Music reviews of The Back Door Wolf
Music Review: Background on "Coon on the Moon"
Rating: 4 Stars
On August 2, 1969, at the Ann Arbor Blues Festival, in an interview with Michael Erlewine, Howlin' Wolf said the following in reference to his new song "Coon on the Moon":
"Some of them said years ago, `We will never make it to the moon.' I said: `You never know.' Today, we settin' on the moon & got a flag up there. You understand? But they told me that we couldn't do that. Don't never say what we can't do.
"Next thing, I'm looking for a man walkin' down the street with no head on his body. And if they say they can't do it, I'm gonna tell `em,
`You're wrong. He gonna come down sooner or later.'
"That's right. He will have no head & be all heart, just one big heart.
Thousands of hippies, hipped up children, with great big heads & tiny hearts, trying to lose that big head & get that big heart. The big head
& the hard heart of rock & roll & psychedelic music has gone as far
as it will go. The heart just has to be developed.
"I'm not a smart man. You see, I got a little head & a big heart. That's all I need. You take people - when they got a big head, they don't make it far. I'm not a smart man. You see, I got a little head & a big heart.

Michael Goldfarb reported this anecdote in a BBC Arts and Ideas radio commentary about the concert Wolf played that night in Ann Arbor:
Howlin' Wolf took the stage on Saturday night [August 2] in the headline slot [actually, he appeared just before closer Muddy Waters--ed]. The weather was fine and warm. The moon, amplified by the humid thick Midwestern summer air, hovered over the great lawn where the crowd sat.
In the middle of an instrumental, Wolf started a riff. Pointing up at the big, bright light, he claimed "I believe in the future! I've got a MAN on the MOON! I've lived to see it...a MAN on the moon."
Then he started his trademark howl....now the Wolf was, for real, howling at the moon.
