This date marks the birth of Bob Marley in 1945. Bob Marley was born Robert Nesta Marley in rural Rhoden Hall in the Parish of St. Ann, Jamaica. His mother was a Jamaican teenager and his father a middle-aged captain in the West Indian regiment of the British Army. The rest like they say is history.

If you follow the blog on the regular, then you know I have nothing but the utmost respect for Mr. Marley. Through his music he was able to get his message of peace, love, and righteousness out to the word. The often misrepresented Marley, never let what others said about him or his lifestyle affect the way he lived his vibrant life. His message will forever continue to live on through his music. He is the definition of a artivist.
