If you’re looking for a theme, do stop looking as there are only loose connections between the songs. I had the hardest time finding music which I liked for today . These four were fall-back choices.

Sugar Man: Rodriguez

May 31, 2013

Last night I was channel surfing hoping to find something worth my time. I ran into Searching for Sugar Man. Though it was late, I decided to watch a bit to decide if I wanted to DVR the film; instead, I was hooked and watched until the end at 1:15. The film is a documentary and winner of many awards including an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. It is the story of two Cape Town South African musicians and fans trying to find Rodriguez. They had heard he was dead and had died because of either an overdose, shooting himself on stage or lighting himself on fire also on stage. They wanted to find the truth as Rodriguez was amazingly popular in South Africa because of his album Cold Fact, originally released in 1970 and released in South Africa in 1991, and a second album, At His Best, which had gone platinum in South Africa. I’ll not give you the whole movie’s summary, but I do suggest you watch if you get the chance. I also suggest you learn more about Rodriguez, an unassuming, talented man. Both these songs are from Cold Fact.
