Trenchtown Today

2007-09-29T10:13:14Z

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6729795.stm

I remember when we used to sit/ In the government yard in Trenchtown.../ And then Georgie would make the fire lights/ And it was logwood burnin' through the nights/ Then we would cook cornmeal porridge/ Of which I'll share with you...

These days, people in Trenchtown, a gritty, violence-wracked district of Kingston, don't gather around logwood fires, sup on communal broth and sing songs any longer.

Life has moved on in Bob Marley country.

Bob Marley: 25 years on

2006-05-18T23:26:37Z

From Marley archivist Roger Steffens

Sunday, May 14, 2006

Twenty-five years ago, on the morning of May 11, 1981, reggae legend Bob Marley slipped quietly into death in a Miami hospital room, surrounded by his family. He was 36, the age at which he had prophesied he would die during a conversation with two friends in Delaware in 1969. His final words to his sons were, "On the way up, bring me up," and "Money can't buy life".

Marley. his image is the most ubiquitous of all the past century's rebel heroes
That Marley was a prophet seems undisputed. But that he was far more than that has become increasingly apparent in the quarter-century since his passing. "Everywhere I go in the world today," says the former head of Amnesty International, Jack Healey, "Bob Marley is the symbol of freedom."

For the past 22 years, I have toured the planet with a multimedia presentation called The Life of Bob Marley, witnessing first-hand the profound effect he has had on disparate nations. In between unreleased
film and video clips I tell his life story in places as far apart - spiritually as well as physically - as the bottom of the Grand Canyon and Mount Zion itself in Israel.

After many of these programmes, there always seems to be at least one person who comes up to tell me that "Bob Marley's music literally saved my life." That's because Marley stood for something; his music was filled with moral lessons and gave hope to people who were suffering for no other reason than an accident of birth.

He himself had risen from dire poverty to become the confidant of kings, sought after by those he called 'poli-tricksters,' and others who tried to co-opt his shamanistic charisma. He rejected them all, and it
nearly cost him his life.

In 1976, he, his wife and their manager, were the object of assassins' bullets, escaping death by a hair's breadth. He had had a vision two nights earlier of gunmen coming to kill his mother. She had stood stock still and cheated death. Marley too, froze in position as the shooter fired five bullets into his manager's groin, and aimed a sixth one at the singer's heart. It slashed across his chest and lodged in his left arm, and he carried it to his grave.

Six months earlier, the back cover of his latest album (and his only top 10 charter in America), Rastaman Vibration, carried his public revelation that he believed himself to be the reincarnation of the Biblical Joseph, who fed the children of Israel in the desert for seven years.

This time around, he was destined to feed spiritual food for seven international years of touring before his untimely death. "Joseph is a fruitful bough," wrote Marley quoting the Bible. "The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him." On that fateful night of December 3, 1976, prophecy fulfilled, and Marley turned from showman to shaman overnight.

Two nights later, he appeared against the advice of his closest friends in an enormous outdoor concert called Smile Jamaica, named after his latest single. Eighty thousand people gathered to hear him sing: one good thing about musicwhen it hits you feel no pain."

At the end of the lengthy, emotion-filled set, Marley went a cappella, quieting an ad hoc group of some 20 musicians, and sang "If puss and dog can get together, what's wrong with you my brothers, why can't we love one another?" Standing alongside him was his wife Rita, herself a target of the gunmen, wearing a white hospital gown and a bloody bandage on her head, with a bullet still lodged in her skull.

Bob rolled up his sleeve and pointed to the bullet in his arm, opened his jacket to show where it had grazed his heart, then disappeared into an off-island exile of 14 months. The show was arguably the most extraordinary musical event of the 20th century, as the singer and his wife openly defied the gunmen to come back and finish their murderous mission.

The next time he appeared on stage in Jamaica was on April 22, 1978, and he brought the island's two warring political parties' leaders together, making them shake hands in front of 40,000 wildly cheering people. Two months later, he was awarded the United Nations Medal of Peace in New York City, for this and other acts of reconciliation and bravery.

Today, along with Che Guevara, the image of Bob Marley is the most ubiquitous of all the past century's rebel heroes, seen from Aboriginal encampments in Australia, to Hindu outposts in the Himalayas, and on campuses everywhere.

During a speaking tour last January in Israel, we drove for dozens of miles through the territory of the Palestinian Authority in the Jordan River Valley. We eventually reached a border crossing back into Israel, a barren demilitarised zone (DMZ) covered in barbed wire, surrounded by tanks, with guard towers whose guns followed our van's path toward the barrier gate.

A young Israeli guard carrying a machine gun with his finger on the trigger, approached with a scowl. Suddenly he noticed the red, gold and green stickers affixed to our dash-board. He did an enormous double-take, then shouted, "Rastafari!" I asked him if he liked Bob Marley, and he looked at me as if I were absolutely mad. "Of course," he snarled, "Who doesn't?"

