A legend or what? His music always makes me feel good.

Yah, for sure, Bob is a god. His box set "songs of freedom" is probably the best box set I've ever heard.
Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

Over rated in my view. He did that thing which makes you 'legendary' - i.e. pegged it.

Bob Marley was a bit more than just a legend.

I've sat here for a few minutes and tried to think of a genre of an artform that was more dominated / built by / associated with one person like Reggae is/was with Bob Marley. Pablo Picasso came to mind, but his actual works are no where near as dominant as Marley's music.
