If you haven’t seen it yet, well, it’s all your fault. If you are a fan, the movie was released on Facebook, Itunes, On-Demand, and in theaters, so there really is no excuse.
While you’re here, take a look at the enthralling opening sequence, which includes rare footage of Bob Marley and the Wailers performing in Boston 1978.
“Marley” (2012) Opening Sequence
NOW GO SEE THE FILM!!
I have included the podcast from NPR’s Talk Of The Nation marking Bob Marley’s 60th birthday. The podcast includes a lively discussion about Bob’s impact on popular music and the world.
“His music came to symbolize a religion, an entire musical style — and the country of Jamaica. On the 60th anniversary of his birth, fans celebrate the genius who brought reggae to the world. We discuss the legacy of Bob Marley. Guests: Roger Steffens, reggae historian Chris Wilson, A&R director, Heartbeat Records and Tanya Stephens, reggae singer and DJ.”
Please check out my new article on Washington, DC’s own SOJA at World-A-Reggae. I’ve been a big fan and supporter of this crew for over 10 years as they are my hometown collective. Seen too many shows to count, including the 2006 Get Wiser CD release shows at The State Theater featured on the Get Wiser DVD. I’ve provided the video footage below.
