Bob Marley: 25 Years Later...
Saturday, May 13th, 2006 in the weewizzle hours
25 years ago today, the man left, but even today he rocks countless souls around the globe. I heard a story on NPR earlier today on my way home from work, so that's what prompted me to make a post. LIGHT UP, BABY!!!
Few of my personal favorite lines that ring in my head when I'm in the musical zone...
If you know your history,
Then you would know where you coming from,
Then you wouldn't have to ask me,
Who the 'eck do I think I am.
I'm just a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America,
Stolen from Africa, brought to America,
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier win the war for America.
Dreadie, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Buffalo Soldier troddin' through the land, wo-ho-ooh!
Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand,
Troddin' through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea.

I thought I was watching Kip from Napoleon Dynamite trying to hit on his "hot babes".... Then I realized that this guy is not in fact Kip but some other douchebag who wears what I can only call Zumbas or pajama pants with cartoons on them? And dare I even ask why the hell there's an excersize ball in it?
