...I remember a call in show that he hosted in LA. One female valled in and Wolfman asked: "Do you love (or like, I don't remember) me?" She said "NO!" and immediately hung up. There was about two or three seconds of dead air before Wolfman had an answer for that one. BTW, his station out of LA didn't come in too well at NAS Lemoore so I didn't hear him too often; but what I heard, I liked.

Later Gator,
Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll.The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Wikipedia sez he died in 1995.
all the best,

I'll bet many, many of his old radio shows are still on LP and tape. I remember laying hands on a set of those old tapes back in the 70s after a local radio station threw them out in the dumpster. They were remarkably good quality audio - in half track, too.Wish I could remember what happened to them.....it was the 70s, you know....
I'll bet that's what they're rebroadcasting in XM. Kinda brings new meaning to recycling, doesn't it?
Cheers,
I heard XM say "digitally remastered" broadcasts in the promo. The Wolfman digitized, the mind reels.
Wolfman Jack, on the Mighty 1090, was every r-n-b hipster's rite of passage back in da day! Robert Wagner, playing Al Mundy on A.B.C.'s "It Takes A Thief", once boasted his safe-cracking ear-piece was so sensitive that it could pick up Wolfman Jack! A few years back XPRS 1090 converted from Hispanic fare to sports programming! They're flagship station for National League's San Diego Padres & National Hockey League's Anaheim Mighty Ducks! What a bringdown that XPRS' current over-night programming consists of inane-n-inept Fox Sports Radio feed!!!
