Cold Fiction by John Samson
“The whole amazing Rodriguez story has inspired many people in many ways, specially with the film ‘Searching For Sugar Man’ bringing this moving story of this unique musician and his music to a whole new international audience. My good friend John Samson, an ex-South African now living in London, was inspired a few years ago to write a series of short stories that take the evocative lyrics from the ‘Cold Fact’ album as their starting point, and then proceeds to weave a series of sweet, strange, touching, and sometimes weird tales from this emerging writer’s extremely fertile brain. And always looming in the background of these tales is that man in black with the hat and the guitar, sometimes involved sometimes not, but always relevant, just like Rodriguez.” – Stephen “Sugar” Segerman, August 2012
