Bob Marley Said: "Forget your worries, and dance"

Last weekend I went to "The Yard" on Upper St. Mary's Street for a celebration of the life of Bob Marley. The location was good, parking was no problem, and since we are apparently living in a police state, the cut off time was 2 a.m. (what's up with that? Mr Commissioner?)

The crowd was small, and as usual everyone found a wall and kinda tried to prop it up ^_^, but at about 1 o'clock, the deejay started to spin some seriously good tunes, and everybody started to skank, or rockaway, or grind, or throw the requisite finger in the air and sing along. Even in the smallest of places, music can transport you to a higher plane.

That music stayed in my head all weekend... and I gave several impromptu concerts to innocent bystanders on Saturday. HAHA. When all is said and done, the music lives on.

Forget your worries- and dance- today!

Entertainer and Reggae Icon Robert Nestor Marley died 30 years ago today.

His album Legend is still the biggest selling reggae album of all time. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is renoun as one  of the most beloved artists of all time.

Since his death on May 11th 1981, Bob Marley's legacy has grown with not only continued sales of his albums, but new music influenced by the quality work of him and others in his generation. Today, the Marley progeny are making their own mark on the music industry proving as their father said "one good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain".

"Live for yourself and you live in vain

Live for others, and you live again"

"some people feel the rain, others just get wet" 

Bob Marley said

 

 

"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She's loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect, you aren't either & the two of you may never be perfect together. But if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking of you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she know's you can break: her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there."
