Art, I'm so sorry to hear the news. I really enjoyed Dark Matter and am very sad to say goodbye to such a wonderful show. I support you 100% and hope that you find a better venue. Until then, could you call me a few times a week? We could talk for a few hours each night, about UFOs and stuff. Anyway, thanks for looking out for your audience, and let me leave you with this appropriate quote, "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." - Albert Einstein

It seems to me the real villain here is Sirius. The drops were probably by design (to save that corporate money), and Sirius seems to have no interest in "fixing" it. Art was trying to do something good for his listeners by standing up for us. He played poker, and Sirius called him. I'm sure Art would admit that some things could have been done or said differently, but it is what it is. The real culprit is Sirius and their greedy ways. So instead of bitching and moaning, and saying terrible things to Art in the depths of our frustration, how about we campaign Howard Stern to help us, and Art. He has much more pull with Sirius, and doesn't mind being vocal. We should all write and call Stern, and plead with him to talk to the "higher-ups" at SXM. It couldn't hurt. I understand why you did what you did, Art, and although I'm as butt-hurt as the rest, I support you and hope your real fans will mobilize, put pressure on Sirius, and do something other than bitch and throw around negativity. Love you, Art!
