Hey Bob Dylan, Hire This Man: Review of Rodriguez' Brooklyn Concert

NEW YORK - Oct. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- South African author and commentator, Alan Brody, covers the Rodriguez concert and comes up with some remarkable conclusions.

The septuagenarian singer who was a 60's unknown in the native US had, unbeknownst to him, become a major star in apartheid South Africa.

After giving up on his music career, Rodriguez lived a modest life, working in manual labor jobs for nearly 30 years until he was "discovered."

The Academy Award-winning movie "Looking for Sugarman" put Rodriguez on the map and his career as an international performer took off.

But who is Rodriguez really and what does his concert stand for?

Does he have a message? Is there anything new he has to say?

Most importantly, was he just another Dylan wannabe - or does he have relevance today.

In a compelling essay that ties Rodriguez and Dylan together, Brody has come up with some startling insights.
