Bob Marley was a hero figure, in the classic mythological sense. His departure from this planet came at a point when his vision of One World, One Love -- inspired by his belief in Rastafari -- was beginning to be heard and felt. The last Bob Marley and the Wailers tour in 1980 attracted the largest audiences at that time for any musical act in Europe.

Bob's story is that of an archetype, which is why it continues to have such a powerful and ever-growing resonance: it embodies political repression, metaphysical and artistic insights, gangland warfare and various periods of mystical wilderness. And his audience continues to widen: to westerners Bob's apocalyptic truths prove inspirational and life-changing; in the Third World his impact goes much further. Not just among Jamaicans, but also the Hopi Indians of New Mexico and the Maoris of New Zealand, in Indonesia and India, and especially in those parts of West Africa from wihch slaves were plucked and taken to the New World, Bob is seen as a redeemer figure returning to lead this

I don't believe he was a prophet, just a man concerned with human rights and how to alleviate the problems that occur when people are oppressed.

he was just like telling everyvbody how the government was and they didnt like that

Marley was a Rastafarian, a Black religion that believes Hailie Salassi is the son of God.
The main part of their religion is the smoking of canabis, which os probably the pnly way that you could believe that one of the most corrupt, for his time, African leaders was God.
He promoted canabis use, amongst other things.

smokin dope
Rastafarianism could only have been thot up by someone who'd smoked a helluva lotta dope.
