RIP Art Bell

I enjoy listening to John Batchelor (and not just because he gives Stephen Cohen an hour every Tuesday night). Knowledgable on a wide variety of subjects, doesn't foam at the mouth or demonize any group. Learn a ton listening to him and his guests.

Of course, my local right-wing screech machine station replaced him a few weeks ago with . . . Mark Levin.

 

Didn’t Art Bell beget Alex Jones? Or maybe that was Noory. I thought one of them put Alex Jones on the air a lot.

 

Jones was a regular guest back when his claim to fame was being an “expert” on the global conspiracy centered at Bohemian Grove. Noory used him a lot. Bell was retired to SE Asia by then.

 

A classic. A personal favorite.

 

Sheriff: Radio host Art Bell died of prescription overdose

 

'accidental overdose' indeed.
There were a lot of very powerful people who wanted him silenced for a long time.

 

More common outcome than thought.
Opiates and diazepam can kill if taken together.
There is nothing good about being on a raft of medication.

 

The original Me's Hole call:

 

Memorial Plaque Honoring Art Bell Unveiled at Park in Pahrump, Nevada - Coast to Coast AM

 

Same here, except it was some of the long drives back to the office from games.

 

But not one East of the Rockies?
