Art Bell

[Richard Groyper]

Gosh, one or two people suggest this interview idea and suddenly we need to have both Houses of Congress vote on it?  I say let it go. If people want to talk about it they can. But it's not a serious or practical idea which requires debate.

Agreed. It would be weird if his kids were or are still lurking...

[norland2424]

If you guys really want to fuck with Art, let's get Girl Noory kicked off whatever affiliates are left or destroy her show one night. I just think this is kind of gross. Plus it's not thought out. Who's going to do the interview and what is to be accomplished from this interview?

But maybe I'm just being too much of a bleeding heart?

I don't know. I'm staying out of this one.

Lol do you even think his kids would even come on to do an interview, i personally don't think they will, so i wouldn't worry about it.

This reminds me of the 'Fresh Prince' episode; when Will finally realizes--his dad doesn't, and never did care about him. Sad.

"How come he don't want me, man!"

*one of the best TV scenes I've ever seen*

Your avatar grosses me out. It looks more like a corpse than an alien.

Which one?  They both.....

[paladin1991]

Come on people. I think it's time for a group hug. Everyone gather 'round.

AND NO ASS GRABBING!

Too late.

[Mr. Fidget]

The Bell biorhythm appears to show an imminent event horizon.

This is our way.

[paladin1991]

The use of the word "Jew" is absolutely the worst thing that I have read on this board... (at least in the last five seconds.)

Jew know what?  I tin jew are too sensitive for dis forum.  Jew need a little mota.  Relax, ese.

Besides that article is what from 2007, for all we know they might worked shit out since then.

[paladin1991]

This scenario is playing out in my head of kids who were abandoned being asked their favorite things about their father and for what secret things he really wants for Christmas.

Besides who's going to do the interview? Exactly.

I nominate Jackstar.  He would be cool with the kids.  Get them laughing, loosen them up before they bled out for the satisfaction of a couple of assholes who want to just to shit on anything or anyone that is even vaguely related to BELL.  And MV as Jacky boy's co-pilot.  It's his show after all.

Let's hope not.  (JUST KIDDING  )

[K_Dubb]

LOL! No fucking shit. That's what it's all about: Art "quit", people got pissed off, and now they wanna strike back at Daddy. What better way than his family? People act like they give a shit about his kids but the only thing they really care about is that he quit. Kids are just a means to an end. If Art didn't step down like he did this discussion wouldn't even exist. It's all based on purely selfish motives and everybody knows it. Not that that's some grand revelation or anything but there you go.

Yep.  Another pathetic attempt to get some attention from Art.  I really hope he's learned not to respond.

Art's domestic affairs, past and present, are uninteresting to me.  That's not sycophancy; I'd extend the same courtesy to my worst enemy.

We'll only know for sure if there's a tell-all interview. 

[Uncle Duke]

VoteQuimby, I get it. I don't think there should be any such interview(s). However, I think discussing his past (that has been factually documented) is fair game. Including his former wives, and his children. As long as it's done legally!

Pretty much my feeling as well.  If his kids want to give interviews, up to them but I wouldn't waste my time listening to or reading such interviews.  In my mind I've already established what kind of person Art is.

[Jackstar]

I nominate Jackstar.

Why am I laughing at Paladin's sense of humor regarding the Jews while not being too impressed with WOTR's attempt? I'm not sure, but one is working better than the other. It's tough to get right, as is most ethnic humor these days. Anyone miss Don Rickles? I do. (No, he's not dead, just retired.)

Paladin is a veteran. He can joke about whatever the fuck he wants, and you will laugh, Boy.

[Value Of Pi]

But we have not quite reached 800 pages since Art quit. We HAVE to have something to post about.

This is our way.

Yeah, I get it, I guess. There's all this open white space on these here web pages which has to get filled up somehow. Everybody needs to shovel as much as possible, if only for MV's sake. I hope he appreciates it.

Rickles is the one comedian I would have loved to have seen live, especially in a place like Vegas.  He was amazing as a guest host on the Tonight Show, an absolute scream.

Digging Art's celebrity grave since 2015!

Dancing on that grave since 2016!

They haven't, though Art has had plenty of opportunity to change that. What's the harm in giving Vincent and Lisa a platform to speak, should they accept? Art certainly has one and continues to use it whenever the PW article comes up around here. I've put in an interview request and we'll see where it leads, if anywhere. If a call in show like the Gabcast is too much for them to take on or MV declines hosting duties, I'll handle it myself.

Don't you want to know what crossed Lisa's mind when she received a signed copy of The Art of Talk from her biological father after first contacting him, what's gone on in Vincent's life after the 2007 article and if it gave him closure, or their thoughts on the stalker fiasco? I'd love to go in depth about their upbringing and try to understand why Art is so unapologetic about leaving their mother behind with two small children. I don't plan on it being a hit piece and the interview could open the door to rekindling a relationship, who knows? They both seem like well adjusted, happy people with families of their own so they may decline to speak about Art at all.

