I see the rise of Tejana music as being parallel to the popularity or the rise of Hispanics in this country, economically, politically, culturally. They said the eighties was the decade of the Hispanics, and then they quickly said, "Nope, this is going to go on for a while."

I see that when I go to Tejano shows and I see kids from five, six years old, eight years old, singing the lyrics to these people. Now I go back to '80 and I can't remember a time when they were teens or pre-teens that considered Tejano artists heroes. But now they do. Now they buy their t-shirts, their coffee cups, their caps. That shows me that there's a future for this.
