Book Description
“Sixto Diaz Rodriguez’s Philosophy: Rodriguez’s eBook Guide to Happiness” is about the man, the legend, and the genius who was not aware of his Rock and Roll fame in other parts of the world. It is about Jesus Rodriguez. Sixto Diaz Rodriguez or Rodriguez, the folk musician from Detroit, Michigan who has been given a rebirth thanks to the efforts of two South Africans who launched a search party to find out what happened to their favorite singer and song-writer. Rodriguez, as he prefers to be called now, produced two albums, Cold Fact and Coming From Reality, respectively in 1971 and 1972. They received rave reviews, but they did not sell enough copies. Bootleggers managed to take copies to South Africa and Australia where Rodriguez has had a huge following. He did not know about his popularity on those shores. He was busy demolishing and remodeling homes in the United States to make a living. Music was not paying his bills. The release of this movie/documentary “Searching for Sugar Man” was going to change things. As they say, the rest is just history. This ebook also invites you to hope that besides touring all over the world and showing the movie, Rodriguez will have enough time to work on some new material. He has overcome the oppression of the music industry only to become triumphant as the icon, folk singer, rock and roller, and prophet he is.
