Marley Question Tomorrow I am giving my annual Bob Marley lecture in my history classes, mostly to dispel the stereotypes many of my students have, and was wondering- how many Marley songs did he sing about herb? I can only think of a few. Thanks in advanced, Jeff http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,322233,322233#msg-322233 Sat, 25 May 2013 02:15:43 -0700 Phorum 5.2.15a http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,322233,322358#msg-322358 Re: Marley Question http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,322233,322358#msg-322358
Thanks for sharing that, I'd not heard that and your right it is different. Trying to chase the cartoony image of an Indian Fakir, piping a "Rope Snake" out a basket

do you think Richie Havens was making a camoflagued reference to Manila Hemp Rope?]]> DJ BIG JIM SNWMF Phorum 2013 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:25:42 -0800 http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,322233,322344#msg-322344 Re: Marley Question http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,322233,322344#msg-322344

No disrespect but I had to give my two cents.
I'm a teacher of elementary students and have
Been honoring Bob for the last 7 years in my classroom.
Herb has nothing to do with why we honor Bob. We
Should be speaking about how he fought injustice,
Inequality, poverty, etc with word sound and power,
Putting reggae and Rastafarianism on a global
Scale. If we view bob as just someone who burned
Herb how can you blame kids for doing any different?

That's exactly the point of my annual lecture- to dispel the Bob=pot stereotype my students generally have. I was asking how many songs he wrote about herb because out of the hundreds he wrote only a few have to do with herb.

I was told that Three Little Birds was symbolic of the Trinity and I always interpreted Natural Mystic as having more to do with revelations and such than herb.

Could be wrong of course.

Jeff


Alot of people want BOB to be all about the herb, but then again the herb is one of those things that has a tendency to creep into everything physically and figuratively.]]> papajoshua SNWMF Phorum 2013 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:29:03 -0800 http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,322233,322313#msg-322313 Re: Marley Question http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,322233,322313#msg-322313
