Music can be a powerful motivator…not just for individuals, either…if the message is strong and people are searching for truth, music can transform entire communities and countries around the planet…and its effects can long outlive its creator, inspiring people to action for decades…

Bob Marley was one of those creators…not only can his music be heard in virtually every country, but his image is everywhere, too…I was in a rural village in Poland and while I was looking for somewhere to eat, I came across a building with a huge mural of Marley…

The same thing happened when I was touring through the jungles of Indonesia…there was one shop in this one particular off-the-beaten-path settlement and it was all decked out in bob Marley everything

It’s universal, these messages of love and positivity and togetherness and righteousness…plus there’s just something about a reggae beat that amplifies the sentiment of the lyrics…

Bob Marley remains one of the most beloved musicians of the last 100 years…so why would anyone want him dead?...there were more than a few people who wished that…they considered him dangerous, a threat, someone who needed to be dealt with before he interfered with their interests…the story involves social movements, local politics, and even players in the cold war between the U.S. and the USSR…

The consensus was Bob Marley must die…
