"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery 

none but ourselves can free our minds

Have no fear from atomic energy 

cause none of them  can stop the time 

How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand around and look

some say we have to fulfill the book"

Redemption song 

such powerful words which remind me of the need to free the mind from the mental slavery of media nonsense and short lived ideas while the deep eternal thoughts are drowned in a garbage of instant news items that create illusions of truth 

anyway my two cents worth 

Here 's to you Bob , up there amongst the stars and the one  still shining 

"One Love 

one heart 

lets get together and feel alright"

              One love 

Yes! Thank you!

Bob Marley has definitely had an impact on my thinking/pondering and my brain. Puts me in a good mood and his vibes can cure my heart and soul when it's weak. Very conscientizing music!

Redemption song is an all-time favorite!!

Other favs: "Satisfy my Soul", "Jammin'", "Sinnerman" with the Wailers among many others.

Thank you Star for this memorial thread 

I know a Palestinian who likes Bob Marley.

If she were to add to this thread, I'm pretty sure she'd sing along. Sans carrying excess baggage from other 'dividing' discussions.

Peace out, bro. It's a Bob Marley thread. :)

Exodus is a good one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NHbOqmNVm8

I always thought the children of Israel who were slaves in Egypt

were  very similar to the African people

there are many parallel lines 

people like Bob lead people out of mental slavery .

Discuss or disgust? blame or play the game? 

in any rate this is about Bob , got it ? 

chill

@david: my dear friend,

ultimately this is a site created and run by a very small number of people and what they say goes. end of story. i have my own opinions about a recently introduced rule - opinions which i voiced in polite terms directly to the people in charge. and that really is all one can do. 

so my advice to you would be to just accept that this is a private not a public space, owned by the administrators, not the members. it's free so we can't complain. and i'm not being snotty with you (i think you know that anyway),  i'm just a pragmatist. why fight a battle you simply cannot win? it only raises blood pressure and creates heart problems! 

finally, i have seen my posts hijacked, my opinions attacked and my even my motivations questioned by one person with whom you are also familar. but i don't let myself get worked up about it. i just write two letters to amnesty instead of one, send 50chf to a certain organisation instead of 25chf. you see, nobody on this site can stop you doing anything that really counts :o)

Go n-eiri an t-adh leat agus oiche mhaith!

manics.

Iron like a lion in Zion 

Have a good day with this one 

"Dont worry about a thing

because every little thing's going to be alright 

rise up this morning 

smile with the rising sun "

This is my message to you 

David - debate is encouraged, but this is a thread about Bob Marley and your remarks were off topic.

Oded

You're right Breshna, and I removed her post.

Now if she's as cultured as David  she'll call me disgusting too and I can start the weekend off knowing my work is appreciated.

Oded

oh my can we all stop using nasty adjectives and just get on with life? 

@oded: dude, have a GREAT weekend! i honestly don't know how only you and nir look after the entire site? do you guys ever sleep? fingers crossed the weather will be good and we can all chill out:o)

now let's leave this post alone, let it get back to topic. bob marley right?

my fave was always 'could you be loved'. used to drink and dance around to this when i was a kid in our favourite pub back home in dublin. happy days! this is dedicated to my beautiful friend rui!!!

Ok, all you "angry birds" settle down now, it's Friday...

It could always be worse, imagine receiving an explanation like this:

Dear Mrs., Mr., Miss, or Mr. and Mrs.:

Words cannot express the deep personal grief I experienced when your blog, forum-post, event, husband, father, camel or brother was killed, wounded or reported missing in the milieu of Glocals action.

Three Little Birds is my favorite.  It's also my 4 year old's favorite.  He loves to sing it! :)

On a rainy day Bob marley is what the doctor ordered 

and if anyone had any doubts as to where Bob stands

I think there should be Bob Marley religion , way of life, and school 

for little ones, 

the school for soul 

Soothing the soul...

when i think what kids listen to these days and so many go to open air 

music scenes and listen to junk lyrics admiring all sort of clowns 

but Bob had lyrics that had depth and meaning 

if you listen to the words even though the music seems so easy 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_sQ95HrudU&feature=related

musicians have a lot of strength in getting people to listen 

because most people dont really want to hear the truth 

and dont want that soul connection 

Bob had

One of my favorite tributes to Marley is Manfred Mann's

Diffiicult to choose A favorite but here's on of mine (of many).
