Buy A Bob Marley Poster
Bob Marley seems to be one of those icons, that gets stronger with every generation. The music and art of this remarkable Regge ambassador pervades to this day. Have you seen all the paraphernalia like posters and t-shirts that are being sold?
No doubt his music is just as popular as it ever was, and if you ask the most people on the street, they could tell you who the man was. Chances are pretty good, they could even sing or at least hum a few phrases of his music.
Now, I don't suggest this, but if you were able to see what was hanging on the walls of many of those same students dorm walls, I bet there would be more then a few Bob Marley posters, photographs or prints. Why exactly is that? For an artist that hasn't released a single new song in over 25 years that is certainly a perplexing phenomena. Perplexing, but true.
While there have been thousands of good musicians and pop icons over the generations, only a small handful seem to reach the iconic status of legend. What is it, that separates these individuals from the rest of the pop culture mish mash? With Bob Marley, I believe, it was the universal message he delivered. He really believed the words he sang, and they resonated with everyone.
There still seems to be persistent demand even to this day for all things Bob Marley. Of a few of the legendary icons he still seems to garner more Google searches. Topping even James Dean, and The Beatles. One has to wonder what Bob would have thought of the internet. He could have reached even more people.
Kinda interesting isn't it. What is it that makes Bob Marley almost twice as looked for as Marilyn Monroe, and almost four times as looked for as John Lennon? Honestly, I don't know.
While I can't claim to owning any of his artwork, photographs, or posters, I do have a dozen or so of his CD's. Not to mention a few reggae collections where is work is performed through others. Like his son Ziggy. One of my other favorite performers Jimmy Buffett has an adopted son (Marley) named after Bob.
There was a tone and timbre to the man that went message deep. But, what exactly was that message. Peace, love, brotherhood, understanding, compassion, passion? Yes, actually it was all the above. - 18762
