Remember When

Seen bumper sticker on car today.... Do you follow Jesus this closely?

I don't care if it rains or freezes
as long as I got my plastic Jesus
riding on the dashboard of my car
I could go 100 miler per hour
as long as I got the might power
glued up there with my pair of fuzzy dice

In the summer of 1973, WNBC launched a massive publicity campaign around the Wolfman coming home( he was from Brooklyn) and how they were going to kick Cousin Brucie's ass. He never delivered the rating they wanted and he was fired within a year. NBC decided it was better to hire Cousin Brucie than pay someone twice his salary to lose the ratings war. I think Wolfman wanted to be in Hollywood anyway, so it worked out well for all.

I remember in 1963 drinking beer out of a can where I had to use a church key to open it. 2 years later they were all pull tabs.

I remember sodas like that in the 1970s, steel can with a seam. I think Hoffman's might have been the last to be sold like that.

I seem to remember Wolfman Jack spinning '80's tunes around 1986 from WNBC but I can't find any reference for it. I was 300 miles away, so I only picked it up when driving around late at night. This was around the time Diamond David Lee Roth was going to make the preceding 30 years of rock irrelevant with his showmanship.

They might have been picking up his syndicated show. Around that period, NBC had Imus in the morning, Soupy Sales midday, and Stern in the afternoon. Then Stern left and went to FM and switched to the morning show.
