Welcome to our bell somewhere in time. Tonight featuring Coast to Coast

AM from February 8, 2000. From the High Desert and the Great

American Southwest I did you all good evening and or good morning as the case may be and welcome to another edition of the best in live overnight talk radio.

From the Tahitian and Hawaiian Islands commercially out west eastward to the Caribbean and the

U.S. Virgin Islands south into South America north all the way to the whole.

This is Coast to Coast Day after and I'm Mark Bell. In a moment coming up is going to be Peter Gersten. It looks

like Peter had a really good day at court. We're going to find out all about it what happened in Arizona, but let's

put it this way, it doesn't look like it's going government's way. So we'll have that update in the next hour, Joel Ross-Chile.

Joel, uh, he is perhaps the longest living AIDS patient in America today.

And he's just written a book called Signals.

And you know what it's about?

I guess a friend of his had AIDS as well.

And they made a pact that the first one to die would try to get a signal to the other.

And he's written a book called Signals.

I've got a whole lot of stuff I need to get on the air tonight so I'll just sort of do the best I can but I want to get this whole Arizona thing covered what's going on down in Arizona because it is very very important.

But first I've got a sad note that I've got to get on the air.

You may have been seeing on CNN if you've been watching the late news.

The news on the two small planes that collided in Chicago with one of those planes landing on a hospital room. planes had industry, Bob Collins, who had been hosting the morning program for my competitor in Chicago,

WGM, was in one of those planes. He is dead. And there just have been too many lately.

But Bob Collins, known to Chicago audiences since 1974, dead in a plane crash.

We'll get more of that next hour.

Or I'll hit on it again because actually that's when Chicago I think joins.
