Bob Marley

was half white.
dad was in British army.
had to cultivate his locks.

 

NO WAY!
Really?

 

I knew the first two... have no idea what the last one means.

 

Tis true.


Not sure about the dreads bit though.. I'm a whiteboy and my hair dreads naturally with very little 'cultivation'.. Not saying you're wrong or anything, just saying

 

i was recently told he was gay??

 

Ironic:

Bob Marley was killed by mellanoma (sp?), which is normally not contracted by people of african descent. So, basically, his deadbeat white father contributed the genetics that killed him.

 

well that's screwed

 

I've never heard Bob Marley was gay, in fact, one of my favorite quotes from him is "a king deserves many queens." Ahhhh such a mack.

 

i heard he put boot polish in his hair to make him look more 'african'

 

That is true.

 

dude, have some respect for the dead and try not to spread idle gossip.

Peace

I love Bob Marley! My favorite song is "Stir it Up" on the Legends CD.

 

ya mon, even if he wanted to look more african, dont blame him, since it was the white descent that killed him. respect mon.

 

I heard when he died they discovered a couple of new species of lice in his hair.

 

now that is funky!!! hah, hes funky dead and alive!

 

All in all, you can't place the blame on anyone for what happens. Shit just happens, man... and you can't always turn it around...

Lost a great soul... but his music and philosophies are still just as strong or stronger today than they ever were... I believe he was a genius at being who he was... himself.

 

he died from cancer in the toe

where are you getting this information?
