Searching for sugar man
very nice documentary... nice songs and
absolutely amazing lyrics ... these movie lines also touch me a lot ...
"you were bigger than Elvis in South Africa"..... "certainly much popular than Rolling Stone"....
Sixto Rodríguez: "what did you mean?".....
"did you believe it's a good album?"
Sixto Rodríguez: "i did my best with it..."
"Were you surprise that the record didn't sell?"
Sixto Rodríguez: "it's music business... so no guarantee"
"you were bigger than Elvis in South Africa"..... "certainly much popular than Rolling Stone"....
Sixto Rodríguez: "what did you mean?".....
"did you believe it's a good album?"
Sixto Rodríguez: "i did my best with it..."
"Were you surprise that the record didn't sell?"
Sixto Rodríguez: "it's music business... so no guarantee"
..absolutely true... the
reality is even you are talented.... sometime life just goes in a different
direction than you expect ..... talents are not always recognized.. that's the
cruel reality... if you were Rodriguez... how would you deal with this
frustration? .... can you truly live a life like him? ....
Sixto Rodríguez's daughter: "he certainly lives a very very modest
life"... "no excess, no glamorous to his life"
"he must be a rich man nowadays!"
Sixto Rodríguez's daughter: "NO" .. "rich in a lot of things..maybe not material things"...
"he must be a rich man nowadays!"
Sixto Rodríguez's daughter: "NO" .. "rich in a lot of things..maybe not material things"...
...can you live a life
like Rodriguez?.... giving up your dream for forty years... and suddenly
..... unexpected / belated fame abroad.. will you be able to remain
unchange?... still lives a modest life.. still serving back the community?
after all... will you be able to stay calm and cool? ... i doubt i can ... to
me.. he is a wise man....
... beautiful lyrics...
"Establishment Blues" Lyrics - By Sixto Rodriguez
The mayor hides the
crime rate
council woman hesitates
Public gets irate but forget the vote date
Weatherman complaining, predicted sun, it's raining
Everyone's protesting, boyfriend keeps suggesting
you're not like all of the rest.
Garbage ain't collected, women ain't protected
Politicians using people, they've been abusing
The mafia's getting bigger, like pollution in the river
And you tell me that this is where it's at.
Woke up this morning with an ache in my head
Splashed on my clothes as I spilled out of bed
Opened the window to listen to the news
But all I heard was the Establishment's Blues.
Gun sales are soaring, housewives find life boring
Divorce the only answer smoking causes cancer
This system's gonna fall soon, to an angry young tune
And that's a concrete cold fact.
The pope digs population, freedom from taxation
Teeny Bops are up tight, drinking at a stoplight
Miniskirt is flirting I can't stop so I'm hurting
Spinster sells her hopeless chest.
Adultery plays the kitchen, bigot cops non-fiction
The little man gets shafted, sons and monies drafted
Living by a time piece, new war in the far east.
Can you pass the Rorschach test?
It's a hassle is an educated guess.
Well, frankly I couldn't care less.
