Buy a clue, George. The middle class of the US is NOT awake all night listening to the unreal clap-trap you're selling. If you want to "reach out" to the middle class, you're going to have to do it at some hour when most of us are not sleeping. What an ego this fool has to think he could be elected dog catcher by the nutcakes who listen to his program.
Well, unfortunately, Clear Channel just keeps plugging it along because it’s cheap to just put that program on repeat at night.
Too bad there’s not any real competition for the show. I take a look and there’s Joey Reynolds (a liberal snoozer), John and Jeff (shock jocks) and the trucker shows (my personal favorites, but the major markets really don’t carry them).
There’s one show called “Midnight Trucking” that’s growing pretty quickly. I usually listen to that instead.
Never mind that - the real question is: will he release the strategic beer reserve?
Art Bell is inimitable. A guest reported that after having been forced onto the mother ship, he was made to ejaculate. Without missing a beat, Bell replied, “That would certainly take the edge off an abduction.”
Coast To Coast commands the largest night-time radio audience because it fills a need. We all live moment to moment with the magical, metaphysical, spiritual realities but nobody talks about them. The convention has been to pretend that they don’t exist and to ridicule any who say that they do.
Bell changed that by stoking the late night camp fire as both guests and call-in folks tell their stories: UFOs, ghosts, telepathy, out of the body experiences, futurists, conspiracy theories, demons, angels, government psychic spies, scientists who are taken seriously by geniuses all over the world.
It’s a caveat emptor situation. A trucker describes a wolf-like animal keeping up with his truck at 90 mph and the next guest is Michio Kaku or Jerome Corsi.
If Art Bell is the Babe Ruth of late, late night radio, Noory is Lou Gehrig. With Bell mostly in retirement, no one does it better than George. Both tend to give their guests as much rope as they’ll take, but it’s not Noory’s nature to tell interviewees (definitely a bit wishy-washy) that he doesn’t buy their story.
Unfortunately, though both Bell and Noory were US military officers, historically the politics of audiences most willing to listen to those who overtly acknowledge the paranormal from Carlos Castaneda to Switzerland’s UFO guy Blly Meier have been leftist. And that’s not changing. At the last Bay Area UFO Expo, the speakers I heard, with the exception of George Noory, were Democrat Party operatives.
Worse yet, Ian Punnett, the Saturday night Coast To Coast host produces a program that is ideologically and somewhat stylistically a cross between Air America and PBS. If anything happens to Noory, Punnett is probably next in line.
George Knapp out of Las Vegas has experience with paranormal radio would do a much better job.
David Gold – though I doubt he has any interest – is looking for job.
BTW, it is much more likely that Gold will host Coast To Coast than Noory will ever run for president.
I think that would depend on the price gap between domestic and imported. We need to wean ourselves from dependency on foreign beer, but until more domestic brewers step up to the plate and offer a real, drinkable, cost-effective alternative, well...I just don't know. There are a few who are trying, but "Big Beer" just keeps the little guy down.
;-)
I know nothing about this guy. Never heard of him but could he be better than the current group. Maybe a true conservative for a change.
Noory has had many guests to his show in recent months who have stated that 2012 is the year that the world will definitely come to an end. Maybe its got something to do with that.
*Off-The-Wall Ping*
In other words, there’s no use in waiting until 2012 to run?! LOL!
Noory/Kuchinich - 2012!............/s
Noory is anything but a conservative. Far from it. He rips GWB “a new one” every single night and pretty much reads from the DNC talking points ad nauseam.
Thank you for the info. From the sounds of him, I am glad I have no idea about him.
He’s a nutjob. The only reason I listen to him at times is because he follows my favorite radio talk show host, Chris Plante, on 630AM - WMAL in D.C., and I just happen to have the radio on or something. After you hear the same ‘ol story about vampires, exorcisms, alien abductions & probes and “shadow people”, you pretty much have to laugh it off. But they are being totally serious.
A few weeks ago, an older lady called Noory and told him that she was calling from “beyond the grave” and that she still had some “unfinished business” on Earth, so she really needed to come back and deal with the matter. Noory kept asking her all sorts of questions and kept her on-air for a while.
What is troubling about this is not the fact that this woman was on-air talking about how she’s dead — the problem is that this woman actually passed through a show screener first, then onto Noory, and then on to the fact that Noory thought she was being totally serious.
Nutjobs.
Hahaha! Has Noory bought into that nonsense as well, or is it mostly Art Bell? I can't believe people buy into that foolishness.
Both Noory and Bell can be entertaining listening, but this whole Mayan calendar thing just makes my head spin. If I can get a little post-Colonial here, we run over entire cultures and bend them to our will and yet there are people cowering in their closets because of what Mayans said??? Puhleeze.
Quote: “In every city on my book tour through last year, audiences told me they are crying out for major change in Washington D.C.,” Noory said.”
Uh-huh. Yer wonder what kinda ‘audience’ this is, eh?
BWAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAA
Ghosts and aliens-from-outerspace in his cabinet...
I didn’t hear the beyond-the-grave lady, but some the callers who want you to believe their nonsense can be the funniest.
One guy used his cell phone while claiming to be flying his little plane into Area 51. Bell tells him not to do it because the USAF will shoot him down. The guy doesn’t heed Bell and apparently the government planes take him out. It is hilarious, both the guy’s hysteria and Bell’s deadpan.
Nutjobs are definitely part of C2C, but back in the early 70s while in the Watergate Hearing audience, I heard one of the investigators read a sighting of Lincoln’s ghost into the official record.
There are no conservatives providing any information about how that apparition can exist which means that the left can continuously assert that not only is the right lying about metaphysical realities but also their participation in 911, et cetera.
At least he’ll split the DemonRat vote!
IIRC, part of the "charm" of Coast-to-Coast is that he doesn't use a call screener.
Well, yes, I must admit that Bell’s “deadpan personna” is completely hilarious.
About “shadow people”, some callers said that while they were walking in parking lots at Wal-Mart, or their local grocery stores, or whatever, that they would see people walking aorund the parking lot as well, with no vehicle or method of transportation to go to, and that these “people” had no “shadows”. Hence, they were entities from other worlds here on Earth, poised to “take over”.
Now every time I’m in or aorund a parking lot, I make sure people around me have their “shadows” with them... heehee... ;- )
