Art Bell died at the age of 72 on Friday April 13, 2018.  

Not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.

During some years of debilitating illness I’d fall asleep with the radio on and his show would come on hours later and creep me out as I woke up

Mr. Bell helped me through many late night shifts in the 90's - 2000's. Be so engrossed listening, then realize I wasn't paying attention to my job.

 

Nobody ever got hurt.

 

R.I.P. Art.

Yeah, me too!  I was usually long gone by midnight but when I did have to stay, I usually listened.  He was entertaining at times but a lot of hiss shows were just too far out to bother with.

Just like most of the sports call in shows, it's the callers (Clem from Arkansas) that make or break the program.  I guess that holds true on internet discussion boards, too.

Obviously you liked him since your screen name is "If Art, a lot".  This also implies that you didn't often listen to his guest hosts.  Some of them were pretty good though.

Or perhaps it was Friday the 13th related...

Actually, shockingly I'm sure, I don't have a lot of experience with Bell. He was before my time a bit, I rarely listen to Coast to Coast but when I did it was post-Bell. I've heard some of his greatest hits on YouTube and such, but that's about it. 

 

I respect his hustle though, and contribution to the entertainment world.
