I have included a phone interview that Jay Strausser of WRUV Burlington, VT conducted with Bob Marley on November 5, 1980. Little did Strausser know that this would be his last interview with Marley. Just a few days after this interview, Marley boards a plane for Germany to seek alternative treatment for his terminal cancer. Marley sounds incredibly upbeat in this interview, which is amazing to me considering the knowledge that he had about the progression of his disease.
It’s sad to listen to this interview knowing what we know now. However, it is a significant part of the archive, so have a listen.
