Influences: What can I say? Bob's (Marley) my hero. I don't know of any songwriter whose music has reached a more diverse audience. His music was/is universal and his lyrics showed an insightful understanding of the world around him. No matter where you travel in the world Bob's music resonates with a sense of freedom and hope.
