Thanks to the folks here for reminding me, I rented Searching for Sugar Man tonight. I really mean thanks. Great film.

I had to write to my son after watching it. We have talked many times about making music for the music vs. making music for the money. The subject of this film had character in spades. He listened to his muse, but never heard the cash register ching. He never had any bitterness about not making it big, and he never had any bitterness about making it big halfway around the world and never knowing it. He had money and fame finally staring him in the face, yet he was just happy to connect with the people who loved his music. He did not change his very humble lifestyle. So glad I got to see it.

Regards,

D-Ray

One of the very best movies that we've seen in years & years.
