Here I am in April 2010 in Sydney listening to him at the Basement still singing all the songs we obviously loved back in the day. I just hope all you guys writing below my comments have had your opportunity since you wrote on here back in 2007. He was so bloody good I cant even explain the emotions I went through. Thank God someone found him after all these years.

@dq50 luck bugger

[staradrael]

When was this tour even advertised???? grrrrrr

[negetivekreep]

He was'nt a "working stiff" but rather became a social worker, and served his local community for several years. If you pay attention to his lyrics it actually makes more sence than becoming a rich rock star.

[Dibrini]

To think this guy was just a working stiff back in Detroit till his kid found out he was a legend thousands of miles away.

[dannypinn]

I was surprised with the low-key nature of hiss appearance. He only played at the Factory when he was in Sydney. It's a great venue, but I thought he would have went for something bigger. I considered it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You never know though...

:)

[sandroski64]

Is there a site you can get put on a mailing list to keep tabs on any future tours? Missing him in 2007 is already eating away at me but the thought of missing another one will tip me over the edge....and stop rubbing it in that you considered it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity :) I want the status of 2007 show to change to a twice-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Cheers..

[dannypinn]

Ha ha! Yeah, that was a bit slack of me wasn't it. I'll change it to "the-first-of-several-opportun­ities-of-a-lifetime".

I know his daughter had a site going which allowed fans to contact her. I'll try and track it down again.

[sandroski64]

dannypinn,

that would be very much appreciated if you can.

Cheers.

[erk13z]

His daughter's name is Regan, She is friends with a good friend of mine. I'll find out what I can for you.

[dannypinn]

Please do. That would be great!!!

[sandroski64]

Man I only live an hour away from Sydney and would have given my right arm to see him, just didn't imagine in my wildest that he would ever be here in Oz.

I will forever keep my eyes and ears peeled for any news of another visit to our shores.

He is the master lyricist...would like to know if there are any film clips for Sandrevan Lullaby (Lifestyles) Arguably some of the best lyrics ever written. A must read for anybody who ponders the inequities, paradoxes and shame of modern life.

[lillythepink2u]

couldn't have a record collection without "Cold Fact"...this has been flogged at my place over the years...one of the great songs of all time!!

[scammersmustdie]

I bow down in the presence of awesomeness - He will rock for all time!!!!!

[peterj2000]

this guy is just super cool love the music they can,t make songs like theses any more top stuff

[andylinn]

he is from detroit and still lives in detroit. his original album Cold Fact is brilliant.

[andylinn]

i think he's awesome. If you want to meet him, come to detroit. he just chills around here. he is at a local hippie street fair, the 4th street fair, every year...  just walking around boozin' with his family...

[dannypinn]

My relatives from Perth were with me at this show too. I have the entire thing, just have to put it together and get it on here!!

[inxsiveone]

Finally I found Rodriguez again after over 30 years. I remeber listening to the Cold Fact album in the 70's, a lost talent! I WONDER!

[jimized]

Man I cant beleive Rodriguez was in Australia and I didnt see him!! Why didnt he come to WA?? My coldFact cd hasnt left my car in years...love it

[guitardude1050]

fuck cds i have the vinyl and at his best.

[Yellowcatz]

thanx for posting, wish i was there!

[dannypinn]

Thanks for the comment Yellowcatz. It was well worth the long, long wait for him to finally arrive (25 years I think). I was lucky enough to talk to him and he was a pleasure.

[Shazprice]

Thank you for sharing this - Brillant!
