"Half the time I feel like I'm appealing to the downer freaks out there. We start to play one downer record after another until I begin to get down myself. Give me something from 1960 or something; let me get up again. The music of today is for downer freaks, and I'm an upper"

About this Quote

Wolfman Jack is expressing his aggravation with the music these days. He seems like he is continuously playing songs that interest the "drag freaks" and also it is making him feel down himself.

He is suggesting that the music of the past was much more uplifting as well as it had the ability to bring people up, rather than bring them down. He is also suggesting that he is an "top" and also not a "downer fanatic", suggesting that he is seeking songs that will make him really feel great.
