2013 Oscar winner Searching for Sugar man

Rodriguez is now touring worldwide, books 17,000 seat sold out concerts...Makes Dylan's lyrics seem lame.... Searching For Sugar Man tells the true story of Rodriguez the 70s rock icon who never was. After being discovered in a Detroit bar Rodriguez's sound struck 2 notable producers and they signed a recording deal. But when the album bombed the singer disappeared into obscurity. A bootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa and over the next two decades his music became the anthem of anti apartheid youth..... A rock legend bigger than the Rolling Stones or Elvis....The film follows the story of two South African fans who set out to find out what no ifs ands or buts happened to their hero. Rumored to have committed suicide on stage at a failed concert..... Rodriquez did hard manual labor, demolishing houses up to the day he was re discovered....Flew to South Africa, walked on stage, and wowed thousands of screaming fans......... Rodriguez still lives in a house he bought 40 years ago for $50 from urban renewal...No TV, no car, heats with wood he finds in dumpsters...Gives all his money to friends and family..... Now 70, Rodriguez was recently given an honorary PHD from Wayne state......Appeared at the Montrose Jazz festival, on Letterman, and 60 minutes... must see the woodchuck
