Sixto Diaz Rodriguez toiled for decades as a day laborer in Detroit's gritty Cass Corridor. To this day, he rides the D-Dot bus to get around town. Just last week, Entertainment Weekly declared him a genius. Four decades ago, Rodriguez recorded 12 sweet, yet dark, psychedelic-tinged folk-rock songs for the album, "Cold Fact," in a Detroit basement.
