    Indeed he has. I praise him everyday, just for being able to wake up and enjoy this wonderful life.

    I was watching a "behind the music Bob Marley" documentary and the presenter lady pronounced it "High-lee seh-la-ssee"how come? Is this actually incorrect?

    I wanted to see that BBC documentary. There was a funny article about how they tried to "interview Bob Marely" for the piece. Check it out:

    BBC asked to interview Marley

    The BBC asked to interview Bob Marley for a documentary - despite the fact he died in 1981.

    They sent the Bob Marley Foundation an email saying it would involve him "spending one or two days with us".

    The Beeb wanted the world famous reggae star's contribution for an hour-long show on his hit single No Woman, No Cry.

    The email said the story "would only work with some participation from Bob Marley himself".

    It added filming was pencilled in for June, July and August, but "our schedule is flexible".

    The show, expected to air on BBC2 and BBC Three, follows a December documentary on The Story Of Bohemian Rhapsody, the Queen song.

    BBC Three said the blunder was "not an April Fool". It added: "We're very embarrassed."

    (BTW, I think the 'correct' way to say it in Amharic is High-lee Se-la-see, but you hear both, all the time, even in rasta circles. Both are acceptable)
