Riding With the Radio Guru’s Ghost Frequency
The purple sunset glows like a nebula in the western expanse of the sky. It is 70 miles to Santa Fe and an old episode of Art Bell plays on the stereo, to bring the mystery of the cosmos into our cubist world on wheels. Here the night is a show billions of years in the making where satellites are newcomers on the celestial scene. The galactic night is for lovers who gaze across the millennia at the light of stars that are now cinders in hopes that SETI will intercept a signal from escape crafts on their voyage to our homeworld.

I LOVE it John! Great stuff! And I love Art Bell and George Noory too. CoasttoCoastam is an awesome show to listen to on the radio. My mother introduced me to it. I've kind of gotten away from it, should start listening to it again. Very cool writing and read

I used to look for moving object in the night sky on car rides as a child. Tripple J is what I would listen to. Nice look back on the journey John.

Love your childhood reminiscence, my friend! Sounds like our youths had a commonality.
