I wish I could recall which old show Art did where a woman called in, claiming to be an employee of a government facility (perhaps area 51) and she said a colleague of hers worked there and he was working on something top secret but there were these weird animals being found around the area and supposedly they were escaped experiments from the facility.

Anyone remember that one?

Actually I think I have some of those critters.  Back some years ago I used to run America's Smallest Sideshow. Complete with a ten foot banner line.  Folks would line up to plop down and dollar go inside and see the oddities.  When I had my Chupacabara show, Border Patrol and other LEO's from the great southwest would tell me their stories.  Suffice it to say, what I had inside was real and the stories you read of folks dying of thirst when trying to cross the desert into Arizona, are just that, stories.

Maybe one day I will relay the tale of the time I was face to face with America's Largest King Corba, all 17 feet of him...and no, he was not defanged, "Hot" as a skillet, one might say.

Let me get this straight. So because it's the internet, it's totally appropriate to use foul language and have no class?? That doesn't mean you don't have a right to your opinions but opinions can be stated without having to use the F word so casually. It's used almost as much as the word "the".

Yup, its called decorum...something that seems to be lacking these days..

How does a chupacabra hope ?

Is there a chupacabra wish fairy ?

And why wait for Art to come back ? He still has a website.

Because, timing is everything....

A pause for sentiment and a message for Art.

Sentiment: The build up on ArtBell.com to the announcement. All the hints, secret messages, and links to the music...no one does it like Art, NO ONE! And it worked, steering us right into increasing anticipation of the message and excitement for his return. We were invited, enticed, into taking the ride and we scrambled on board. ART WAS BACK! Those of us who were with Art during the best days of Coast to Coast in the 90s knew the true significance of the event; the Messiah returns! Yes, he is THAT good.

Art, Mr. Drama who was the dynamic of Coast, who made Coast an encounter in the middle of the night where the host was reason enough to listen, but we also got guests talking about EVPs years before anyone heard of "Ghost Hunters," a guest who tossed dead animals into a bottomless hole, a guest who had an alien reptile lover visit her on earth, a guest who had an alien in his freezer, a guest who assured us the stars in the sky were actually a holographic image masking other life filled planets, a guest who saw images of a cruise ship on Mars, calls from time travelers, fanatics, weirdos and intellects, all unscreened and surprising.

And, in the midst of all this excitement Art would occasionally do things such as accidentally gluing his lips together with super glue during a commercial break while "Dancing Queen" entertained listeners waiting for more.

Yea, we loved every minute of it, loved Art, and were so damn excited about his return to us. We had waited a decade for this moment and as Art would say, "Well, there you have it."

Of course we are disappointed, hell we are crushed. This is more than just a radio show,  THIS IS ART BELL!

So some lashed out with bitter disappointment saying harsh words, and hateful words. Some were just trolls waiting to pounce. Others just pled and begged for a change of heart or decision.

Now to the message for Art part: Do you get it Art? Maybe it's creepy, maybe it's too much for you, call it a cult, whatever..., the bottom line is you mean that much to us. On gabcast our reaction was compared to the stages of grief. Excellent analogy because losing you is something we already know about and it has been a deep loss we don't want again, especially having another taste and hearing you say you want to be on the air.

So Art, keep up the good fight. Don't give up. Make it happen. The Art Bell base is still here, waiting, again. And get a damn lawyer who has experience dealing effectively with noncompetes and knows what he is doing.

Waiting and loving, Free Art Bell!

Ha!  I remember Art gluing his lips together--that was a hoot! 

Now if Art gets back on the air is whatever capacity, I promise, I will send full color close up pictures of my actual Chupacabra that I have had for some years.  I got it out of Bandera County TX.  It is actually a Chup Pup that unsuccessfully tried to hope across the road before meeting its end in the grill of a Dodge Ram pick up truck. 

If that doesn't do it, then how about my "mermaid" creature, about 3-4 foot long.  Originally caught off the Cacaos Islands back in the early 50s.  Had been seen for years in a bar there in the Cacaos for decades until it finally closed and I got it out of an auction down in Florida.  Terrifying indeed. 

Anyway, Art once he gets back, I will send off the pictures to him for his display, and enjoyment!

New here, but been listening to Art Bell since the mid 90s.  Anyway, Mr. Bell should contact Michael Savage of the Savage Nation and find out who his attorney was in his case to extract himself from a contract situation with TRN.
