This is what life is like

I kept chanting this sentence when I was watching a movie. Yeah, this is what life is like.

Lao Tang built a website to learn about a singer who had never met but had a huge influence on his country. He thought he was dead. Everything is just a rumor. How much does he know about a singer who doesn't even know Lao Mei?
If you say inspirational, old sugar is called inspirational. To say simple and simple things that are difficult and difficult, how many people really work hard to do it? he made it.
The part that Old Sugar received Rodriguez's call in the middle of the night was so amazing, the suspense film suddenly turned into an inspirational one. He knew it was him, and he had heard his voice countless times on records. At that moment tears filled my eyes.
Don't say I'm hypocritical, shouldn't life be like this? Ordinary is the state of the majority, but poverty can be changed. For Lao Tang, pursuing the whereabouts of a favorite singer is just a kind of fun outside of ordinary life. It is the blind seasoning of life-it makes ordinary life not impoverished.

What is Rodriguez's life like?
When I was young, I went to a bar to sell and sing, was dug out of records, fell silent, and went to work on a construction site. The South African legend is more like a run of shit luck. The valuable thing is that this shit didn't knock him out, and he still lives in Detroit as quietly as before. If someone one day points to a retired old worker and tells me, "Hey, you know what, this uncle sold millions of albums in the first South African concert", I don't believe it.
But shouldn't life be like this? You have done some things silently, causal reincarnation, maybe one day you will have an unexpected return, maybe not in your life. Nouveau riche can be a state, but not a state of mind.

There is a scene in the movie. A report reads-
American zero, South African hero. The
picture shows a middle-aged Rodriquez wearing sunglasses and holding a guitar.
Life should be like this, zero represents an ordinary state, but hero is unwilling to be poor.

Searching for Sugar Man quotes

  • Rick Emmerson: He had this kind of magical quality that all the genuine poets and artists have: to elevate things. To get above the mundane, the prosaic. All the bullshit. All the mediocrity that's everywhere. The artist, the artist is the pioneer.

  • Rodriguez: Thanks for keeping me alive!
