I do not like Bob Marley. I like some of his lyrics, including the ones you posted, but I generally hate reggae music. It always reminds me of cheesy commercials advertising some "exotic" location, like Jamaica.
ReplyDeleteAnd in other contexts, like when people talk about how much they love Bob Marley, or wear a shirt with his face on it, I want to gag.
It's all just too happy. You know how I am. People that like Marley usually wear flip-flops far too often and think that by listening to Marley that they have gain some sort of music credibility, despite their listening to excessive amounts of emo music every other time.
You can see these people at UVA, Warped Tour, Spencer's, Hollister and your local Taco Bell.
i find that incredibly unfortunate. as you know, i am nothing like these people. too bad you are incapable of separating bob marley from what some people make of him and what he really is.