Bob Marley remains an ever-growing hero because the shape of the 20th century is now readily seen, and there is simply no musical figure who has attained the status that he has, transcending pop stardom to become a figure at once spiritually iconic (he wrote the "new psalms" according to Neville Garrick, his art director), implicitly political despite his protestations to the contrary, and a moral force of undiminished fervor.

At the millennium, several major events occurred to cement his legacy. Marley was hailed by the New York Times as "the most influential musical figure of the second half of the 20th century". The video of his performance at London's Rainbow Theatre in 1977 was called the epitome of that century's finest musical moments and chosen for inclusion in that newspaper's time capsule to be opened in the year 3000.

The BBC selected Marley's One Love as the anthem of its 24-hour round-the-world millennium tv coverage. Time magazine chose his album Exodus as 'The Album of the Century.' He is also the only third world star enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Marley had the grace of dying young, and left 11 children to carry on his works. They have done so in a way that must make him very proud, five of them having already won multiple Grammys.

His greatest hits album, Legend, is the second longest running album on Billboard's charts, behind Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.
I frequently ask my audiences what their favourite Marley track is, and the reply is remarkably consistent. "All of 'em, man. Every one of them!"

Wherever people are in need of solace, of songs of freedom and redemption, the immortal voice of Bob Marley will continue to offer them the "irie ites," or higher heights, of Jah Music, channelled through his peerless poetry and instantly memorable melodies. He is, indeed, an artiste for the ages.

Memories of Bob

2006-05-09T23:38:23Z

By Michael Corcoran
AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF
Friday, May 05, 2006

Gather 'round, kids. I'm going to tell you about the time I saw a legend, a natural mystic, in the flesh. In the two and a half decades since his passing, Bob Marley has not only become the most internationally popular black musician of all time, but more a symbol of freedom, enlightenment and love than mortal man. But on May 6, 1979, he was right there in front of me, on the stage, his eyes closed and those words flowing from his soul. "One good thing about music," sang this Dylan/Lennon in dreadlocks, "when it hits, you feel no pain."

The best way I can describe Marley in concert is that he had a supernatural presence that made him seem more a religious icon than popular musician. He positively glowed, as if encased in a full-body halo. When he did an exaggerated running-man move during "Lively Up Yourself" it looked like he was flying. Every reach of his hand had a higher purpose, every melody resonated with a unifying and galvanizing message.

Right before he died, Bob Marley recorded 'Redemption Song' for the 'Uprising' album. It became his civil rights anthem and was the last song he sang for an audience.

Bob Marley's final concert Pittsburgh, Sept. 23, 1980
Set list:
Natural Mystic
Positive Vibration
Burnin' and Lootin'
Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)
The Heathen
Running Away
Crazy Baldhead
War/ No More Trouble
Zimbabwe
Zion Train
No Woman, No Cry
Jammin'
Exodus
Redemption Song
Coming In From The Cold
Could You Be Loved
Is This Love
Work
Get Up, Stand Up

I knew within five minutes that I'd never see a better concert than Bob Marley and the Wailers at the Waikiki Shell. When the I-Threes (backup singers Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths), so regal in their multicolored headwraps, came out with an opening song, I got chills. Then Marley emerged and all heaven broke loose.

Best day of my life? The day my kid was born. No contest. Most completely blissful day of my life? That would be the concert of May 6, 1979. No contest.

Thursday marks the 25th anniversary of Marley's death from cancer at age 36, which gives me yet another excuse to recall my Michael Jordan of days.

As so often is the case when an artist's career is ended in its prime, Marley became a bigger star in death than he was in life, with his "Legend" greatest hits collection topping the Billboard catalog albums chart almost every week since its 1984 release. His image is everywhere, from T-shirts and tapestries in head shops to scrawlings on the walls in African tenements. Even more importantly, his ideological fire burns in albums such as 1977's "Exodus," which Time magazine called the album of the century in 1999, and in the equality-of-the-heart anthem "One Love."

Seeing Marley, whose only Austin appearance was in July 1978 at Palmer Auditorium (then called Municipal Auditorium), didn't make me appreciate his albums more. It had the opposite affect. They just couldn't measure up; nothing could.

Some folks have bought completely into the Marley mystique, growing dreadlocks and even exploring Rastafarianism, a religion that considers smoking herb a sacrament and regards former Ethiopian king Haile Selassie as the messiah. But for me, it was all about those two hours in Honolulu. I've never been to Austin's Bob Marley Fest because what would be the point?

Like a bowler who remembers what he had for breakfast the morning of his 300 game, I can recall every little detail about that perfect day.

The cloudless sky was beyond blue, like God's Aqua Velva. The nonstop conga drumming at Kapiolani Park, which always sounded so unmusical, like tennis shoes in the dryer, had been stilled that afternoon. We laid down on the grass while a horrid local bar band opened and it felt like silence.

We were freshly in love, the first time for me, which might have had something to do with how magical the concert was. Donna was wearing one of those caps associated with old-time race car drivers — a risky choice for date five — but it worked. Isn't love the best? We were destined to be together the rest of our lives.

