Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta:
There was a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America,
Stolen from Africa, brought to America,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
I agree. I don’t think I would have believed in his politics or ideals had I been an adult before he died but, then again, understanding Jamaican politics is practically impossible for an outsider. Great music, beautiful country, but a self-serving government that keeps the people dirt poor. A very large part of the population is a bunch of grifters trying to separate you from your money because of this. I’ve been twice and I have no desire to ever set foot there again. I always felt like there was something about to go down.
No Woman, No Cry; Jammin’; and Every Little Thing is Gonna Be Alright were 3 of his best and I can listen to them over and over.
You mean “Three Little Birds”, sock. The live version of “Redemption Song” on Legend is one of my all time favorites…good, slow groove with a great message.
My respect and love for this man, He and I have an understanding about life and people. If we could just get our minds out of this repetitious loop that we are in and focus our efforts towards each other and increasing love and the progression of our minds then this world would be completely different. He was definitely enlightened and he understands that everyone can be a god, and be free, not waste your life worshipping one but understand that your actions affect the world and people around you. Now you see the light! So stand up for your right! You live on man, through us and your message, which was the same with Jesus. Screw established religion
Overrated muppet now sumed up by middle-class white kids with Bob Marley posters and T-shirts acting ‘gangsta’because they smoke a bit of weed now and then to ‘escape’from their safe over-priviliged lives.
.While on tour in France in May of 1977, Marley re-injured a right toe during a soccer game. The injury refused to heal and instead quickly worsened — the entire nail came off and doctors recommended amputation. Citing religious beliefs, a limping Marley refused the surgery and gamely continued on tour. Later that summer, Marley finally allowed an orthopedic surgeon to perform a skin graft on the toe, and the procedure was deemed “a success.”
In September of 1980, a weakened Marley almost fainted onstage while performing in New York. The next day, he collapsed while jogging in Central Park. Marley was diagnosed with a brain tumor (a result of the untreated cancer in his toe) and given less than a month to live. Despite the grim news, Marley played one final show in Pittsburgh before being flown to Miami. There doctors verified that the singer had cancer in the brain, lung, and stomach. Eight months later, Marley passed away.
The world should be thankful, when we are blessed with souls like Bob. As one other person commented, just like Jesus Christ was treated the same, misunderstood, the people did not listen to the wisdom they epoused. It is true, that he who has eyes will see, he who has ears will hear. It has been thirty years since Marley came on the world scene, as a musician, with wisdom from God, spreading to the people. Just listen to his words, if you can hear, and look in his living and you will see. Long live me brethren Bob Marley, and his seeds. Jah Bless.
He was introduced to this generation to prove the difference between the right life to live and the false life / devils philosophy…we, indeed, are learning the good from even his absence. much thanks to God for this specimen of a soul.
That guy smoked more than the entire Union Pacific and he still had the cardio to play soccer between shows. That’s just unfair.
Ganja doesn’t mess up your lungs like cigarettes, even when smoked in humongous spliffs such as these.
V cool gallery.

red red wine……..
a special page.
red red wine was UB40…..i dont think marley sang that
Correct! And I could get my Wikipedia on and add that Neil Diamond first recorded it, too.
Thank you!!!!!! I have an entire room in my house that is dedicated to Bob!
Does this room feature special lighting, blacked out windows and an exhaust fan of some sort?
Aparently you’re not a real doctor, or you don’t smoke weed. Or both….
He summed it all up in his last words “Money can’t buy life”
Even if you don’t accept his ideals, you gotta love his style. Bare feet, wayfarers, comfy shirts and honesty.
