Coast to Coast with George Noory: Guest Tonight is John Taylor Gatto

Coast to Coast with George Noory ^ | November 7, 2004

Thank you for your kind words. It wasn't easy but it sure was worth it. I will tell you that I worked a job outside the home to help support my parents, both of whom were ill.

I would have much rather come and home cooked dinner, cleaned up and put my feet up watched TV or read a book. Instead, I invested my time in my kids, my daughter and my nephews (when they were living with me) and it paid off for them. And, it will pay off for anyone who invests themselves in the lives of young people. They are our future and they are well worth anything we can do to help them.

Knock off the personal attacks

Bump for later...

I don't care. Just knock it off.

Noory is in love with his own voice. I try to listen, but his habit drives me up a wall. I mean, why have a guest, when you're going to spend the night "well I always thought" "when I went to school" "Did I tell you I went to the University of Detroit and studied denistry?" "That's interesting, same thing happened to me once when I ..."

Bell is so adroit at handling guests, his style goes unnoticed unless you're watching for it. The guest is the star. The audience is always engaged and rewarded with new information. He has a superbly subtle sense of humor, and his bumper music choices always have some innuendo about the subject matter. His mastery of theme and continuity make the time just fly. His shows should be taped and outlined for lessons in hosting guests on radio.

Oh. If you've never heard Art Bell in his prime, you've missed some great American folklore and storytelling.

I've always loved listening to Art Bell. His show is perfect for the middle of the night. You know most of the topics are absolute hokum, but they're irresistible. Even the ads he does for sponsors are unlike anything else on radio. Love it.

I was working a night shift a few years ago while making a career change and discovered Art Bell. It's a great club, isn't it?

I mean Russian meteors, missing submarines, Chupacabras, earthquake geologists, Rosicrucians, Big Foot researchers, Dr. Mitiu Kaku, cold fusion, missing-link anthropology, ancient mythology, flying saucer sightings, bibilical research and exorcisms!

What's not to like?

Oh. If you've never heard Art Bell in his prime, you've missed some great American folklore and storytelling.

I've never heard him, only this Noory character. I know that the times I've listened to Coast to Coast I've heard the most ridiculous, paranoid, vain, and foolish speculations tossed about. I - me - personally - think such things are like sugar to a persons' brain. I have precious little of that to feed junk to.

[Uncle Vlad]

And don't forget lanolin, glucosomene (sp?), and condroitin

[GVnana]

And all the hair follical stuff too!

We have been discussing inexpensive ways to fast track kids through high school to avoid the liberal agenda:

The thread title was not well thought out, because some parents might instinctively skip over it due to attached stigma, whether real or imagined.