[Jackstar]

Don't you want to know

Meh... I often leave people cold.

[WOTR]

Good- a humanitarian.  Think of the children... It is all about the children and giving them a healthy relationship with their father  (what better present could this board give Art than the gift of his estranged children?  And we could give them Art- the gift that would keep giving.) 

And if we all get to laugh and drag people through the dirt- all the better.

Where is the ass cancer dispensing dolphin when we need him?

And you would have been a lucky man, indeed. The GF saw him live in Vegas in the '80s and raves about the experience. Loves the guy, as do I. I probably would hide in the last row for fear of becoming one of his foils, but that actually would be a fun thing to have happen.

His performances are still very funny, but it's amazing how times have changed. He couldn't get away with most of his act these days, no matter how long he spent telling the audience how much he doesn't really mean what he says (which was his custom with audiences).

No.  Do you really think this would be good for them?

[Hollow Man]

[Fuck, I'm just getting to this one. Having a life sucks sometimes...]

Somebody's missing the context, aren't they you?

OK, (said in a inflection-challenged Heather Wade voice).  Art had EVERY reason to quit and sue Premier(e) after what really happened to his son.  There's a guy in prison right now and Art's son got his life royally fucked up over it.

Ramona had a well-known issue with asthma and was probably a reason she relocated to Southern Nevada.

Both tragedies well understood and, along with falling off a tower or pole, gave Art good reason to not do a show...

Which brings us to modern day Art Bell and his bullshit excuse, failure to take action and slow-to-appropriately handle the situations he explained were happening.  The story has fluctuated, the weirdness ensued.  (Sorry if I'm losing you on the "off-the-grid" words.)

When you get up to 5th grade reading level, then grow some pubic hair and figure the rest of the shit out.  While you're reading, let me answer your question, No, Heather won't let you suck at her teat, child. That is, unless you pay for the whole hour.

<EDIT - Additional sentence at end of post>

Context?? What context? How the fuck was I supposed to see the "context" behind your stupid little poem? All I see is you trying to be cute and snarky and trying to shit on Art and his family. What, I'm supposed to read your fuckin' mind or something? 5th grade level? Fuck, Stephen Hawking could read that and he'd come to the exact same conclusion I did.  Lame. Stop trying to be "deep", dude, it ain't working for ya.

I gotta say, it's funny, though. You think he had good reasons in the past for doing what he did, leaving because of his son, quitting Premiere, etc., [either then and years later in 2010 when he left for good] and you support all that, and your post history shows you were a big fan.. but the moment he left two months ago you turned on him, just like that- complete change of heart. THAT'S what did it. No understanding, no benefit of the doubt, nothing. Just done. And now you wish death on him! LOL!!! Fucking incredible. Yeah, you're real stable, motherfucker...

While you're reading, let me answer your question, No, Heather won't let you suck at her teat, child. That is, unless you pay for the whole hour.

WHAT?!?! Shit, are you serious? So you mean I've done this all for nothing? Well, fuck that bitch, then, I ain't white-knighting for free.

[Hollow Man]

So...  Heather wrote something about hoping Dave would die on the air, right???

After reading that archived newspaper article AND THE COMMENTS (namely Kevin Bell) I have figured it out.

Art Bell is a fucking asshole.  Go fucking die Art.

Airyn and Asia, you're next to be abandoned.

HAHA!  You're not pissed because Art abandoned his kids; you're pissed because Art abandoned YOU. I've read your fucking post history, genius. Until that son of a bitch stepped down in December you were as fanatical an Art fan as anybody. That only changed when he "quit". Some deranged little faggot was fucking with him and his family and he chose his family over you and you couldn't take it. So now you're striking back anyway you can because you're a whiny butt-hurt little bitch who thinks he owes you something.

Maybe the seeds were planted when Art Bell started shoveling bullshit with claims of a stalker. The story, and his actions, weren't consistent with each other.

Yeah, exactly. Stalker. That's the only reason you give a shit. It's all fake outrage. Art's kids could die in a fucking terrorist attack and you couldn't care less. Eat shit and die.

[Hollow Man]

Yeah, Rickles is great. He was definitely before my time so I never had the chance to see him either, but I'm seen some old shit of his and he was hysterical. It'd be hilarious see him performing in front of a bunch of some of your more butt-hurt, PC college kids and my fellow millenials. Of course the people I hang with would like him fine, but there's a swath of people who would die out of outrage, no matter what warnings he gave, LOL. 

[Hollow Man]

Eh, it's not gonna happen. Just talk. He says he doesn't want to do a hit job on Art and that's fine, fair enough,, but the Gabcast ain't gonna get the job done. I don't see them having the desire to do it. If it happened I'd listen to it, but I don't see it.
