message: 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)
thread_title:  Midnight Special 

message: 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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharkey377 (talk • contribs) 05:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The sketch comedy troop, "The Upright Citizens Brigade" included several references to Wolfman Jack in an episode of their television show (Comedy Central), circa 1999. I can't find the episode number. Anyone interested enough to dig up this information? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.90.229.129 (talk) 21:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Besides the fact that the following is in the first-person, I don't think this text belongs in an encyclopedia.
Wolfman Jack moved to Orlando, Florida in the mid 90's. On Interstate 4 and Hiway 192, Wolfman Jack  purchased a club called, LITTLE DARLIN'S.  He soon changed the name of the club to
Wolfman Jack's.  One night, Wolfman Jack walked across the street at the karaoke club called J.J. O'ROURKES, I was offered  a job, working for him.  I hosted the first show in this beautiful 650 seat restaurant/nightclub.
Acts performing such as Johnny Thunder, Sha Na Na, Frankie Ford, The Coasters and various other 50's and 60's artists packed the house every night. The evening prior to his death, I was the last person to have a cocktail with the legendary disc jockey, in his own nightclub.  How soon we forget of the good times that one has, with a great talent as Wolfman Jack.
Any body know where this passage came from?

message: It is common knowledge, particularly among those of us who were fans of the Wolfman and alive during his reign, that he pretended to be African-American and tricked many of us for years. There was a big blow-out about it when the truth came out that he was a full-blooded Caucasian Jewish guy. Even in the movie American Grafitti, Wolfman was identified as a black DJ who couldn't get work because of his race (just watch the movie should you have doubts), yet this isn't even mentioned here. Seems like the article is white-washed if you ask me.12.25.109.98 (talk) 13:53, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, no they shouldn't be included. Wiki isn't a page based on objective opinion, it is based on fact and "what listeners 'thought, wanted, feared' about his race" if untrue is irrelevant to the encyclopaedic nature of wiki and would probably make every article on here triple in size if we were to include lay opinion.Glaaaastonbury88 (talk) 06:45, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

message: In the 1990s Wolfman Jack was a DJ on the Santa Fe station KBOM 106.7.  He was friends with another Santa Fe DJ, "Breakfast Brad" and that's how he ended up on the local station.  His show ran for about one year I think.  Does any one know more about this show he did? The radio station is defunct now. JoeD80 (talk) 02:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
