4. Nature always seeks a balance |
|
It took the uber cool of Marley to counteract the uber neocon greed of Reagan.

I'm not fond of either.
I must be ugly and tone deaf... I share a birthday with Isabella Roselini and Paul McCartney! LOL!

9. Ya mon. I and I still cry. |

I saw Bob Marley live in concert FOUR times. Don't know why he showed up in Minnesota so many times, but I always made sure I was there. I was totally in love with him and his music.
I don't remember how I ever heard about him in the first place, back in those days. But I turned lots of my friends onto him -- hauling more and more of them along with me to each of his concerts. Always they were blown away and really glad I insisted.
I used to have every one of his albums on vinyl -- but that was long ago, and I moved so many times cross country that eventually a box or two of stuff got lost or left behind.
I turned my kids onto Marley and they dug him, too. But the utterly transcendent experience of seeing him live... There's no way to ever reproduce that.
So sad, so sad. Another beautiful soul taken from us way too young.

12. I would never have fallen in love with reggae, and then ska and world music |
|
if not for that man.
For that I am very grateful. I hope he is still playing music somewhere up in the ether....
