Art Bell

[NXOEED]

I appreciate Keith's candid account of all things Rowland on last night's Gabcast, but I'm even more suspect of things going forward now. He says Premiere fired him for bickering with a team member (naturally he describes this person as paranoid), which seems consistent the public image he's presented: social autist, difficult to work with, prone to drama, doesn't handle pressure well, etc. There's likely far more to the story there. I sincerely hope he can grow and conduct himself professionally with the OTHER people Art may require in getting this show off the ground, but man, I'm skeptical.

I don't know. He seemed like a good dude. I know it's impossible to tell after listening to a single conversation, but I was left with good feelings and proud of everybody involved. I have a whole new appreciation for what he does, what Art's doing, the ride they're about to take, and what I (fan and listener) can do to help.

We're all prone to drama. We hang out on message boards.

I never understood the Rowland haters either, how did they not understand that it was a one man operation and that he was "the man"?
It's good to hear too that he'll have an assistant from now on.

[MV/Liberace!]

Thanks, Keith. I'm glad you called, on multiple levels.

if i say pay $120 for a year would it be possible that you could give the extra year's subscription to someone who is less fortunate and cant afford the $60?
im not sure how you would make them prove they cant afford it and are not just a moocher/tightwad.

Wonderful Idea!
How about starting a thread on Bellgab for people that want to pay extra for someone less fortunate.
The less fortunate could post their unique circumstance that they feel, would qualify them for a request for help.
The haves can then vet the have-nots, on a case by case bases.

For example, I may want to help someone that claims and receives government disability payments, that can't afford to marry his long girlfriend, who also claims and receives her own individual disability payments.
If they married, their joint married benefits would be less than the combined total of their single benefits.

This couple would need to post their plan on Bellgab, to reduce their cost of living expenses, so they could afford to be married, and if they then married. I would gladly pay for a year's subscription as a wedding present.

It's a win win. They get married and live happily ever after and save the tax payers money too!
All this 'good' for the 'carrot' of an Art Bell subscription!

Keith, I'm really glad you were on the podcast last night.  Please come back to the forum or call into the show from time to time. 

[jazmunda]

Thanks MV and Curtis and others for allowing me to discuss the issues that were a wedge between us. I enjoyed my time on the show. All I can say is check your facts, check your sources and with me directly before forming your opinions. Don't just repeat other's rumors. I've stayed away from Bellgab in the past, due to the corrosive environment and criticism that I did not want to read. I hope I've cleared up any misconceptions of my actions. I want us all going in the same direction.

Interestingly you may like to know, that at the time Art was coming back to SiriusXM, and I was building the secret ?, ? ? ?, !!! website, I was watching you all speculate what was coming. It was also fun taking your suggestions on bumper music to add to the letters of the splash page letters.

I hope we can have a productive and fun relationship in the future. - KR

Thanks for listening to my suggestion and turning the ! pink.

Despite the fact that I initially thought (hoped) it was Art responding to me it remains one of the top 5 achievements in my life just behind marriage and 3 beautiful kids.

It was great chatting with you last night and if you ever want to unload the massive collection of Art Bell archives you have stashed away I will reimburse you handsomely.

I will vouch for jazmunda. Those could be shared on the down low. No one has to know it was Keith.

Man, what a mind fuck to read the last several days of 'activity', to say the least, in the past few hours.

Now I need to catch up on the Gabcast podcasts to hear the rest of it.

I sure picked the wrong weekend to be gone.

You're one of us now.

[Coz]

You're one of us now.

Dude.. not even you are one of us.

You really have to be more diligent in the hazing department.

I just peek in every few days and take an average.

You`ll drive yourself mad if you attempt to perpetually stay current.

[Coz]

OK... so I listened to the gabcast. The internet gods were making sure I could not get the stream.

Compared to other emergency gabcasts this was a snoozefest. And thank god for that.

So we're no longer attacking Art, I presume because his show is coming soon. Now we are attacking Keith. But we've stopped attacking Keith because he and Art made all friendly and shit.

Keith who was brutally vilified for bumping the Spec Sheet off Dark matter, now is having his ample (but cute) buttocks kissed for access to the Dark Matter Network. Presumably so the Spec Sheet can rise above 26 listeners.

There's just no news here. Nothing changed.

(Note... this is an attempt to troll. It's a bad attempt. But consider the fact that earlier I was posting without any clothes on)

^^^^ No No No this is not needed. The accepted way to convey this message, so as not to offend the 'clique' and Art and company, is when making a snarky post, finish off with a nice grouping of well thought out emotion icons.

[b_dubb]

Keith Rowland ... we read you five by five. The Winged Neckbeard is clear to taxi and takeoff from runway 666 muhahahah

[eddie dean]

Please think about snapping a few pics of the hardware and studio setup and posting them, Art.

YES! Please do Art. Snap a few pics or do a short vid of the gear and install.

I've never been much of a fan of "Unboxing" videos, but I'd watch Art do one with the new studio gear.

[No Quarter]

well it's the best there will be from now on and mark my words

Marked...but you're wrong

Yeah it's tough to keep up, as much as I want to.  Lately five new pages get posted every day and I don't have the time at home that I once used to have to waste at a computer.

I will cover the short dudes on Zeta-Reticuli who have progressed beyond the need for the 'dross we call money' and probably cannot pay to get the downloads.

I would love to get one of them to call in, but I don't think they need phones, either...

[DocHolliday]

Because my copy of The Quickening that my mom bought me when I was ten years old gave me nightmares.

Kidding of course, I loves me some Art, just been getting slammed with work/life and can't check every day   It's nice to be caught up though with where things are headed...I'm patiently and eagerly waiting for July, which is also my birthday--him coming back will be the best present EVAR.

heh heh, you really did read the quickening at age ten?

MV,
   Great Gabcast last night. Did you know Keith was going to call in?

BTW, your daughter was more engaging and intelligent sounding than Dave at his "best".

Well I'll throw in my philanthropic sombrero here and say that I will absolutely pony up and pay a full years' MITD subscription to any height challenged gay or transgendered bible believing southpaw gluten intolerant vegans of color who do not currently own their own home or vehicle. Because life is tough enough and I just want to give back ya know?

Or, it could just be any poor slob living in Florida or Australia. 

[ItsOver]

I'd pay for Dave's MITD subscription, if I thought he could learn something from it but I know better.  Maybe I'll pay for it just to piss him off.
