He was great... Without Jack we'd have no Don Imus. 24.13.86.24 11:02, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He was in the Battlestar Galactica movie as well, not just Galactica 1980. He didn't play himself though. I may be able to get a screen cap to prove it. Wierd, it's not listed on imdb.

Year of birth

I'm going to go with the Britannica & Find-a-grave on his year of birth. -- Michael David 12:57, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

His date of birth appears twice - but with two different dates. Was it 21 or 30 January 1939? Metamagician3000 14:24, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

North of the borders

Why doesn't this article acknowledge Wolfman Jack's brief stint on CBC Television? -- Denelson 83 06:40, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Midnight Special

I'm surprised to see no mention of Wolfman Jack on the 1970's music show "The Midnight Special". I'd not heard of him before that show. I'd edit this article but I don't know much more than that. It aired during the 1970s. I believe it was in the NBC timeslot later occupied by Saturday Night Live. --angrykeyboarder (a/k/a:Scott) 11:22, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As a teenager of the 1960’s who came of age in a southern New Mexico town where the local radio stations closed up shop at something like 8:00 pm, the “border blasters” stations of Del Rio, TX with transmitters in Acuna, Mexico and XROK 80, of El Paso, TX with transmitters, in Juarez, Mexico were the only entertainment available to the youngsters of the era.

Reading the Wolfman Jack entry brought back so many fond memories of “Cruzin the main” of Las Cruces, NM listening to the “Wolfman Howl” reading dedications and playing all of the music that the locals would not play.

The “Wolfman” had the ability to talk to each of his listeners as if it were a personal conversation.

AM radio transmission being what they were in the 1960’s left much to be desired with the skip and fading of the signal, however, it seemed to add to the mystic of the “Wolfman”, and his counterpart in El Paso, TX who’s name was Steve Crosno.

I know that for the kids of the era, who resided in rural area of the southwest, the “Wolfman” was a dearly held memory of there childhood.

Death

Can anyone cite a source for this story of Wolfman hugging his wife one last time and dying in her arms? It seems like a rumour and I can't find anything official that supports it. 72.136.163.118 06:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
