Wolfman Jack saw it coming

With Candy Clark's cute blonde waiting in the car...

...Terry-the-Toad nonchalantly, if not confidently, told the convenience store clerk: "Um, yeah. Lemme have, okay yeah, lemme have a Three Musketeers, and a ballpoint pen, one of those combs there, a pint of Old Harper, a couple of flashlight batteries, and some beef jerky."
 
Re: Scene From American Graffiti

It was Richard Dreyfuss who went to see Wolfman Jack at the radio station. Not Ron Howard. He wanted to ask Wolfman
to give a dedication to that mysterious girl (Suzanne Somers) in the white(1956) Ford Thunderbird. When he first arrived
at the station he (Dreyfuss) did not know, the jock on the air was Wolfman. He pointed to the cart playing. And Dreyfuss
said, "thats the Wolfman, the man is on tape"? On his way out of the station. After talking unknowningly to the Wolfman.
Dreyfuss looks back to see The Wolfman on live. His reaction to hearing the actual dedication on the air, later in the movie
is priceless!
 
Feel free to update Wikipedia as-you-see-fit. Produced at WTOP, and distributed by AP Radio, the interview was part of Bill Thompson's "Eye on Books" series. Wolfman Jack was in-town-to-begin-with as the final (planned) stop on a book tour. As I recall, he also did NPR and The Washington Post while in town...might've also done Larry King Live.

To alter Wikipaedia does not alter the truth, only the perception of the truth you want people to see, thus continuing misinformation. Wolfman Jack was not in town to begin with as the final planned stop on a book tour. He was in town every Friday night at Planet Hollywood. In all due respect, his wife's version is still more accurate than the account you offer by those who "follow" you from market to market.

Editing Wikipedia could RESULT IN the truth.
But we digress...

Print this out and take it to the framer: I don't care any more. I take back everything I wrote on this matter. Control-Alt-Delete. To spare our New England readers further-torturing-of-a-dead-man's-itinerary one-day-14-years-ago several-hundred-miles-away -- and, in the words of a GREAT program director I once worshipped, to "get back to radio" -- I give.

Though many anonymous denizens here seem-to-prefer-the-opposite, I still think radio-info.com can be a collegial exchange...possibly even (dare I?) a FRIENDLY place. POSSIBLY even...CHEERFUL...like the kind of radio we miss Wolfman Jack doing.

Accordingly, in-the-way-that Elaine Benes would offer to dance first, here goes:

PLEASE DO feel free to one-up me by posting your own joke, since we're now SO-far off-topic here.

"Remind me to never start a Wolfman Jack thread again."

What was it that an exasperated Alvie Singer muttered about "...A LARGE SOCK?"

Yeah, that's it.

So, curious gathered lurkers are wondering...
"HC: Why even reply? What're you...some kind of...MASOCHIST?"
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUzRDwErYWM)

"OR, by-replying, you keep this thread up-top, thus exposing links-you've-embedded to more readers? Which is it? Or...could it be...BOTH?"

Hey, ANYTHING that pushes that Tara Granahan tread further south is a good thing.
Admittedly, this-conversation-here has degenerated into off-topic recreational ping-pong.
THAT one, about her, is downright insulting and needlessly hurtful, not just of someone's work, but of her person.

No worries. He had them trying to hitch a ride to fame and importance on his name when he was alive too. He was famous and his name was easily recognized worldwide. He saw it coming and handled it. In due course Wolfman Jack will be discovered.
