Quotation of the Day for April 10, 2013"'I like people who can write and sing, and play an instrument,' he says. He really doesn't rate his own talents that highly, however, even though his album "Cold Fact" circa 1970, is said to be the most underrated album in rock and roll history. "'I have a sloppy style of playing guitar. A percussive style. Unique in fact.' Then he raises his left hand to show me why. Half his middle finger is missing. 'I lost it in an industrial accident when I was 21 and within two weeks I was playing again,' he says, adding, as he often does, another favourite aphorism: 'He conquers who conquers himself.'" - Sixto Rodriguez, the 'Latin Bob Dylan', who is back in the spotlight after 40 years in the wilderness because of the award winning documentary "Searching for Sugarman".
