Bob Marley was more than just a musician, he was an activist and revolutionary. The message of his socio-political music created an awareness of oppression and injustice for poor people around the world. People striving for equality still identify with him and his music as the ultimate protest.
Very true, fly girl.
He's amazing. Years later he is STILL an ICON!
