Bob Marley Legend Lives On
Bob Marley Legend Lives On
And we say Bob Marley legend because when we were in college in the seventies or on the grassy knolls of the Haight or breaking free from corporate sports or industry or injury, he was there with words and music and the greatest of spirit–affirming affirmed our need for unity, solidarity, spirituality, respect, and love. He helped us “Stir it up,†“Put it on,†and “Rock it Baby.†He encouraged us to “Pass it on,†“Stand Alone,†and “Keep on Moving.†And as he passed the torch of human dignity in rebellion and in redemption, he taught us to realize, “Most people think/Great God will come from the skies/Take away everything/And make everybody feel high. But if you know what life is worth/You will look for yours on earth…,†and that it is necessary, okay, probable, and imperative that we “Get up, stand up; stand up for [our] rights!â€
