I did a search without finding threads about this Oscar winning documentary.
Have you seen it?
For all us wanna-be-rock-stars :o) it's a real treat.
The cherry on the cake was that mr. Rodriguez proved to be such a unique character.
Life really has surprises for some of us here and there!

Yes. Very interesting story. Good movie. It has been mentioned here prior:

No worry though. It doesn't hurt to bring it up again because it does deserve the attention.

This one's been on my Netflix queue for a while but I've not seen it. I'll have to bump it to the top.
 
The aspect that intrigues me is the notion of being successful and not knowing it.
 
Thomas Edison said something to the effect that most failures are people who just didn't realize how close to success they were when they gave up. 
 
I was reading about some past-their-peak band who'd posted a free song download online, and then only by examining the download stats discovering that they were hugely popular in Indonesia. They'd never toured there, so they set up a gig, sold out the house and made the 6:00 news.

BUMP!
 
After Kalle's testimonial I pushed this to the top of my Netflix queue and finally watched it today.
 
I expected it to be good, but I wasn't prepared to be blown away like I was. I won't give a synopsis, because the middle third is a well-told detective story and you'll enjoy it much more if you don't know how it plays out. I'll just say that if you like inspiring music-related documentaries such as "Don't Stop Believin'", The Story of Anvil" and "Heavy Metal in Baghdad", then you've got to add this one to your must-see list as well.
