Bob Marley died on this day 38 years ago

[malaise]

I remember the moment we heard that he was dead as if it were yesterday - time sure flies

For mothers and women everywhere

1. I am so old!

It just doesn't seem that long ago...

[malaise]

4. John Lennon and Bob

those two hurt real bad - both seem like yesterday.

[MineralMan]

8. They do.

Of course, I still mourn The Big Bopper, too.

[Lochloosa]

9. Jerry Garcia hurt for me. He felt like that big fun loving uncle.

[malaise]

10. A lot of them hurt but Lennon and Marley died five months apart

and I adored both of them

wrap

3. Yesterday when I was a sub teacher of 4&5th graders I told them if they didn't stay quiet I'd

Start singing to them. They dared me and I sang part of “ get up stand up” to them. To my astonishment they sang part of the song with me and a couple of kids said, “that’s a Bob Markey song”. One of the kids was named Marley and he winked at me !

To this day I can play my Bob Marley Cd and end of listening to the whole thing. Great music for long car trips!

[malaise]

5. Wow - that's amazing

I've heard Marley in places where I didn't even know they knew his name.

[malaise]

16. Given the madness re these RW lunatics and our bodies

I thought it was a good selection - No Woman no cry...instead...Get up, Stand up!!

[pangaia]

20. I agree 100%...

17. Redemption Song - live in Dortmund, Germany, 1980

[malaise]

19. Bob was visibly sick at that time

He was being treated in Germany

[Haggis for Breakfast]

28. Thank you !!

This is my favorite B M song. Even Stevie (Wonder) covered it.

So beautiful. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

[MasonDreams]

18. Emancipate yourself from mental slavery

Only you can emancipate. It is liberating just to type those words again. Thanks Bob

[patphil]

A day the music died.

33. Ajax (of Amsterdam) football fans were singing this

on Wednesday at their UEFA semi-final game against Tottenham Hotspurs. Little did they know what was to come in the second half.

[kwassa]

24. One of the most influential musicians of the modern era.

A great performer, a great songwriter, who put reggae on the world map, with many classic songs still played every where.


Is this love?

[ProfessorGAC]

36. Yeah, Think About It

He impacted the scene to the point that even Led Zeppelin even dabbled in the style.
And absent Bob, The Police would not likely have had the enormous success they had!

[Mendocino]

25. Stir It Up

I asked her if she met him "passing through" LOL.
She's a big fan.

[JoeOtterbein]

27. One of my favorites ever and so cool to see so many other of my favorites ever!

Now, I'm going to go play and sing Redemption Song to make myself feel better!

Thanks for posting malaise!

[FakeNoose]

30. It seems Bob Marley is more famous now than when he was still living

Is that crazy? His music lives on, along with our memories of this awesome artist.

[malaise]

40. Funny thing - many of our own local hypocrites jumped on the wagon

very late - after Time named Exodus album of the century.

The Marley cognoscenti have always disagreed with the choice - Survival is our favorite album but our hypocrites always seek validation from outside.
