HOW (OR WHETHER) TWO SOUTH AFRICAN FANS AND AN 86-MINUTE
DOCUMENTARY BROUGHT A '70S FOLK SINGER BACK FROM THE DEAD.
In the '70s, an exotic-looking folk
musician in Detroit, always in
dark sunglasses, was hard at work
writing songs and performing.
Like another exotic-looking folk
musician of the same period named
Bob Dylan, this remarkably talented
young man of Mexican, Native
American and European lineage
wrote lyrics that were powerful and
poetic, and he sang them like no
one else. And as Dylan often did,
he went by only his last name —
Rodriguez.
