Congratulations Rodriguez

My honey won tickets to that 'homecoming' show at the Masonic Theater...that was a really magical night.

Finally saw the documentary, my father and his bride bought it to test a BluRay player my sister bought him for Christmas. I am glad I didn't see it in the theater, I got blubbery-messy for a good deal of it.

It was odd to see my cousin's husband in it...he is ever the enigma, couldn't stop giggling over him being called a construction laborer. That might be what he does, but is so much less than what he is. Same with Ferretti...bricklayer.

The whole story of how one man's creation could help bring down such entrenched evil on the other side of the world is so much more amazing than the mere story of how he was screwed out of his royalties and recognition...and hints against the biases in the broadcast industry in this land. Fellow with a Latin name couldn't get airplay here, which certainly influenced the lack of album sales.

Anyone else notice the Moon and Sun imagery dividing the first and second halves of the documentary?! I'm still trying to figure out how they got that one Moon shot north-east over the Bronx Bar.


Cheers,
John
