"Why the hats?"

One thought that crossed my mind concerning that question was that she was trying to imitate a Philadelphia area TV personality in the 50's, 60's, and early 70's, named "Sally Starr" who always wore cowgirl hats.   (See clips of her at youtube listed here, and her bio here.)   However, I was unable to find any kind of Philly link for Friggingwhacko Wilson.

(By the way, any others here from the Philly area back then who remember Sally Starr?)

By the way, any others here from the Philly area back then who remember Sally Starr?

I remember Sally Starr, and have met her a couple of times. Like a lot of cities around the country back in the day, Philly had it's share of great kiddie show hosts: Sally Starr, Gene London, Pixanne, Chief Halftown,Captain Noah, just to name a few. I think Gene London is the only one still alive.
