MIDNINGHT IN THE DESERT: ART BELL TELLS PREMIERE TO STOP ‘SOMEWHERE IN TIME’
The former king of the night, Art Bell, chose to give up broadcasting Coast to Coast AM on a full time basis years ago. Unbeknownst to many, In October 2010 he did his final show when he did Ghost to Ghost AM from the Philippines .. Since then he has not appeared on the program, even though host George Noory signs off nightly using Art Bell’s name. Also on Saturday nights across radio stations and the internet, older broadcasts of Art Bell are replayed called “Somewhere in Time.”
For now..
Tonight on his Facebook page, Art Bell announced,“I have made a request that Premiere Radio cease Broadcasting the Saturday “Somewhere in Time” shows.”
Art Bell moved back to the United States some time in 2011.. around the same time, he began posting brief messages on Facebook.. His messages have been from posts about boxing matches to some commentary on how he is not involved with Coast to Coast AM.A few months ago, he responded to a question about whether he would appear on the radio program again: He said no.. In the meantime, various large affiliates around the nation have stopped broadcasting Coast to Coast AM in some major markets..George Noory’s direction has taken the show from unpredictable and paranormal to political and conspiratorial..Now the new posting on Facebook has already created a huge online buzz..Comments to Bell’s post range from confusion to sadness, and others are thanking him for trying to completely disassociate himself with the radio program..Rumors persist that he will be back on the air full time..Bell turned 67 this past Sunday. Perhaps a birthday gift to all will be his coming from the shadows of the desert to explain exactly what occurred that led him to begin a complete dissolution with Noory et al.. -

A graduation message resounding throughout the nation
“Across the country no fewer than 3.2 million seniors are graduating about now from more than 37,000 high schools. That’s 37,000 valedictorians … 37,000 class presidents … 92,000 harmonizing altos … 340,000 swaggering jocks … 2,185,967 pairs of Uggs. Even if you’re one in a million, on a planet of 6.8 billion that means there are nearly 7,000 people just like you. You’ve been pampered, cosseted, doted upon, helmeted, bubble wrapped … feted and fawned over and called sweetie pie. You see, if everyone is special, then no one is. If everyone gets a trophy, trophies become meaningless. … We have of late, we Americans, to our detriment, come to love accolades more than genuine achievement. The fulfilling life, the distinctive life, the relevant life is an achievement. to do whatever you do for no reason other than you love it and believe in its importance. The sweetest joys of life, then, come only with the recognition that you’re not special. Because everyone is.”
— David McCullough Jr, a Boston-area high school teacher, addressing a crowd of graduating seniors this week in a “you’re not special” themed graduation speech -
