Wolfman Jack, I miss him - Post Your Wolfman Memories...
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 02:09 AM by Gilligan
(edit subject line- )
He was a personal friend of mine.... I miss 'da Wolfman... I used to talk to him when I was a little down. I guess I am feelin' a little down tonight - I wanted to call him tonight (do ya know what I mean???) He died in 1995 when He was helping me with a project... We had high hopes for it.

I know that most of you knew him in your own way... Post a little memory for me tonight.

He used to call me, real late, from N. Carolina... He would always make me laugh... He was one of the most generous and kindest people i have ever known.. R.I.P. Bob Weston... A.K.A. The Wolfman

1. I remember listening to him late at night.
I loved the music he played, and I loved listening to him.

That's awesome that you knew him.

4. Bless you!
He was an amazing guy. He had his faults but he was never mean or cheap... That goes a long way.

5. I used to tape him
XERB 1090 — in "Los Angeles." Yeah, right. :)

"We got fifty thousand watts clear channel, baby! We cover da WORLD!"


"I have a collect call for Mr. Wolfman Jack."

"What's that, operator? Your name is Colette Call?"


"Are ya playin' wit' yer boogaloo?"


"WIZZ! WIZZ! WIZZ!"


I still have the tape. :D

9. Since 1970, that tape's had written on it, in red Flair:
"SAVE!!! DO NOT ERASE!!!"

That "Colette Call" bit was from a guy who said his boogaloo got run over by a tractor. :rofl:

"His WHAT?!? His WHAT got WHAT?!?"

Operator: "Uh... his bugaloo." (You could hear her blushing.)


I've also seen "American Graffiti" about 40 times. Each time, when Curt looks back through the window as he's leaving the radio station and discovers that really was the Wolfman, I get a little misty.

Hey, if you contribute a couple bucks to www.reelradio.com, you can hear some of his old stuff, and tons more.

8. I did after you posted the link
He was such a cool and nice person. A humanitarian.

I saw him give a bum, who was bugging the shit out of everyone on the street, a $20 bill. He hugged the guy and said... "Brother, I could have been where you are right now, Peace." He was always doing this stuff...
