Art Bell hosts a Friday night open lines edition that begins with a heartfelt tribute to George Harrison, who passed away the previous day. Art reflects on growing up with the Beatles and how their music shaped his years in rock radio before transitioning to talk. A caller from San Antonio shares the powerful experience of discovering the entire Beatles catalog in a single weekend, while a woman from the Ozarks recounts barbecuing ribs with Harrison in Tulsa during his visit to Carl Radle and the Shelter Records scene.

The program covers a wide range of topics as callers discuss the war in Afghanistan, immigration policy, the ethics of human cloning, and the newly revealed Segway scooter, which Art finds disappointing compared to the hype surrounding it. Several callers debate whether cloned humans would possess souls, and one listener firmly states she would refuse a cloned organ even on her deathbed. A photograph of magician David Blaine apparently levitating on a Las Vegas sidewalk generates heated debate about whether the feat is genuine or an optical illusion.

Art previews a packed upcoming week featuring discussions on Atlantis, the paranormal in Asheville, a near-death experience survivor, and a UFO conversation with Dan Aykroyd. A caller shares a chilling encounter with a Bigfoot-like creature while using the woods as a restroom in rural New Hampshire.
