I love radio, or at least what radio USED to be like. I was lucky enough to be a youngster living in the New York City area when Wolfman had his show on WNBC-AM in the early 70s, and I guess if you're a Gen Xer you probably saw him every once in a while on 'The Midnight Special' Friday nights on NBC television. I was always a fan of his and loved the scene with him in 'American Grafitti'. My parents took me to see that movie when it came out in '73. Made a big impression. Any of you Cali people hear him in his border blaster days on XERB or later on when he was on KDAY? That's more of the baby-boomer generation but I know we got a couple of you guys on here. Anyway, great book! I highly recomend. Wolfman was amazing. Can't believe he's been gone over 10 years already.
