Sticky bun soon come, mon.

A funny story. We found that our dog settles down at night (doesn't wander the house) if we play certain music softly on a loop for him. This is his 'Bob' mix, and it contains a selection of Marley and Dylan songs. He doesn't settle for all music. At night he walks up to the computer, when the last person is going to bed, so that we can put his music on.
This is part of the Bob mix.

Have to laugh at the uncanny reality of that comment. Btw, this tune is so dull to me. I'd be willing to bet that being in a live setting hearing this tune...it would be far more interesting.

Not be a 10? Because Jimmy Cliff must be given at least a few points.

How could it be less than a 10?  An anthem to what is, a hymn to what was, and a haiku to what could be.

Sounds like it was performed in my local pub, opening for the Macc Lads.

I don't believe in karma either, but yes, I called god an evil shithead.  I would say the same about any other fictitious character, whose name I would likely also capitalize.  I'm always amazed how many people make excuses for god and all of the atrocities attributed to him.  "Everyone in my village died from the plague but god spared me!  Thank god!" 

Really?

Dude - that's bad karma

Godlike. A beneficent God with a heavenly chorus telling me "Everything gonna be alright."

I want to believe you, mon. Won't bet the ranch on it, but want to believe you.

No doubt about the quality of Bob Marley, but every song of his, and especially this one, make me feel that time is standing still. They never stop.

Why did god kill him then?  What an evil shithead to inflict such a horrible disease on him with full knowledge of how he would suffer.

This is 10 from all the 10. 

I'm not a Bob Marley fan or a fan of reggae in general, but this song has always moved me.  I love it.

Bob was God's gift to mankind

Overplayed?  Yes.  Timeless?  Yes.

There are benefits to trying to understand women.  Pitfalls too, like the headache every time the wife changes the rules on me.

It's all worth it though.  We are best friends as well as husband and wife.

Trying to get beyond the "My feet is my only carrot" line (spaceman, I hate you/adore you), Bob Marley is still one of my favorite reggae artists. I REALLY need to find the article I wrote about being the first person to dance to reggae music in a cow-town...

The greatest reggae artist.  Still.

actually, for many of us, just crying it out is our way of letting it go (you know vs. putting our fist through a wall) and once we do that and get a little hug and pat on the back, it usually passes and everything is alright.....

and a guy who helps us do that and gets it (like Bob) is a keeper and gets all that love back ;)

A crying woman!
and everything is going to be alright?

yeah, sure, in who's dreams

I'm sorry, but this has me laughing so hard I almost can't type... Thank you so much!  I love Bob Marley, but now I'll never be able to listen to his music without thinking of this line and laughing... Oh gawd, I LOVE RadioParadise and all the coconuts who spend time here...

Marley. Always wonderful.
