AMARILLO,
Texas -- Popular disc jockey and television personality Wolfman Jack was
in Amarillo the day his good friend and former Beatle John Lennon was slain.
According to a story in the Dec. 9, 1980, Amarillo Globe-Times, Wolfman
Jack was making a personal appearance at the Cowboy Club in Amarillo where
he was scheduled to play music from the 1950s and '60s. When reporters
arrived at the club to get his reaction about the killing, they were told
he had left to "drive around the block to clear his head." When Wolfman
Jack returned, tears trickled from his eyes. "I talked to him eight days
ago," Wolfman Jack said. "He finally had it all
together . . . He had pushed away the fear of being John Lennon."
