For those of you late night talk show fans.This will be the third time he has come back from retirement.Hey Art,make up your mind already. Anyway,good to hear he'll be back for the weekend shows.I use to stay up all night and listen to his shows.Some gave me the hebe jebe's,so sleep was not an option.

Good. I miss Art. George is ok and all. But Art rules. He's guest-hosted a few times when George took a day off and it was cool to hear Art back at the mic. Radio is so much in his blood I didn't see how he could retire in the first place.

He's finally returned!

Art Bell is one of the most ridiculous attention-grabbing media whores I ever heard of. The only reason I ever listened to him in the first place is because of this creep (first name: Sean) who implored me to listen to the REAL TRUTH!!....ya know, the stuff THE AUTHORITIES don't want you to hear...

So this creep, who is a regular on Bell's show, and likes to make a big deal about "area 51", alien beings, and so forth, tried to molest my (then) 14-year-old-daughter. So I dealt with him.

But still not not satisfied, I then decided to alert Bell as to the caliber of his "guests"...

And I did get to talk with Bell, who expressed surprise, but then began to pitch me about "things I didn't know about, and might better be left unsaid"....

Gimme a break. The phrase "mental case" comes to mind.

Edit: Removed the creep's last name.

Assuming there's any "truth" on the Art Bell show is ridiculous.

Assuming Mr. Bell will give much credence to someone that calls up and says your guest is molesting my daughter seems equally ridiculous.

Not sure if I understand your point on this one Knot.

Fair enough. I suppose Bell simply took my communication as that of another yobbo with a grudge or something. It was his cavalier attitude that bugged me!

And face it, there are few things in this world that will get a father as angry as a 35-year-old creep putting the make on his 14-year-old daughter.

Almost as angry as a "public voice" (Bell) who clearly couldn't have cared less!

Of course, maybe it's just me...

I agree with ya there...100%.

But considering Bell's show is on something like 500 radio stations with millions of listeners I'm sure he gets his fair share of yahoos harassing him about this or that. So I don't know if I'd fault him for being cavalier.

His own son was supposedly molested by a homosexual teacher from his school. I know that issue hit him pretty hard. Maybe that was karma coming back to get him?

Yay!

Point taken. Again, fair 'nuff.

Huh. Well, I dunno.

Seems to me that if such a thing had crossed his bow, he'd be a bit more concerned. I would be, anyway.

But again, maybe it's just me.

I'm thinking maybe the incident with his son happened after yours. It was just a few years ago.
