Bob Marley (and Anju) In The Heart of Aniruddha

Today February 6 2014 is 69th Birth Anniversary of Bob Marley (It also is my wife's birthday)


Baz Dreisinger,  review of 'Bob Marley:The Untold Story' by Chris Salewicz, 2011:


"Four hundred pages into this biography, I ultimately found myself staring at the singer’s photo on the cover and wondering who Bob Marley truly was. Neither minutiae nor set lists nor copies of expense reports — nor Salewicz’s pat claims about Marley’s mixed-race identity leaving him “alienated and ostracized” as a boy, nor Rita Marley’s assertion that “Bob had a lot of hurt” — ultimately provide a portrait of the artist as a human being. But that, in the end, has its benefits: it keeps Marley ever elusive, allowing for one more book, one more film, one more story that’s never been told." 

Noel George Williams/ Bob Marley:
 
"Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta:
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival..."
