George Noory made a brief mention that Art Bell has been in and out of the hospital here lately. He is back in now for problems with COPD (shortness of breath) Colitis and possible pneumonia. I can't get Art on my terrestrial radio, and am not yet in the habit of using my computer to get radio. So, I hadn't given Art any thought in quite a few months.
I was saddened to hear that he's been feeling poorly for the last few months. Art is not quite sure when he'll be back on the air. He does have a tablet or laptop with him in the hospital, right now. This allows him to communicate through his blogs. Art says he now regrets the many years of heavy smoking. I presume that is what caused his COPD to develop. If you have good memories of listening to Art or George through the years, you may consider saying a little prayer for him now.
Art is one of those intense personalities who seems to thrive off of high drama. His real life has been quite interesting. He is estranged from most of his former family, but very close to his present one. It matters not to me. I just appreciate his years of strange tales like the Chupacabra and bizzare people such as John Titor, who may or may not have existed in a dual reality.
I listen to art every night on my iPad.....replays from previous shows but they are particularly interesting when the “predictions”are so wildly wrong
Art Bell is one of the world’s best interviewers
Loved listening to him when he was talking with someone about things that interested him
George maybe
Art had a way of leaving you wondering whether or not he agreed with the folks he interviewed.
On one of his last appearances he was all in for Trump...and as usual gave solid reasons
Bell even reads an author’s books before interviewing them, something that is apparently so unusual that I have heard a guest comment on it and say something to the effect that authors enjoyed being on his show.
Something about that picture makes me think of the employees of Facebook and Google. Just replace the Marlboro with an E-Cig, put the shapely black girl in tight Yoga Pants, and you have it. Of course in certain areas of Silicon Valley, you are very likely to find the cuddling couple behind you that are of the same sex; not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Yes indeed
Sounds grim -- COPD isn't "shortness of breath", it's what used to be called emphysema, is incurable, and is also resistant to remedies. If he also has pneumonia, at his age, the two can lead down the drain pretty quickly. Get well Art, you global warming hysteria-mongering dickens you!
Used to listen to him decades ago. Called his show 2 times and got thru.
