Happy Birthday Bob! Miss you. Picking a favorite Bob Marley song is impossible, and no one has ever done it without regret, ever. This is definitely up there on my list though. Lyrics sound like some wise Native American talk. If I had an Indian name I would be Chief Small Axe. Sorry to get off topic, Bob.
