Lots of Oscar buzz around "Searching For Sugar Man". What an incredible story!

Did you see this film? I heard much about it and it is an incredible story. Most people thought he had died long ago which he did not, And now he is in the spotlight again so many year later.

Reminds me of a real life "Eddie and the cruisers" in a way.

It is an excellent documentary, far more complex and interesting than most of the reviews make it out to be. I saw it when it came out here, late summer, and it exceeded my expectations. What's funny is how current, or at least ahead of his time, his music was. For the last year or so a couple of his songs were in rotation on one of the satellite radio stations they play where I work.

It's also great news that he has a new label, and his 2 original records have been re-released. Finally he'll get royalties!

Fascinating story and wonderfully told. Just goes to show how truth can be stranger than fiction.
