Six Weeks of Weird Halloween Words ~ Week #6 (The End)
Question of the day: Was “Wolfman” Jack a lycanthrope?
LYCANTHROPE or more commonly – WEREWOLF (werʹwoolfʹ): n. Folklore, a person
changed into a wolf, or one capable of assuming the form of a wolf at will;
lycanthrope.**
Hmmmm
… think about it … Robert Weston Smith, businessman, by day … howling,
wild-‘n’-crazy, mysterious radio DJ extraordinaire, Wolfman
Jack, by night. And we wouldn’t
have had it any other way.
Halloween
is simply not complete without a tribute to the most fun and famous “werewolf”
of the 20th century.
If
you missed the thrill of personally experiencing Wolfman Jack’s sometimes salacious, always deliciously irreverent
howl filling your radio’s airwaves, you missed history. Of course, there are taped
airchecks and replays of his vintage shows* still sold in syndication. But there’s nothing
like the real thing, baby.
More
on Wolfman soon, including where you
can hear him again. But first, speaking of the real thing – are werewolves “real”? Owwwwwwoooo …
