As you know, the world is celebrating the 70th Birthday of Bob Marley. Brother Bob’s lyrics and music is some of the most widely received across all cultures, all religions and all walks of life. This, you already know.
I won’t remind you of Bob’s accolades such as the highest selling Reggae artist, Billboard chart topping, most sold out tours and most duplicated artist of all time etc., these things you already know, and if you don’t, Roger Steffens can tell you all about it; instead, let me say this….
When I turn on any mainstream radio station, I hear Katy Perry and Taylor Swift, I don’t hear Bob Marley. When I log on to a radio station website, I see images of Beyonce and Nicki Minaj, I don’t see Bob Marley or even his children.
When I turn on your radio show, I hear Bob Marley. When I go to your website, I see Bob Marley, and when I look at your pictures, I often see the hashtag #OneLove. This is the movement of our community. We’re not waiting for mainstream to recognize what we do daily. We honor and we salute Bob Marley, as well as Peter Tosh, Dennis Brown, Phyllis Dillon, Alton Ellis, Jacob Miller, Bunny Ruggs and so many others. This is our living yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Thank you for keeping the legacy of Bob Marley alive. Thank you for not paying attention to ‘mainstream’ because you know we are ‘the stream.’
