Thank you for your answers. You’ve taken the bait. “Rodriguez”, as he was known, was a Detroit based folk singer who had made two albums that were complete flops in the U.S. However, by circumstances still unknown to this day, his album “Cold Fact” (the album that contains the submission) made it to South Africa and became the anthem of the Anti-Apartheid movement. His music led to widespread social upheaval and was subsequently banned by the government - making him all the more mysterious. However, bootlegged copies continued to be circulated for the next twenty years unbeknownst to Rodriguez, whom was rumored to have died by lighting himself on fire on stage. The documentary “Searching for Sugar Man” covers two South Africans trying to find out the story of Rodriguez. It turns out he was just working construction in Detroit and had absolutely no idea.
So, a song that gets you hyped for a fight? People were throwing Molotov cocktails to this jam. Song you haven’t heard? Even Rodriguez didn’t even know people were listening to it. Why it was submitted? A mellow jam with a dark, violent history is terrifying.
