Rock and roll hoochie koo, lawdy mama, light my fuse.

And what makes me happy now has changed as well... Its one thing to play in a bar or at a biker festival, and hear a guy who's been drinking beer all day come up and tell you how good you are. For a long time in your life that will make you happy.

If my musical tastes are continuing to grow up, and I am not really too interested in the music that my kids listen to, then I assume that the audience is doing the same.

I was almost kind of trapped by my own success into only doing rock.

I started The McCoys in 1962, so I'm approaching my 40th year in the entertainment business.

Because I was successful over the years, I never had the opportunity to do the stuff I really wanted.

I know some people will be surprised to hear it, but I've found that my music, whether its blues or rock, or whatever you want to call it, can be channeled into a positive direction that actually helps people.
