Did you know that Bob’s middle name wasn’t Nesta? Did you know that when he was born his father was 60 years old and his mother was only 16 years old? Did you know that his father was a white man? Did you know Bob died when he was 36 years old? His last words to his oldest son David “Ziggy” Marley were “Money can’t buy life.” Did you know that Bob’s name wasn’t Bob? It wasn’t Robert. It was Nesta. Nesta Robert Marley. If you haven’t see the new Marley movie by Kevin Macdonald it is out on DVD. Totally worth watching for people who know nothing about Bob, casual fans and huge fans like me. Long live Nesta!
I am jamaican and did that know these facts. Will definitely be on the look out for that video. Saw your site on the back of a civic, very cool. God bless.
Thanks Tonny – The video was great. They have lots of people from Bob’s childhood talkin’ and a lot of Bunny Wailer interviews. You get to hear from the Marley side of the family as well (they have never been featured in any of the previous documentaries). I hope you keep following the site, there’s more Marley art to come I’m sure… mike
