[E. Pluribus Unum]

Chris Carter would be my choice for Director.

[Macoozie]

Good actor.
Odd choice for this role.

Did they even talk to Art Bell/Coast to Coast fans for some suggestions?

Or maybe do an Episode and ask Art himself?

[blackdog]

I can’t wait.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What I want to know is why hasn’t anybody heard from Bell in the seven years since he died?

[Joe 6-pack]

Art passed away some years back. I suppose some of his past guests could reach him through a seance.

[Beowulf9]

You’d have to use a Ouija board in which case Art would still not answer (being he passed on a few years ago) because he’s against Ouija boards. You never know what will come through.

Art had the most interesting show on radio. Ever. Wish he was still around.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

[DIRTYSECRET]

He always played off-beat characters.

Art bell usually had a mustache.

Showings only at midnight, 2AM and 4AM to get the Art Bell fans.

[Joe 6-pack]

I would have cast Judd Nelson.

[CarolinaPeach]

Dan Akroyd would have been a good choice to play Art and he was on the show at least once.

I didn’t listen to his show that much when it was on, but when I did, it made me long to be able to walk around Pahrump NV in the wee hours of the morning.

“You’d have to use a Ouija board in which case Art would still not answer (being he passed on a few years ago) because he’s against Ouija boards. “

The thing with Ouija boards is you don’t know who you’re really talking to. I wouldn’t allow one in my house.

[Mariner]

cool

[Macho MAGA Man]

East of the Rockies... you’re on the air

[abigkahuna]

For many years I would listen to Art religiously. Went to sleep with him playing on the CCRane Radio. I think Art made that company what it is today....

Did I buy what was on the air?—Some of it was silly bunkum, Some of it was entertaining and some was purely, Hmmmmmm....

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Coast to Coast with Art Bell was a super antidote to the anxieties and worries the listeners’ own day-to-day existence. Just click on that program and be transported by stories of the callers to dimensions of existence and experience you never before imagined. That program was addictive!
