George's Special Message (First Night as C2C Host)

[Hawk]

Anyone remember this crock-pot fluffery. This is the first time I've read this since Art revealed on Facebook a few weeks ago that he knew nothing about George or had any role in him becoming the new C2C host in 2003.

On his first official night in the "captain's chair," George Noory offered a special message about his connection with Art Bell, telling the listeners that Art had a major role in his hiring and eventual "grooming" to take his place. George described his early interactions with Art. "My connection with Art Bell was almost like…talking to your idol baseball player when you're a kid. Because he truly is a living legend. I've got to tell you he was so supportive, informative and helpful. He pointed out things that he thought I was doing wrong and he pointed out things he thought I was doing right. And he really told me one major thing: 'George, put your own mark on this program. You're going to have lots of people who'll support you, millions of people, and you're going to have some that won't. It doesn't matter. You do what you think is best!'

Speaking directly to Art via the airwaves, George said: "I will do you proud, the best I can, Art. There comes a time in this life wherever you might be that you have an opportunity to work with someone who is literally…like a god in this business. Someone you can look up to and respect. I've had the opportunity and so now, no matter what happens in this broadcasting business for me, I had a chance to work with Art Bell."

Yeah well actually I believe they did meet to discuss things, and seems to me Art Bell was pretty damn silent about it at that time--now all of sudden he makes a stink, sorry but I think both these guys are full of shit. Art Bell is no god, god of cats maybe, but no god.

You're right. But he is a helluva radio host. No one will ever really know the whole story. And honestly, they could be gay lovers having a tiff. I really don't care. I am quite pleased Art is back. I am fortunate to be able to afford it.


Anything more in this good guy bad guy stuff is just posturing.
