anyone knows Rodriguez before the documentary? its kind of unbelievable he is famous in South africa, Australia and not here..

Yes, cool story. Quite a character. Great songs too.

Jason,
I've listened to him quite bit since Bob AKA Lord Of The Rings made a post with a utube link several weeks ago. I listen to him on MOG and saw his CD at Borders this past Saturday. Quite an amazing story and some good music. He's touring now.

opps. there's an existing thread about him, can we merge it?

yeah I love the songs too..

I grew up in Cape Town in the 60s and 70s and Rodriguez was massive - just like they say in the documentary, and rightly so....."Cold Fact" was/is an amazing album, have been listening to it forever. I never saw the CT concerts as I had moved to Australia.........but I was in Sydney last week, discovered he was touring and managed to get tickets for his additional Newtown concert.........what a performance.......see him live if you can. Took my son and his girlfriend (30 somethings) and they can't stop talking about him......
