That was a fantastic story. If you haven't seen the film, you owe it to yourself to watch it.

The documentary is great and so is Rodriguez’s music. I bought his two album releases after I watched the film. It’s so cool that he was one of Dave Matthews idols.

too late - the spoilers are out, but damned what great fun that was to watch.

that scene where the daughter gets to see her dad - a meek kinda guy - take the stage and master the crowd it like a badass was so cool. She never knew he dad had that within himself.

And I recall in spring
The perfume that the air would bring
To the indolent town
Where the barkers call the moon down

yup, great doc and LP. RIP.

What I most remember about the documentary was a quote that went something like "He was the soundtrack of our lives".

What a life. RIP, Sixto!

What a fantastic film. Although I was surprised that he had already been rediscovered and toured Australia, which the documentary deliberately fails to mention.
