The way radio works is..you remember them while they are on the air...then
someone else comes and after awhile it's, "Art who?" Human nature and it's the
radio business..sadly for some.

He made history with his show, and even after he is long gone will be
remembered for his contribution to talk radio. I think the show should go
on, there is someone out there whom can fill Art's shoes, I just don't
believe this to be Noory. Perhaps with a little more experience he can pull
it off, but as of right now, he just doesn't have it. The voice....it needs
to be deeper, that was one of Art's best assests.

You bet, just ask the folks who bought his codswallop about Y2k and
don't forget Heaven's Gate.

Actually, I think he makes it deeper by electronic enhancement.

I heard him interviewed once while he was visiting WABC and it was quite tinny
and higher pitched.

Yes, "The Art of Talk" will be on the reading list of every freshman
communications major for years to come...

Neal Donald Walsch would be great on air. Voice, similar to Art's, but nicer.

Sadly, I used to be a fan. I found recovery, through this newsgroup.

The book is probably the poorest written I have ever read and it
aided me in see what Bell was really all about.

You know, it might be good for a chuckle. Every now and then I try to
write a short story and end up trashing it because I don't think it
good enough. Perhaps his first attempt at literacy will inspire me to
keep trying.

Which is especially dangerous, when your foot is in your mouth.

Bell had to use a ghost writer, and it was STILL bad. Says a lot about

I don't think the people that call in are regular listeners. I think
they are just channel surfing, hear the rants of his fake guests, and
call in when they hear the phone number. Many of them call back when
they realize they've been had and are none too nice.

I think it's radio at it's best.
