As we drove around on this sunny L.A. afternoon, I heard Get Up Stand Up on the radio today. It was the original that most of us have heard from the magnificent Legend compilation. But I prefer the version from my favorite Marley album Talkin' Blues. It's my fave because of the live groove vibe felt from the recordings made live in the studio of San Fransisco's KSAN-FM in 1973. You see during that year Marley and his Wailers were opening up for Sly and the Family Stone.... MORE

"Hit me with music, brutalize me with music". Does anything else ring truer than that? Bob's album Live!, recorded at the Lyceum in London on the last leg of The Wailers' 1975 tour supporting Natty Dread, might possibly rank high among the greatest live albums of all time. With the addition of guitarist Al Anderson and keyboardist Tyrone Downie, and backing vocals provided by the I-Three's, Bob's touring lineup took his recorded product and amplified it to ten, ...

Sometimes we have to keep positive when things may not be going as we may have planned. Its been one of those days today for me. Somebody once told me there are only 3 qualities of life you need to follow to be successful ( we all have different visions of success- to some it may be fame, money, friends, love) The three Qualities are RESPONSIBILITY , (taking responsibility for your actions)AWARENESS, are you aware of what your actions are and what they do, what knock on ...

Rastaman Vibration is a stunning cd of incredible music. Seen by some as an attempt at POP music, hailed by others as a masterpiece, It spun off no hit single but almost every track has become a staple of reggae/soul radio (at least in these parts).
Johnny Was, written by Rita Marley, exhibits a side of the Wailers not well enough appreciated.

SO...... on a recommendation from a fellow MOGger & grand all around guy, spideywholikestofeedmouths , I rented I Am Legend recently & for the first time, in a really REALLY REALLY long time, I was _jammin_ to some Bob Marley & the groove was getting to me in the best way. Has that ever happened to you ?!? I am sure that it has. A band you once dug kinda fell outta flavor with you... only to find years later, a love rekindled... PURE BLISS !!! DO TELL... who's yours ... MORE

If I could choose one artist to see of any dead or alive, Bob is my choice. Redemption Song is the last track on Bob Marley's album, Uprising. At the time he wrote the song, circa 1979, Marley had already been diagnosed with the cancer that was to later take his life, and according to Rita Marley, he was already secretly in a lot of pain and dealt with his own mortality, a feature which is clearly apparent on the album, particularly on this song. The song has been cove... MORE

The song is taken from the album "SURVIVAL" (-79).The video is from a concert in the U.S. in that same year.

Oh Baby, Pimp's post here (and Lucy's old Multi post which miraculously showed up as new on my message board) just got me started with another crying festival. I swear, if this doesn't stop anytime soon I'll head down to the park and score some herb, see if that soothes me. Or, gives me sleep, and I mean, deep _dream-less_ sleep. This morning, I managed to oversleep my alarm once more, and I even resisted Fabian's attempts to wake me... he claims I spoke to him, but ... MORE

Here's a funny thing. I read this in my hotel room in Chicago a couple of mornings ago:"The inexpressible depth of music, so easy to understand and yet so inexplicable, is due to the fact that it reproduces all the emotions of our innermost being, but entirely without reality and remote from its pain ... Music expresses only the quintessence of life and of its events, never these themselves." [Schopenhauer, quoted in Oliver Sacks' Musicophilia]Then I went out and got in a ... MORE

Lot of people feeling some kind of weight coming down. Thought I would add to the MOG pool of good feeling. Somehow I missed this Bob Marley and the Wailers song, thought I had heard em all by now.
I see he is really well represented on MOG but you really can't go wrong with Bob Marley.
