If you would stop bullshitting on GFY, you would realize there is a big world waiting for you.
Art Bell left radio several times. Nothing this serious has ever happened to him. He cut back from a weekly show to weekends, and then to Sunday evening. He built his own radio station close to Las Vegas. I'm betting the death of his wife will lead to another exit from radio..........OUR LOSS. He became a millionaire with his syndicated radio show.

MicroChick, you won't believe it but for YEARS I worked on an online magazine with Art Bell. We would do his nightly chats and would pitch ideas and guests. Both times he semi-retired it was during 'my' shift. He would come into my chat while we were on the air and then that night, bam, he would retire.
People around the world owe him their lives a dozen times over as he's exposed crook after crook after fraud after murderer etc. Sort of if Batman had a radio show at night.
We had a kick ass team of researchers and we would go after crooks like no tomorrow. Put the fear of God into the military-industrial complex gangsters.
He and his wife Ramona were like the Johnny Cash & June Carter-Cash of radio, conspiracy theories, paranormal stuff. He really, really loved that woman no-end. Can you imagine being married for 15 years and NEVER spending a day apart??? They was glued.
She had a beautiful voice. I mean Ramona had a BEAUTIFUL voice. I would nag Art to put Ramona on with him more. She really carried over the airwaves and even if you had rotten speakers she STILL sounded glorious.
Asthma is no joke. I'm just not willing to accept she is gone so soon.
