Every Saturday, from 8 AM to noon, classic rock fans in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area can tune in to Lone Star 92.5 to listen to the John Clay Wolfe Show, which focuses on “talk about cars, sports, and sex drugs rock & roll… just about anything as long as it won’t get us fined by the FCC.” On the most recent show, though, the host and his colorful crew devoted some time to something much more serious: relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Harvey.
