 > Although, I recall that J.B. did dabble in radio station ownership, before
his prison sentence.
 > Wasn't one of his stations WEBB in Baltimore, back when it was a
daytimer on 1360?   I remember the FCC "throwing the book" at him for
numerous technical rule violations.   Who knows the details?

I believe WEBB was one of his, as was WRDW-AM in his hometown of Augusta,
GA.

The funniest JB story was the time his crazy wife was arrested for a traffic
violation and claimed "diplomatic immunity."  She explained to the officer
that she was married to the Worldwide Ambassador of Soul.
