I’m so glad we were able to watch Rodriguez get this well deserved honorary degree, and very happy for him.
Amazing, sigo sorprendido por tan maravillosa historia, y por el talento único y original de Rodriguez, a mucha honra con raíces mexicanas, y desde ahora me declaro un fan mas. felicidades, y gracias a quienes hicieron posible, el re descubrimiento de este gran poeta.
Great to see Rodriguez being being honoured by his alma mater in his home city.
His inspirational and beautiful poetry, music, dignity and humble soul have certainly earned him this wonderful honor…how great that he is being recognized!
Forget the Honorary Doctorate, Rodriguez for President!
Well done my man. You richly deserve this honour.
Congratulations,my darling Rodriques. You taught me it is ok to be poor,to be humble,to work hard and to never give up. I have loved you since I was eighteen.xxx
