I can't throw in with those conspiracy types. When I lived in California, after Phil Hendrie's show went off, on came Art Bell. Holy shit.
But he was harmless, and it was entertaining (sometimes even a little scary, which I like...a good eerie tale). I have some nice memories of driving out to Joshua Tree late, late at night and listening to the Art Bell show off KFI AM-640 out of L.A. ("More
Stimulating Talk Radio" was their slogan). Nothing quite like being in the middle of the Palm Desert/Yucca Valley/Twentynine Palms at 2-3am, hearing UFO/aliens discussion and stories while looking up at more stars than you've ever seen in your life. But, man...he'd have some real fruit loops on sometimes.
It's those Alex Jones types I can't deal with, and I've known/worked with a few of them over the years. Everything -
everything - is some huge, convoluted "plot". Or everything was a front/facade. Just no talking to these people about anything normal.
