somewhere in time shows.

Somewhere in time is on now. They air every Saturday night.

I expect coast will dedicate a few shows to him this coming week however it took almost 16 hours before coast acknowledged his death on social media.
