From The Delaware County (Pa.) Daily Times of Friday, August 23, 1974:

When Peter Wolf clerked in a record shop, he saved his money for a meal at the Stage deli Saturday nights: now that he's head of the J. Geils Group, married to Faye Dunaway, making big money, he doesn't have time to eat there anymore.
