Peter Wolf Writes a Book

[TheBigA]

Before he became lead singer in the J. Geils Band, Peter Wolf was the all-night DJ at WBCN. As he approaches his 80th birthday, he's written a book:

From the origins of WBCN to the heights of the J. Geils Band, Peter Wolf has a lot of stories to tell - The Boston Globe

Before he was the rambunctious frontman for the J. Geils Band, Peter Wolf was one of the first disc jockeys on WBCN.

Mr. Wolf’s musical life blossomed in Boston, where he hosted a late-night radio show (DJ name: Woofa Goofa) and fronted a band called the Hallucinations. He chilled, and guzzled, with the prodigiously temperamental Van Morrison, and befriended the blues legends Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf. In 1967 he joined the J. Geils Band, which opened for the Rolling Stones, B.B. King, Janis Joplin and Black Sabbath before becoming a headline act.

This was at a time when the line between music and radio disappeared, and radio became a window into music and a lifestyle.
