Well, I just wasted an hour listening to Warren Bones non-comittal responses on Art Bell. A lot of "Well maybe", "I am not sure" When asked for an overview of Y2K he stumbled around and really never said anything of substance.

Well I guess that gives me an extra hour of sleep. His article certainly didn't beat around the bush on Y2K.

Yes, a pretty pathetic interview. It is amazing that host Whitley Strieber ("sitting in for Art Bell") says Y2K is No Big Deal (at least until tonight), and yet he expects the public to accept recurrent alien abductions and alien implants...

Ah yes, Art Bell, the insomniac's friend. If 0.001 x of the crazy things talked about on that show are true, then we live in one hell of a crazy universe. Even this estimate I doubt, but in the hynogogic state I'm a bit more gullible and his material becomes the inspiration of wild, imaginative dreams.

He's probably one of the best showmen alive today, and I'm not exaggerating. Let's not forget what's he's about. Entertainment, pure and simple. He milks his guests and his nutty callers 110%. As someone just said, though, there are too many commercials and occasionally he gets a real flatliner of a guest for interview. For example, alien retroengineer Bob Lazar sounded rather, uh, stoned.

But the moments with Father Malachi Martin--true classics for the anals of radioland.
