WOLFMAN JACK WRITES: "So much energy rolled off that (XERF, La Frontera) transmitter tower, it vibrated the filaments in the headlights [of the] ... dozen or so banged-up cars and trucks [that] were parked around the station ... until they lit up." "The 250,000 watts of power", meant that "any bird that flew too close while the power was on would seize up with a birdie heart attack and fall to the ground."
PRESTON LAUTERBACH WRITES: "The chitlin' circuit story that unfolded through old newpapers, interviews with aged jitterbugs, torn scrapbooks, and city directories crossed unexpected backroads: the numbers racket, hair straighteners, multiple murders, human catastrophe, commercial sex, bootlegging, international scandal, female impersonation, and a real female who could screw a light bulb into herself - and turn it on."
THESE ARE TWO WONDERFULS BOOKS (available in hardcover).
THE WOLFMAN JACK BOOK CAN BE BOUGHT ON THE INTERNET FOR AS LOW AS $1.09!
