More About Bob Marley.

From our vantage point today, it's hard to believe an icon like Bob Marley only lived 36 years, from 1945 to 1981, but his legacy lives on like few popular musicians.

The first reggae superstar, the first Third World superstar, and a songwriter of remarkable depth and grace, Marley's music continues to reverberate throughout popular culture and consciousness over two decades after his death.

What made him so special? What is it about Bob Marley's songs that remain so lasting and relevant? Coming of age with fellow Jamaican "Rude Boys" Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston in early 1960s Kingston, Marley grew up in a tough environment of crushing poverty, aggravated by an oppressive island regime and inescapable class system. Often detailing despair, corruption, and hardship we in the United States can barely comprehend, Marley's lyrics went for the jugular, and as his success grew he later tackled not only spiritual matters but the political strife of his native Jamaica (Marley survived an assassination attempt in 1976), the rise of Zimbabwe out of the oppression of Rhodesia, and the lingering effects of colonialism and slavery.

Grim realities gave birth to the music of Bob Marley and the Wailers, but despite the hardships and struggles he so expertly detailed and brought world attention to, his songs were ultimately buoyant, sunny, even danceable statements of hope.

Few occasions in popular music have seen tougher lyrics married to such uplifting music.  Tune in Sunday mornings at 9:00 for a weekly overview of Bob Marley's career on Brunch With Bob and Friends, and feel free to submit a request by e-mail, anytime. 
All hail the John Wayne Coffee Pot, the official mascot coffee pot of Brunch With Bob and Friends, quietly percolating on Mt. Laguna.
