Re: Is Bob Marley Respected For His Art and History Or Is He Just An Icon For Marijua
Bob Marley died of Acral lentiginous melanoma had nothing to do with pot smoking. Although part of the reason it spread to the rest of his body is most likely because he didn't take care of himself propably because he was too busy getting high.
In regards to his music, while it is related to pot smoking I've always enjoyed Reggae and I didn't have to be high to enjoy it. Bob Marley was a major force in bringing Raggae to the masses outside of Jamaica. He had several outstanding songs both political and non-political many that were played on radio stations around the world in the late 70's. I'll remember him for his art and wonderful music not because he smoked pot.
There are several failed pot head artist let alone 100's of raggae artists that never made it. Obviously Bob music hit a spot with people as he has sold millions of albums.
I always find it hillarious then people try to relate certain bands success to pot. IF you don't like a band its not because you aren't smoking the right stuff its because you don't like them. I don't like most heavy metal but don't think what are those people smoking cause that music gives me a headache.
