Art Teases News on Monday that will be "Shocking for Some." Any Guesses?

[FightTheFuture]

        A fellow faculty member should have fragged him in the teacher's break room. Or a kid should have accused him of putting cameras in the girls bathroom. Any means necessary to stop his Johnny One Note gag.

       The final two weeks of eighth grade was our daffy music teacher playing Bette Midler's "Wing Beneath My Wings" because that was to be our graduation song. Terrible. I think we were supposed to sing it. Not that I would be there...I conveniently had a baseball game the same night as graduation. Real tough choice. I was summer school bound anyway.

My 4th grade year, Mr. Catlett played Nancy Sinatra's These Boots Are Made For Walking until the record got a skip in it. He still played it over and over.

My friend, Jimmy DeWitt, and I, actually hatched a plan to sabotage the record player in the room. But Jimmy got caught sneaking up the fire escape during recess, when Catlett always went down to the teacher's lounge. Unfortunately the principal came up to the room to retrieve some report that Catlett  forgot to turn in and saw Jimmy climbing in through the window.

Jimmy held out as long as he could. But sometime around lunch , Jimmy cracked. He later told me that the principal, mrs. Foster, assured him that he was certainly going to go to hell for this unless he gave up his co-conspirator, yours truly.  Jimmy was a preacher's kid.

We were sentenced to public paddling, to be carried out the next morning in front of the entire class. That's the way they did it back in those days.

Catlett beat us pretty good the next morning. His oak paddle had holes drilled through it. Jimmy cried. I didn't. I had somewhat of a Nathan Hale moment there. I regret that I have but one ass to give for the sanity of my fellow 4th graders.

    If radio programmers took the advice of listeners, wouldn't Noory be gone by now?

I've tried emailing a few of my local talk radio stations, including the one that carries Coast.  They haven't even responded to any of my emails.  It's disheartening but I'll try again.  I have a friend who's a huge Art Bell fan but can't deal with the internet so I'd love to help get the show on radio for her and others folks in the same situation.  If I have to, I'll practice my moonwalk, strap on one of those sandwich boards, and do a little show in front of the program director's office.

Hi Zeebo, Bateman had some good ideas about this on this thread  - including a radio station locator site. There are many small stations that I didn't even know existed that are not i-heart - its real easy to check if they are or not - just click the "i" information page and see if they have an i-heart stream.

You're lucky.  We had to listen to Neil Diamond.

He has acquired the technology to take the show to 11?

This post FTW!

ANNOUNCEMENT from ART BELL: It has been a great two Months start but now it's time to get serious. Starting Oct 1st Midnight in the Desert will send an XDS feed by Satellite to almost 4000 Radio Stations in Stereo, which means all they have to do is flip a switch and we are on.

Now that we are taking this step, we need your help. Please call your local station Manager or Program Director, tell them you would like Midnight In The Desert on their station and that we are now starting Oct 1st on XDS.

Share this with everyone! It's time to Take Back the Night.

YESSSSSSSSS!!!

I'm almost afraid to speculate, but WTH, here it goes:

1.  Art's show will be carried on ALL terrestrial radio stations on Earth.
(Hey, if you're gonna dream, DREAM BIG!)

2.  Art's show will be carried on a big terrestrial network (Cumulus? 150 million listeners)

3.  Art's show will be carried on several big terrestrial stations, replacing C2C.


Let's see what Monday brings.

Looks like my speculation #1, #2 and #3 have a good chance of becoming reality. By sending the XDS signal, any terrestrial radio station will be able to pick up the show if they want to. And I'm sure lots of them want to.

Now let call them and email them requesting that they carry Art's show.
Let's take back the night!

So basically this is just an easier way to get the show to affiliates?

Not Sure, but I think I totally predicted this...

I thinks art will announce that snoron is an alien remote controlled hybrid that colors his fuzz and stache with magic marker and the things brain consist of 512 megs ram with a 1 ghz pentium cpu.

Art announces he will begin broadcasting on the Quantum band (QM of course). Aliens begin calling the show complaining about how humans will start spreading across the galaxy in the 22nd century. Aliens begin building a wall around our solar system. All the aliens sign up for MITD though they have been time travelers for millennia.

He uses an old "Lamour Color Comb" that he got at a garage sale in "The Hood".
