loved listening to him in the late 60's and early 70's!

George Lucas genius filmmaking..... deciding to use Wolfman Jack instead of an Allen Freed copy. Allen Freed would have been the logical choice for the time period, but since the DJ voice was central and not the visual, WJ was better.

lived in LA and listened to him on XERB out of Mexico. They're signal was so strong you could listen on the toaster.

As a high schooler in the mid 60's and living in Houston at the time, I could not believe my old used '59 Ford's AM radio was picking up this guy broadcasting out of Mexico. Talk about "High Tech" back then. Wow!!
Rudi
American Graffiti was based on Mel's drive-in diners that were based in the Bay Area where we would cruz from SF to San Jose listening to WJ the whole time!

EricHahnNo1, Yeah, I remember the station that csrried him was from Tijuana?

I used think he was black because of the way he talked and most of his music choices were from black performers.

Gary, Loved Midnight Special as a kid. Snuck downstairs on weekends to watch. I thought Wolfman was the coolest.
