    If you google “classic art bell” you can find some. I also just found a ton of them last week on YouTube.

    I know that, but there was a website dedicated to streaming his old shows.

    Radio host Art Bell died of accidental drug overdose

    Longtime Pahrump radio personality Art Bell died of an accidental overdose from a cocktail of prescription drugs, the Clark County coroner’s office said Wednesday.

    Bell died April 13 in a bedroom of his Pahrump home at age 72. The coroner’s office determined he had four prescription medications in his system: the opioid oxycodone, the analgesic hydrocodone, diazepam, often marketed as Valium, and carisoprodol, a muscle-relaxant.

    Why does it suck? 72 yrs old, goes old like a rock star, leaves just enough mystery for his conspiracy loving fan boys.

    Not wanting to make light of the situation, but it would definitely explain some of his crackpot theories and political beliefs.

    What sensible Dr would have a patient on all 4 of those drugs at once? Unless Bell was terminally ill, that combo seems Keith Richards level wreckless.

    He was assassinated by aliens disguised as Clinton supporters. I know this because the voices told me, well, the voices and several Qanon patriots.

    Thanks. I sampled 2 shows. Couldn't stand more than 3 minutes of each. Turned them off. He talked so slowly, about nothing.

    Tom Snyder (in the TV slot right after Johnny Carson, replaced by the meaningless David Letterman as soon as Reagan took charge) covered the paranormal much better (as well as radical politics).
