In the heat of the big game yesterday, a lot of people forgot that it was also Bob Marley's birthday, the man who introduced the world to the mystic power of reggae. As Jann Wenner, a well known writer of Rolling Stone once said, Bob, "was a true rocker at heart, and as a songwriter, he brought the lyrical force of Bob Dylan, the personal charisma of John Lennon, and the essential vocal stylings of Smokey Robinson into one voice." Bob Marley has some of the greatest lyrics and he remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music. With that being said, throw on some Bob Marley and celebrate his life. Happy Birthday Bob Marley, you are missed but not forgotten.
