Bob Marley

Bob Marley is one of the few musicians who have made a remarkable impact on me. Even though I am an ardent rock fan, especially ardent to the psychedelic scene back in the sixties and the seventies, I find him very inspiring. One of the greatest musicians who have tread this earth, who lived music and died music. He lived by everything he sang. He has virtues that even most preachers wouldn't have. A legend in his own right.

He put up to the man, all his life... All his life. Lived for single handedly for unity and freedom, not fame and popularity, even though the fame and popularity followed him every where.

One frequent statement I share with my friend Tabba'a is, "Buddy, we were born in the wrong place wrong time..." Wish I could just go back in time and see the buffalo soldier perform.

He is dead now, but his legacy lives on. Long live the colours, long live the freedom...

"Won't you help me sing, these songs of freedom, cos' all I ever had is redemption songs... These songs of freedom"
