sugar man.

So, Ben went to see Searching for Sugar Man and couldn't stop raving about it. Scott and I decided to follow suit for an afternoon break on Sunday, so we stopped into the West End Cinema to see what all the talk is about. Oh man. It is so good! I can't really do justice to it and I am not going to try. You should watch the trailer here and find some time to go see it. It is a quick hour and ten minutes and is just an amazing story about this singer, Rodriguez. He never got any traction in the United States but inspired much of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, sold hundreds of thousands of albums and never knew it. Not to mention, his music and lyrics are quite something, he was bigger than the Beatles in South Africa! Go. See. It!
