I guess Art closed his Facebook account because he's a f'n pussy and can't handle the deserved heat after f'n us all over  >:(, f'n pussy.

I feel sorry for Producer Paul who may have quit a job to join Art on this ill-fated venture.

I also feel sorry for Keith who has no doubt spent hours upon hour of work perfecting artbell.com only to see his efforts get flushed down the toilet on the whim of an flaky boss.

Hopefully they only took art on as one of many clients, not the sole client.

Sure it is.

Who cares what Noory is doing. Hes still a fuckwit mouth-breather. He sucked before Dark Matter, and he will suck after Dark Matter.

I said this in August on this forum and I wished I was wrong, well I guess was wrong, I should have said 6 weeks, not 6 months.  It might be interesting to know the whole story, but I don't think, right now at least, I really care.  I'm not going on anymore rides with Art and being abandoned on the side of the road.  I'm not getting in that car anymore.

"....Perhaps some time off and a new show under a new format like XM will let him get some of that edginess back and have a show worth staying up for again.  Well I'm cautiously optimistic but it's the last ride I'm going on with him.  There's still a part of me that expects him to have some irreconcilable difference with XM program management and in 6 months the show will be gone again. "

What a kick in the gut.  I'm in shock.

MV/Liberace!

my instincts tell me we should let some dust settle, here.

It's all over but the Downfall parody.

What a bunch of fucking horsehit!!!! I hope he's writing a check as we speak to all those people that paid for Sirius just to hear him. That said, and I'm just speculating, why would he announce on Facebook and leave all contact info about the show on his site? Seems to me like he would remove all numbers and things way to contact him.

I just rang up SiriusXM, got a manager on the line, she said that they currently don't have an update on that show's schedule, but she hopes this is incorrect because she enjoys Art Bell.

fuuuuuuuuuuck. I didn't ask about getting any money back.

Please, oh please let this be a negotiating tactic.

I would very much appreciate an explanation as to why Dark Matter is being cancelled.  What's the deal?

What dust?! Art sold the dust (along with all of us) down the fuc#ing noorey river!

THERE IS NO DUST!

DesertFox

Frankly i'm NOT upset--because I went into this knowing any day might be Art's last before he quits again.  I thoroughly enjoyed Art full-time for a straight month with all his classic tunes and his trademark wit and classic radio voice.

I was steeled for Art quitting and it does not surprise me--I always thought of this as my last taste of Art and the goodbye that I did NOT get the last few times Art quit.

Because I was ready for it this time!  So this was all just an extra bonus that came when it looked like it never would.  Everyday I was expecting the end--so Art didn't get me this time! 

So I just got enjoyment, bonus Art and no bad taste because I was ready this time.  So Art thanks for the 28 new shows.

can't believe I am saying this, but if it IS a negotiating tactic and the show stays on, I will forgive and forget.

needless to say, I have been fucked over by a ton of chicks.   :D

Thirded!  It is what it is at the moment. Only one way to find out....

Now can be a time for reflection.  I don't think people should rub it in, but some people were pummeled by those who couldn't fathom the idea of Art leaving the show like this.  I held out hope, but the tell-tale signs were there: a "backache" induced absence several days ago, and a hollow, inflated reason to give SXM an ultimatum.  Companies don't like ultimatums, or an "all in" challenge.  Art went "all in" because he knew they'd let him go.  MV is correct.  Time for a breather and perhaps an old vintage wine with Bach turned up really loud.

George doesn't believe in coincidences and maybe he's right to a certain extent. Don't know if this has been mentioned, but Art's last show on Coast was Halloween as well. It seemed awfully strange to me that a 68 year old man had this burning desire to un-retire. Maybe he was playing us from the start.

Don't you all see? He wasn't MAN enough to TELL SIRIUS! THEY DONT KNOW!

I hope they sue the bitch.

I am going to continue to have hope that all of this will work out. I'm not going to stop supporting Mr. Bell, when things get tough or when things get 'glitchy'.  There are a number of reasons as to why Mr. Bell's personal facebook page is no longer active and so he shouldn't be slanted for it without there to be 'proven' fact as to what -actually- has happened to it.

People that express their devotion and admiration for Mr. Bell until something unexplainable happens all of a sudden, those very same people turn nasty, against a man who is just as -human- as the rest of us, makes it easy for Mr. Bell to perhaps consider to not continue, which would be detrimental to his true and -loyal- fanbase.

Mr. Bell has made every attempt at filling the needs of his domestic listeners and his international listeners by using Skype for international callers. His first Dark Matter show, he explained in detail as to what happened between him and C2C. He didn't -have- to give us an explanation as to what really happened, but he did. How many of us would be able to do the same, after getting the same flack which is currently being given to him now?
He faced the expectant wrath once and I believe that he will do it again. Just be patient.

I realise that a lot of people are upset and frustrated, but from what I can see there is no reason to jump this ship, for I truly believe that this ship is only changing its course and I'm certainly still remaining for the ride.

(This post only expresses my personal views and is not meant to cause a flame war or offend anyone.)

Kind Regards,
from those of us that listen quietly.

I believe this !! And im not a quiet type ..but i believe !!

popple

I just wanna tumble down mel's hole & never come back :'(
