Todd Williams shared this classic photo of Wolfman Jack in one of his many stops in San Diego. Wolfman was heard at XERB, blastin’ the border from Baja to Bakersfield. When rewatching American Graffiti you can hear one of the classic radio jingles from XERB and of course, that movie brought the best in radio’s soundtrack wrapped around a movie. Todd is a marketing consultant for UniRadio in San Diego!
