Comment:

From the top of the tallest antenna, radiating out with thousands upon thousands of watts of power, the nighttime ([i]always[/i] nighttime) request and dedication shows were a weekly staple of AM radio along the U.S.-Mexico border. It might have been Art Laboe on KPOP or KRLA, or Bob Smith (aka Wolfman Jack) on XERB or XPRS, or one of dozens of their imitators "spinning the platters that matter from the chart of your heart." But these were the tunes that cemented the precious love shared by the likes of Tina, Tony, Chuy, Carmen, and a hundred others into our American graffiti.
