Art Bell announced last night that he is retiring from his popular Coast to Coast radio show.

Knowing that his listeners have heard him retire on previous occasions, Bell said, “This time it’s for real though. [chuckles] It’s for real.”

Bell explained that this time he was retiring not for some tragedy or emergency, but to be with his wife and infant daughter. Married a little over a year ago to Airyn (Ruiz) Bell, roughly 40 years his junior — he married her a few months after his wife, Ramona, died suddenly — daughter Asia Rayne Bell was born just a few weeks ago. Bell’s voice sounded emotional at times during the announcement, as if he was holding back tears:

“God has blessed me with love in my life at a time, frankly, when I thought I had lost any reason to live following Mona’s death: my wonderful wife Airyn and now our daughter Asia. I really want what time the Lord has left for me to be with them.”

Bell commented that on June 17th, he became eligible for Social Security. Then he laughed as he reflected on that fact. He turned 62 on that date.

UGH!

Ugh on retirees having babies (Dead Tony Randall anyone?)

Ugh on MamaWayYoungerBaby spawning (again with Dead Tony Randall and the like)

Ugh on 'false retiring' . . . remember the "don't go away mad . . . just GO AWAY!" ????

Take your UFO-conspiracy Whacko crap . . . and just. Go. Away.

That is all

Oh. Did I forget to mention I'm not an Art Bell fan?

I remember Art retiring 10 yrs. ago and they brought in George Noory. A few weeks later..Art was back and they had them both on.For a while i couldnt tell them apart.

If you listen to Mancow... and if you believe in Quackery.....
According to a guest Mancow had on last week..we will all be told that Aliens are among us and the Govt. will reveal this This summer.

SIGHTING OF DISC-SHAPED OBJECT OVER O'HARE AIRPORT, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AT 16:30 HRS. (CENTRAL) ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 07, 2006

JANUARY 4, 2007 UPDATE: We are delighted by the recent, and extensive, press coverage of this sighting, which NUFORC first reported on its website on November 14, 2006.

Following posting of the first report of the incident to our homepage, the Coast-to-Coast radio program, hosted by George Noory, interviewed Peter Davenport briefly about the case on November 15, 2006. At that time, no witness yet had consented to come forward and be interviewed publicly.

It doesn't say when his last show will be. I wonder if there's still time for Mr. Belcher to get him.

His last show will be last Sunday. Except for the guest host, substitute host, special show host times. Have a feeling too much effort would be spent on getting through for the belcher. Last retirement was to spend time with the wife. It ended when she did.

Sure do like Mr. Bell's broadcast abilities. His personal life sucks.

I listened to that show once in a while when I had some odd work hours (was bartending part-time and driving home late-nites)... He and his guests were doom&glooming the coming Y2K thing, basically saying that we'd be hurled back into Stone Age civilization. No power grid, no water utilities, no computers, no banking, stock collapse. THEN, they'd go into commercials for "1 year supply of canned food" and solar powered radios and gold coins and survivalist stuff.

He ought to be ashamed.

[kingpin242]

First off, what's he retiring from ? He has a two night a week gig. What a strain that must be.

Second, he'll be back. Art always comes back. And yeah, I like the guy.

You ought to give Alex Jones a try sometime, true wacko stuff. I listen just for the entertainment value.
