30 years ago today, Nesta Robert "Bob" Marley (my boyfriend/husband/shawty in another life) passed away. Some found/find his death to be mysterious and "too convenient."

Whatever the case may be, I still listen to his music on a regular basis. I love all of his songs, even the stuff from the very beginning of his career.

Here are my favorites:

"Stir It Up" (boomchickawowow!!!)

"No Woman No Cry"

What say you, GCers?






(And Marley's fine self made some fine sons. :o)

My FB status today is a shout-out to Bob Marley.

A fun game for procrastination would be to use nothing but Bob Marley lyrics and song titles in normal conversations.

And...go....!!!

Rise up this mornin', smile with the risin sun, three little birds, pitch by my door step...sun is shining, the weather is sweet, make you want to move your dancing feet...

(Maybe? LOL)

THIS! :D

and,

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights.
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight...

...'Cause all I ever had...redemption songs...all I ever had...redemption songs...these songs of freedom...songs of freedom....

:D

*****

And for those who didn't notice, I put "Three Little Birds" with "Sun is Shining."

Dynamic, captivating, charismatic, magical. Just as relevant today as it was then.

ETA: fixed the link, it should work now.

:( That link doesn't show up for me.

^^^thanks, I messed up, you fixed it, appreciate it :-)

:D Awesome link.

Strongly political concert with great performances. I also love to see a fine man dance (who knows how to dance). It does something to me.

I listened to the Rastaman Vibrations album over and over again while working on my senior thesis. The other KDs in the house were probably ready to kill me, but I got an A. Thanks, Bob!

Among all the Bob songs today, here's another song worth a listen:

("Bob Lives On" by Horace Andy)

The original "Turn the Lights Down Low"

Lauryn Hill's remake

Me too.

And I wore out my Rastaman Vibration LP. Literally wore it out. Think I drove my neighbors stark raving mad. "Jah love, Jah love, protect us"; those were some fine moments in my living room, dancing to that.

I...either have a very dirty mind...or....

I see "dancing" at the end of this post...but...I...still...LOL
