Marley wasnt singing about how peace could come easily to the world, but rather about how hell on Earth comes too easily to too many.He knew the conditions he was singing about. His songs werent about theory or conjecture, or an easy, distant compassion. His songs are were his memories. He had lived with the wretched, he had seen the downpressors and those whom they pressed down, he had been shot at; he probably would have again. It was his ability to describe all this in palpable and authentic ways that invited the worlds attention and that sustains his body of music unlike any other weve ever known. Bob Marley made hell tuneful, like nobody before or since . Thats what has kept him alive. - Rolling Stone Special Collectors Edition
