A Greaseman Mystery Surfaces In DC

Doug "Greaseman" Tracht

According to DCRTV.COM, there was a rumor this afternoon in WASHINGTON, D.C. that the legendary DOUG "GREASEMAN" TRACHT was dead. He recently returned to weekends at CLEAR CHANNEL Alternative WWDC (DC101). No one from the station would confirm or deny the fate of THE GREASEMAN.

There is a "THE GREASEMAN Remembered" video 1950-2008 posted on youtube.com, and the unofficial GREASEMAN site alludes to his passing as well.

DC101 MD/afternooner ROCHE went on-air with the rumor this afternoon. He told ALL ACCESS, "Details are sketchy at best ... all we know is the video and we haven't been able to contact GREASE -- and he's VERY prompt on returning calls and e-mails (always within the hour). I'll be relieved (and pissed) if he's doing a bit."

Could THE GREASEMAN show up elsewhere in the C.C./D.C. cluster? Or, is this just a high-profile stunt? ALL ACCESS hopes and prays it is just a GREASEMAN bit. Stay tuned!
