Happy Birthday Bob Marley


I have never in my life met a person who claims to hate Bob's music. They don't exist. Once you let his music enter your ears you're done for. The grooves travel down your spine and enter your blood stream, and the next thing you know your white blood cells and red blood cells are harmonizing like the jackson5.

His music also has this innate ability to make us happy. Ask Anna Wintour, the ice queen herself. She once spent a week locked up with Bob in a hotel room doing the do and she claims it was the only happy time in her life.

Today Bob would have turned 64, but cancer took his life nearly 28 years ago. This hasn't stopped his music from traveling all parts of the world. I recall traveling different parts of the world and seeing murals of Bob on the sides of houses, and people fashioning shirts with his face. In memory of Bob we give you "Natural Mystic":


also if you are interested Casey Gane McCalla has a little article on Bob and how Obama is carrying on his message.
