And showing just how full of shit F. Scott Fitzgerald was on occasion, here's a guy having a triumphant THIRD act.
Making his American network television debut on the Letterman show last week, it's 70 year old(!) singer/songwriter Rodriguez -- star of that Searching for Sugar Man documentary I bugged you about recently -- with the quite amazing "Crucify Your Mind."
Has a real Forever Changes vibe, now that I think of it.
In any event, if Searching for Sugar Man is playing anywhere remotely near your neighborhood, run, do not walk, to see it; it's very rare that a music film also doubles as a brilliant real life mystery story AND an affirmation of the human spirit.
Wow . . .
ReplyDeleteI just . . .
Wow.
Wow is the word. I hope he has the career he deserves.
ReplyDeleteI not only hear "Forever Changes", but also Dylan and "Lay Lady Lay". An avenue of Pop he didn't, so far as I know, explore.
I'm posting another song on the movie soundtrack tomorrow -- prepare to have your mind blown.
ReplyDeleteThe coolest movie I've seen in a long time, about the coolest dude.
ReplyDeleteIncredible. Really beautiful. Damn.
