I get why you quit. I can't believe the way people are writing such horrid things. 

For what its worth, it would seem many have lost perspective. You are a radio personality and I am a fan. Radio shows come and go, radio personalities come and go, life goes on.

For the past 5 or so years I have had a Sirius subscription to listen to Elvis Radio and will continue to keep my subscription and my Elvis radio, but I will miss you and Dark Matter. I wish I could protect you from all of the anger and negativity on this forum but I cannot and it makes me sad. 

I will be around and waiting for your next show, if there will be one.  I remain hopeful.

Peppermint

Kumbaya, my lord, kumbaya.

Peppermint,

What would you say if Elvis hadn't died, but went in and out of retirement like 2 or 3 times and there were years where you couldn't hear him sing anything new. And instead, he was replaced with the recordings of an anus. Then he suddenly comes back, out of the blue, and says he'll be back for a good long while, but you got to buy some sound equipment and a subscription to listen to him. Then a spider bites him and he threatens to move back to Turkmenistan. But that's not the worst thing: the worst thing is he then says that because the equipment cuts out sometimes when he's singing live, and no one will help him with it --- even though he offers for the subscription-only-company that streams his live stuff the genius option to offer the stream without ANYONE PAYING FOR IT, even though no one else in the company does this except Jimmy Buffet. He says he'll quit if they won't. They won't because they're goddamn business people, so, yes, he takes down his myspace and tells us all he's not going to sing again for at least 2 years and prolly never. Meanwhile the anus gets on gabcast and begins to sound like Bing Crosby, making heart's swoon and tremble with pagan lust.

What would you think, then?

I have not laughed this hard at a post in a loooooooong time.

He quit! This is preposterous. I just barely found a job since I graduated from college five months ago so I was barely going to start looking into a subscription for satellite radio or home internet. I was looking forward to this. My plan was to get a beer and a snack and sit down in a nice dark room and listen to the show. Oh well. I bet you George thought this was hilarious. Ugh him and his fake laugh. Does he really think his guest and his audience are really stupid enough to believe his fake laugh is real? Yeah sorry for my rant. I'm not a regular on these boards but I got the mass e-mail.

The George clip is classic. He did not make any mistakes. It is unreal the skill George displays when it comes to this sort of thing.
His publicist must be grinning from ear to ear... and from sea to shining sea.

If I were mediating....I'd look Art straight in the eye and say, "What kind of a message does this send to Asia?"
Daddy spends months getting ready for a wonderful new show........but when it doesn't go perfectly (in your mind!) you just quit!  Is that the role model a father wants to be for his daughter in any endeavor?!

This is a brutal, and very reasonable question.

Fucking nightmare.  I sense a curse at work.  If I find that voodoo wizard the Nooron hired, I'mma break his legs & punch him in the face.   >:(
Go get 'em!  :)

Can I help?   8)

Welcome.  Post often.  Misery enjoys company.

Laughed so hard at this, I cried.

What the heck... MV hosts a BellGab cast and only 50 people can listen and there is no rebroadcast.
Now I read that people lost the stream and others can't figure out how to sign on to listen.
Plus Snorry Dave is a special guest and everyone else trashes Art. I'm canceling my subscription.

Thanks. I hope Peppermint gets back to us on this. Inquiring minds want to know, Peppermint!

Art is back online.  Wonder if he is streaming the podcast with Dave's call, and raging in the night.

Hi Art.
  Please get your ass back to your radio studio and start doing your show.  It's not half as bad as you make it out to be in your mind. Don't be a quitter Art.

HumanBeing

Art is gonna be ripping mad when he hears how smooth George Noory sounded tonight.
;D

Ding ding ding.

Man, I could give a flying fuck what the Nooron has to say.
To quote Stephen King:  I'm so mad I could chew up nails & spit out carpet tacks right now.

Might have to skip that GabCast guys.  No offense.  I hate gn more than ever now. 

Please don't give up Art!  There is still time but the clock is ticking!!!!

Georges contract runs out when man lands on Mars.

Is BellGab willing to fund a mission to Mars. Only have to land one way trip,
are their any volunteers? You will receive a free lifetime subscription of
Sirius XM for your traveling enjoyment to the Lunatic Fringe. We are sorry
But as advertised we are no longer able to provide service outside of the
Northern hemisphere. But you can listen to are full collection of Dark Matter
when you are out of the Service area on our internet replay.

Please excuse the error messages.

If Art is looking at the forum, and this post, I ask: Why not give a firm "fix by" date for Sirius, preferably for 2 months, so the subscribers can actually get what we paid for in the mean time? Even if it is on Sirius' shoulders for the DC's (which I don't believe in the first place,) we can still at least keep reconnecting and get something.

HumanBeing

Over or under 7 days before Art reactivates his Facebook page... I think I like the under haha

Art comes off really poorly with how he's handled the feud with Premiere Radio and, in turn, Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. Of course he would react like a child with SiriusXM despite everything they did to promote his re-entry into talk radio and bending to his demands of another phone line and increasing the timeout feature of the internet stream to four hours. They just weren't willing to give away content for free, which was an unreasonable request from the start and Art knew it. Sorry, buddy, your only option is to sit at home for two years or apologize and come back to Dark Matter, telling your audience that another free trial is available should they want to give it another try. Believe me, the interviews are worth any hassle and if SiriusXM are looking for a long term solution to the problem - you threw in the towel far too early and hurt your legacy in the eyes of many by being the boy who cried wolf once again.

Ok, I agree, I am a washed up has been who has lost what little talent I might have had, my memory is fading
fast and my skills as a Interviewer no longer exist. Like a Prize fighter who took one to many punches I am off
in zombieville. I can take a hint, I am done. So I will now leave and abandon my idea of free streaming along
with a life that has now lost all it's meaning. I am sorry to have crushed so many dreams and now understand
full well that the real King has taken his rightful place on the throne of Bell Gab. I understand I am dead to you
all.

He'll probably sit in stunned silence, reading negative post after post, heart pounding, eyes beginning to water in shame, until he finally arrives at Peppermint's post and realizes that, yes, there is a God, we are all one, and it was all worth it. He'll tell Airyn, "Play my song again, darlin." "What song, Mr. Bell?" She'll say. "My song, damnit! My SONG!" Then she'll hurriedly run over to the ol' dusty shortwave Victrola and puts on "If You Could Hie to Kolob" by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Then he'll lean back in his big easy chair, take a good long drag of his menthol E-cigar, and his eyes will roll back in his head in supernatural ecstasy.

If you could hie to Kolob

We just want you back Art!  The show rocked!
You pulled the rug out from under us after only 6 weeks!
You have to expect some anger from us.

Art, we want you back. But really, streaming radio, what makes you so sure it was Sirius' problem with the disconnection problems? We all get interruptions even on youtube, or any other stream. We have problems on our end.
