About Bob Marley Quotes
The music of Robert Nesta Marley, the late Jamaican musician who introduced both reggae music and Rastafarian religious beliefs to an international audience, combines a “feel good,”slow-paced rhythm with a militant call for justice and freedom from oppression.
Bob Marley has been called a prophet, a psalmist for the Rastafarian religion, an advocate for an African homeland for the descendants of slavery still struggling to develop a sense of identity in what he called
“Babylon,” a peace- maker, a troublemaker, a musical genius, and the first Third World superstar. Marley was a complex man housed within an apparently simple guise. His speech sounded, to the uninitiated, like the ramblings of a “pothead” (ganja, or marijuana, was a part of both his religion and his philosophy), yet contained revelatory and revolutionary truth for those who had ears to hear.
Bob Marley skillfully blended multiple cultures, syncretistic religious influences, and a commitment to freedom, justice, hope, and unity through the gift of his musical and lyrical genius. He never saw himself as anything other than a messenger of Jah, and used his music as a device to empower persons toward personal and corporate transformation.

Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?

Enjoy!
