Art Bell's strange universe

UFOs, vampire monkeys, bottomless holes -- no subject is too far out for
talk radio's new star


By Scott Dickensheets
LAS VEGAS SUN

The truth is out there. But probably not with the caller who says her
lover is an alien lizard. Or the Emory University professor who insists
the Hale-Bopp comet is towing an alien object. Or the caller who says
100 million Americans are actually alien life-forms. That number is
clearly too low.

But perhaps some of the insomniacs and late-shift workers who call
talk-radio host Art Bell from their various points on the midnight wacko
spectrum aren't full of it. Perhaps someone out there in the great
American night has seen something or thought something or gotten close
enough to unusual information to be of interest to the 15 million people
who tune in Bell's "Coast to Coast," the most popular overnight radio
show in the land. So he keeps those phone lines open.

If you've suddenly recovered a memory of being kidnapped and probed by
aliens or have a theory on cattle mutilations, well, no one wants to
hear your story more than Bell and his audience. "I'll talk about
anything," he says. Any topic that emits a weird glow in our
pre-millennial gloom, you can tell him all about it on one of the five
toll-free lines leading into the modest Pahrump home where he lives and
broadcasts.

Mel from Washington state, you're on the air!
