Same here!
I used to listen to Art on my drive's to back to Las Vegas which I HAD to make every week WAY BACK IN THE 80'S.
He was broadcasting from atop Jackie Gaughn's Union Palza Plaza in Downtown Las Vegas!
I was a regular caller way back then! Art's show was POLITICAL and he was RIGHT-WING!
I have nothing but admiration for Art Bell!!
One night, I went to the Sport's Book at the Union Plaza, (because I knew he placed his bets there) and sure enough, Art was there and we had a most interesting converation.
The guy is very smart, but "kookie, " ever since he got into the etherworld. He was GREAT when he was politics! But this new age crap"sells."
