The pirate radio stations of the 1960s are part of British pop folklore, but America had its equivalents broadcasting from the border with Mexico. And its most celebrated star DJ was the near-mythical Wolfman Jack.
Every DJ has their "radio persona" - a larger than life personality created to reach across the ether and plant itself in the imagination of the listening faithful.

The most outrageous - from America's Howard Stern to Britain's Chris Moyles - have come to be known as shock jocks.

WOLFMAN JACK
Born 1938; died 1995
Became cult DJ on XERF 'border' radio - based on Mexican border
Renowned for gravelly voice, anarchic antics
Starred in American Graffiti 1973

The daddy of them all is Wolfman Jack, the most outlandish, most thrilling and most elliptical disc jockey of the American 1960s.

How is this a current event?

I don't have a problem with your posts in general, but can I just ask you not to spam the board?

Your 4 or 5 posts from yesterday are sitting down the page untouched, and today you've added 4 or 5 more.

Thank you.

Jack was the man; he had charisma and a genuine persona, and he wasn't mean-spirited, juvenile, and asinine like Imus, Rush, Leykis, Savage, and Stern.

He was exciting on his late night weekend countdown but let's not forget he was aided by GREAT music.

Not much of that these days, especially in pop and rock.
