minus-squarebeeng@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 year agoDid he get fucked or just didn’t take off in the states initially? Much of success is about luck, just because you’re good and work hard doesn’t ever mean youll “make it”. Lucky of the bootleg copies, otherwise many of us probably wouldnt have got to hear him. Great artist!
minus-squareMongostein@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoNo, he got right fucked. I’ll second the documentary *Searching for the Sugarman.” It’s really good and I don’t want to spoil too much if you want to watch it, but I could give you the Cliff notes if you want.
