Art is one hell of a interviewer. You could tell when his BS meter would go up. Radio hosts could learn a lot from both Art and Rush.
I'd listen to his show on the way back from somewhere late at nite in the car, or occasionally at home when I was listening to something else and Art Bell followed the program I was listening to and I was too lazy to change the channel or turn off the radio. Then I'd get hooked on the hokem. It was pure baloney generally, but I liked it anyway, and some of the topics were pretty interesting in their own out of this world way. My sympathy goes out to Mr. Bell on the passing of his wife. May she RIP.
