About Me

This is a Myspace dedicated to Bob Marley. On the morning on Sept. 21 while jogging through Central Park, Bob Marley collapsed and was brought to the hospital. There a brain tumour was discovered and doctors gave him a month to live. Rita Marley wanted the tour cancelled but Bob wanted to continue on. He played an unforgettable show in Pittsburgh but was too ill to continue so the tour was finally cancelled. It would be the last show he ever performed. Bob was transported to a Miami hospital. In a final attempt to save his life he underwent a controversial treatment in Germany. While in Germany he celebrated his 36th and final birthday. Ultimately the treatment didn't work. Bob wanted to die at home so he was flown back. Unfortunately, he didn't finish the trip, and he died on May 11, 1981 in a Miami hospital. He was internationally mourned for and thousands showed up at his May 21 funeral to show their respects. In attendance were both the Jamaican President and the Leader of the Opposition. Bob Marley now rests in a mausoleum at his birthplace.Bob Marley knew of his fate. Being a visionary he foresaw this, his words will forever be immortalized in the lyrics in which he wrote"One bright morning when my work is over I will fly away home"

I'd like to meet:

Excerpt from Bob Marley's Funeral"His message was a protest against injustice, a comfort for the opressed. He stood there, performed there, his message reached there and everywhere. Today's funeral service is an international right of a native son. He was born in a humble cottage nine miles from Alexandrea in the parish of St.Ann. He lived in the western section of Kingston as a boy where he joined in the struggle of the ghetto. He learned the message of survival in his boyhood days in Kingston's west end. But it was his raw talent, unswerving discipline and sheer persiverance that transported him from just another victim of the ghetto to the top ranking superstar in the entertainment industry of the third world."I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

Spoken by the Jamaican President May, 1981---------

Music:

No woman no cry No woman no cry No woman no cry No woman no crySay, Say, Say I remember when we used to sit In a government yard in Trenchtown Observing the hypocrites As they would mingle with the good people we meet Good friends we have Oh, good friends we have lost Along the way In this great future, You can't forget your past So dry your tears, I sayNo woman no cry No woman no cry Little darling, don't shed no tears No woman no crySaid I remember when we use to sit In the government yard in Trenchtown And then Georgie would make the fire lights while the log wood burnin through the night Then we would cook cornmeal porridge Of which I'll share with you My feet is my only carriage And so I've got to push on through, Oh, while I'm goneEverything 's gonna be alright Everything 's gonna be alrightNo woman no cry No woman no cryWoman and sister Don't shed no tears No woman no cry
