90 percent of the post here and everywhere else are screaming how they miss the old Art Bell show. Well.....this is what it was most days.
Makes me think of folks who say they absolutely love Monty Python to bits, but when pinned down it often turns out they've ONLY ever caught the choicest quality assortment of very BEST bits, emptied, steamed, flavored with sesame seeds, whipped into a fondue and garnished with lark's vomit - OR lovingly frosted with glucose. (I forget which.).
OTOH, watch each AND every episode of the original series in order, from beginning to the end in their entirety? Like that'll ever happen - Waving their naughty bits non-stop in your general direction is WAY more likely...
Now, for
something completely different? Maybe what's needed most is a guest booker that has,
amongst their weaponry... a surprising opening line a sharp sword and a ruthless efficiency - Like, say, a mutated mashup of the
Black Knight AND Cardinal Ximinez?
"NOBODY shall expect to pass the Art Bell-Sirius/XM inquisition!"

And they quickly ran away, away /
When Art's guest booker raised its head /
The candidates turned tail and fled /
'Cause should they try to get ahead? /
Then they shall surely die instead /
Else they confess their heresy? /
No more they'll see the light of day /
