yep....I see people who only know Bob Marley music through the album "Legend" and I think to myself how much they are short changing themselves....soooooo much more if one looks deeper than Legend...so much more

One of my favorites. I was so lucky to see him perform in Munich--must have been the fall before he died. Great show (and I had a back stage pass to boot!). Now I feel really old......but his music makes me young again!

"Catch a Fire: the Life Of Bob Marley" is a great biography.

No Woman No Cry by his wife Rita is pretty powerful, albeit not the most flattering for Bob in terms of his personal life

I'm listening to Trenchtown Rock right now.

"One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain."

Lots of music lovers in this site, and I think we can all agree on that statement, no matter what your preference.

I heard Maya Angelou speak last night to a group of middle- and high-schoolers. Those words just came back:


"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
— Maya Angelou

Its funny..I didn't realize today was when Bob died 30 years ago..Out of all my shirts I could have put on today I put on my Bob Marley Soul Rebel t shirt..Haven't worn it probably since last Sept..Went out of my way to find it too..Something pulled me to it..Strange when I think about it.

I can't "rank" any of his classics. Too many. Too good. 30 years?!? Where's the time go?

Ziggy has done lots of good music, too. I think he had his father in mind, too, when he did this one.
