■ 𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗭: «𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗔𝗚𝗘: 𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗢𝗥 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗» - 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁: Rodrìguez, how old are you? - 𝗥𝗼𝗱𝗿𝗶̀𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘇: You know,‘There’s only one age: alive or dead.’ - 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁: Many of the songs on Cold Fact and Coming From Reality deal explicitly with life in Detroit during the late 1960s and early ’70s. What was Detroit like during the time he was writing those songs? - 𝗥𝗼𝗱𝗿𝗶̀𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘇: The troubles in the city, the riots in Detroit, in ’67, those were the things, Let’s see, we had the Vietnam War, which is the backdrop, the students were burning their draft cards resisting the draft, that kind of thing. We had conscription. The students were moving to Canada, stuff like that. The protests were going on. All these things were happening. Detroit is an industrial city, post-industrial, they were in the thick of it. If you remember the slogans of that time, ‘If it’s good for General Motors, it’s good for the country’. “I remember, in 1964, three students went down south to help a vote of registration and they were killed in Mississippi. One of them was James Chaney and there was two more, I believe. There was another lady called Viola Liuzzo. She was a Detroit lady, a white lady from the suburbs, and she went down to help a vote of registration and she was killed in Alabama, in ’65. So Detroit has supplied some of these issues, from the northern cities to down South. They might be obscure people but there certainly were part of the 1970s, ’60s, Civil Rights movement. Civil Rights and women’s rights was championed at that time. So those kinds of things were at least fresh then. The kids were starting to have tie-dye shirts, writing on their T-shirts. Now it’s a big fad. But at that time, T-shirts were generally blank. Martin Luther King walked hands in hands with Walter Reuther, labour, the United Auto Workers, and priest and clergy, of course. But the thing is that labour Detroit has always been for the working people, so that’s what my orientation is.” ■ 𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗡 𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗭 (𝗗𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗘𝗥): «He lives a very Spartan life.” She continued, “I almost want to call it Amish. He once told me there’s three basic needs - food, clothing and shelter. Once you get down to that level, everything else is icing.» - 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁: So what will Sixo do with all his money? - 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝗱𝗿𝗶̀𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘇: Well, he plans on giving it to his daughter and close friends. That’s his philosophy. He takes great pleasure in giving it away, especially to people that supported him when he wasn’t a big commercial success. I do really wish he’d spend some of the money on himself, though.” ■ 𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗭 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟱: «𝗜 ran for mayor twice, for state representative twice and for the city council three times,” Rodriguez confirms. “I describe myself as a musical political. I’m born and bred out of Detroit. Detroit is an interesting place. You’ve got to be from somewhere. I’m going to get back there for the Doctorate and I’m going to file to run for mayor. I can explain. To run for mayor, you need a minimum of 515 signatures of valid voters, up to 1,000, they won’t accept any more than that. So I’m going to file and see what happens. I’m petitioning now through other people, so when I get back there for those few days, I’m going to file for office and see what happens.»

stylish n sensational

But don't you understand, and don't you look about I'm trying to take nothing from you So why should you act so put out For me

...and you want to be held with highest regard it delights you so much if they're trying so hard and you try to conceal your ordinary way with a smile or a shrug, or some stolen cliché

And you measure for wealth by the things you can hold And you measure for love by the sweet things you're told And you live in the past or a dream that you're in And your selfishness is your cardinal sin

Bravo !!! Thank you !!!!
