“One good thing about music, when it hits- you feel no pain.”

“Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.”

“Don’t gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold…”

“When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself.”

“In this bright future you can’t forget your past.”

“Don’t worry about a thing, every little thing is gonna be alright.”

“The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow.”

“Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality . Wake Up and Live!”

ONE LOVE. Rasta! Anyone who knows me well will tell you what a huge Bob Marley fan I am. When I think of the legendary Jamaican singer, I’m reminded of his powerful message of Peace and Love. He would’ve turned 65 today and been raising the roof to a whole new level because let’s face it, the man knew how to parrrrtty!

The lead singer of his own band Bob Marley & The Wailers created the kind of soulful music people enjoy listening and getting down to. Reggae. With renown hits such as “I Shot The Sheriff,” “Is This Love,” “One Love,” “Get Up Stand Up,” “Stir It Up,” “Buffalo Soldier,” “Jammin,” “No Woman No Cry” and the spiritual “Redemption Song,” he was the definition of cool. Listen to any song and it’ll get you going. Feel the vibe and let it all hang out!

Legend is the biggest selling reggae album in history (13.5 million) going platinum. That it came three years following Marley’s death speaks to the true legend he really was and still is today. His music can still be heard at parties and on the radio a la Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, 2Pac and Biggie. They’re all dead but as I’ve said before many times and shall echo again:

LEGENDS NEVER DIE

Sadly, the traditional concert that remembers Marley in his home Jamaica has been canceled for the lamest reason known to mankind. ‘Noise complaints.’ Are they freaking KIDDING?!?!?!?!?! How ridiculous can you get? Today, we honor the Man, Myth and Legend that shall live forever.

HAPPY 65TH BIRTHDAY BOB MARLEY
