Back when I was still playing music professionally, my ride home in the wee hours of the morning after the show was almost always accompanied by Art Bell. There's something special to me about listening to AM radio on the open road at night - and more so when that AM radio is talking about chemtrails, remote viewing, aliens, ghosts, government conspiracies, chupacabra, Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, and just about any other fodder from the "unprovable" category.
I knew I hit late-night AM radio nirvana one night when Art's guest said, (paraphrased), "...The hood-cloaked monk-like creatures are FAR more influential than the lizard-people..." I laughed uncontrollably for several minutes after that, all by myself.
Bell's show had the strange ability to make me think, shiver, laugh, and scoff, often in rapid succession. I think the magic of Art Bell is how he treats all guests and callers as if they should be taken seriously - and yet there are times when you can hear in his voice that he knows he is talking to a crackpot.
