Just a bit off topic, but a couple of posters mentioned Art's voice. I just listened to a recent show he did, I think the one with Dr. Kaku, and I
was appalled at how bad his voice has become. Perhaps it's only my perception, but it sounds like all those years of smoking have caught up to him.
Rather than the rich and deep tones I remember, he seemed at times to just manage a hoarse croaking.
I gotta say, it broke my heart. As I went through some tough times in my life, I would sit working late at night while Art introduced me to a cast of
wonderful characters that opened my eyes and mind to things I had never even thought before -- people like Bruce Lipton, Rupert Sheldrake, Malachi
Martin, Michio Kaku, Russel Targ, Graham Hancock, Terrance McKenna, and a host of others. Of course there were the losers too, like Ed Dames, Sylvia
Brownm Stan Deyo, Stephen Qualye and a raft of nutbars who used the show to posh their biblical whatevers. Now that I think of it, my total favorite
guest, mostly because he was waaaay out there was David Icke. But he made me realize that there was so much more beyond my little crap piece of
suburbia.
I think of Art as the host of a great coctail party who, every night, gave me a chance to mingle with the coolest and, sometimes unintentionally
funny, guests. I never thought of him as a radio personality, but the the guy who had a place on radio where we could just hang out.
George is a radio talk show host. Nice guy and good at his job. But George and me.. I don't see hanging out at his place. But I'm really concerned
for Art now, he just doesn't sound good, and I really hope it is just my imagination.
(ever notice no matter how carefully you review your post, it's only AFTER you post it you see all the glaring typos?]
