#2Thanks for the memories Art. Sleep well my friend.
In the 90's we would spend all night hacking and/or gaming while listening to Coast to Coast AM with Art. It was time to wrap it up after 6 AM when "America in the Morning with Jim Bohannon" came on.

I did the same. I remember spending a week trying to have an out of body experience per instructions from one of his shows. Rest well, Art.

#5In 2000, I spent five months in Boulder, Colorado, as part of my graduate work. I saw no reason to buy a TV, but I did buy an AM/FM radio, and Coast to Coast with Art Bell was all I had hoped for in strange American late night talk radio. Pyramids and faces on Mars, and people calling from phone booths fearing to be abducted by the Greys. Good times.

It was such a wonderful experience discovering Coast to Coast as a kid. Many of the classic episodes are on youtube if anyone wants to check them out, I recommend the New Year's Eve prediction specials.
Of course, the whole conspiracy theory world seems a lot less innocent and fun now than it used to, but the old show is still fun to listen to sometimes.

#7What a sad coincidence - just yesterday I was watching a video about the "Area 51" caller he got on his radio show. Rest in peace.

#8Art Bell was a great interviewer. He entertained a number of guests on his show that he clearly did not believe fully. Instead of calling them crazy or brushing them aside, he drew out what he could. He entered their world and suspended his own and his listeners disbelief as a form of empathy and childlike wonder.
If more people could hold a meaningful conversation with people they think are crazy, like he could, people would understand each other better.

#9In the words of K from Men in Black, "He didn't die. He just went home."
Thanks for keeping me awake on many late drives.

I first came across Art in the mid 90s too. I commuted home in the black of midnight on back roads from Redmond (WA) out into the mountains. A good 40min at least but Art and C2C were there every night, filling my head with tales of wonder and intrigue from the Land of Nye.
Whenever I hear the term "remote sensing" used in a GIS context now, I can't help but think of Art's show where I first learned about "remote viewing"[1]. The latter doesn't seem to have caught-on, I guess scientists don't spend as much time with late-nite paranormal AM radio as the rest of us.
So long Art, thanks for all the memories, and be sure to let us know what you find out there.
