One of the greatest musicians of all times and one of the founding fathers of what people now know as reggae is Bob Marley. Hi claim to fame is evident in such songs as 'One Love', 'No woman no cry' and 'Turn your lights down low.' His legacy continues to live on in through the music of his son Damian 'Junior Gong' Marley who was awarded two Grammies for his most recent album 'Welcome to Jamrock.'
It seems that Bob Marley has become more famous in death than he ever was in his life.
This comes after there was repeated controversy concerning the remnoval of his remains from jamaica to Ethiopia, the land that many rastafarians believe is 'the promised land.'
More recently, it seems Bob's former music director is suing for royalties that have not been forthcoming since his death. Rumors are that his wife, Rita Marley, may very well be securing what she believes has been a long time coming to her.
Maybe it was because of the promiscuos nature of her late husband or maybe it was because of the fact that he was always in the spotlight and she was stuck in his shadow singing backup.
Whatever the reason, i believe it best that these matters be resolved as soon as possible and parasites stop feeding of the legacy of a dead superstar.
Bob did his part and now it is time for him to rest in peace so please let him.
What do you think?