I usually leave out the corny romance angle when I'm telling people about what it was like to see Bob Marley two years before he died. Folks don't care about my love life. They want to know what Marley played and what he said and how the Wailers' sound seemed to come in big, glorious waves.

Now, I'm not one to hold court at a bar, or really anywhere, but it's happened time and time over the years. A Bob Marley song will come on the jukebox and I'll say something like, "best concert I ever saw" and the next thing you know I'm Garrison Keillor with a semicircle of listeners. The story has almost become an act, so practiced are the descriptions, the dramatic pauses, the last bit about laying on the sand of Waikiki Beach after the show and just knowing that it'll never get better.

People want to hear about what it was like to see Bob Marley in concert because if they're younger than 40, they didn't have the chance (being dragged to a show by hippie parents doesn't count). Marley has become one of the most mystical figures in pop culture, rivaling Elvis Presley. He's a legend not only of the poor in Africa, but the Hacky Sack-playing "trustafarians" who use Marley's music as a way to justify smoking pot and twisting their hair all day.

Marley is really the Muhammad Ali of music — so universally beloved for all the right reasons. Imagine if Ali had died after the Foreman fight, the "Rumble in the Jungle": That's the iconic status that Marley has achieved.

Unlike Ali, however, Marley never really connected with the majority of American blacks, who just didn't buy into the reggae lifestyle as readily as white college kids did. That pained Marley until the very end.

But he was onto something major just before he died. The last song he recorded for his final studio album, "Redemption Song" was Marley's "A Change Is Gonna Come," as much a departure from "I Shot the Sheriff" and "Rastaman Vibrations" as Sam Cooke's civil rights ballad was from "Cupid" and "You Send Me." It's the song Bono from U2 says he plays for every world leader he meets.

The version on the "Songs of Freedom" double disc comes from Marley's final concert, Sept. 23, 1980, in Pittsburgh. Just two days earlier, Marley collapsed while jogging in Central Park. Doctors said he had a brain tumor, which caused a stroke. Still, he went onstage one more time, to play "Redemption Song" as his epitaph. "Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom," he sang, with such passion, such vulnerability. " 'Cause all I ever had/ Redemption songs."

Days after that Pittsburgh show, Marley was diagnosed with cancer of the brain, lungs and stomach and started radiation treatment. He spent the last seven months of his life in Germany, treated by a doctor who had had some success with cases believed to be terminal. Marley looked 80 years old, Islands records boss Chris Blackwell said, when he was sent back to Miami to see his family one last time. The day before he died, he told his mother that he was satisfied with his life. "My message has gone over the world, and who don't hear it, I am sorry for them," he said. He passed away May 11, 1981.

Some hipsters and musical snobs will tell you that the singer peaked with the early '70s albums he and the original Wailers, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston, made with certifiably insane Jamaican producer Lee "Scratch" Perry. Indeed, "Soul Rebels" and "Soul Revolution" are sonic gems, really the start of reggae music, which slowed down ska. But those are Lee Perry records more than Wailers records.

Marley was destined to be a superstar more than merely a singer. After the first two records on the Island label, Tosh and Livingstone were gone and the Wailers officially became Bob Marley and the Wailers.

That band's finest moment was "Natty Dread," the 1974 album that introduced "Lively Up Yourself," "Rebel Music" and "No Woman, No Cry." Marley wrote that latter tune, but signed away songwriting credit to Vincent Ford, a friend from Jamaica who ran a soup kitchen. Think of all the people that song has fed. In the fine Marley documentary "Caribbean Nights," Blackwell estimates that Marley had nearly 4,000 people on his payroll in some fashion or another.

The thing that can be said for Marley is that he never shed the ghetto, never got above his raising. His father was a white man everyone called "the Captain," who was 50 years old when he married Marley's mom, then 18. Marley moved to Trenchtown, the infamous Kingston neighborhood at age 13 to make a name in music. He hit the Jamaican charts five years later with the anti-violence ska number "Simmer Down," by the Wailing Wailers.

Although he had children with three other women, Marley's soulmate was Rita, his queen. She confronted him about his affairs — hate to reduce his appeal to this, but Bob Marley was the ultimate chick magnet — and he drew a circle on the palm of his hand, according to the new memorabilia-filled book "Marley Legend: An Illustrated Life of Bob Marley" (Chronicle Books, $35). Pointing inside the circle, he said that was where he and Rita and the kids were, and that no one could disturb that inner circle. And she bought it. There's never been anyone else like Bob Marley, and Rita allowed him the freedom to be who he was.

Me, I blew what I had. Shoulda married that girl I saw Marley with, but I was young and it was getting boring being with the same person for a couple of years. I met someone at a party, she met someone at the gym and the split was amicable.

We just never could measure up to our fifth date. Bob Marley and the Wailers and the I-Threes laid it all out for us on that perfect day. There is beauty in togetherness. There is a spirit of love out there that asks no questions, knows no fears.

I don't have much, but I have that day. I remember when my kid was being born and I was supposed to be the photographer, but I was so overwhelmed by what was happening that I put the camera down. I didn't want to record the moment, I wanted to experience it. I wanted to play it over in my mind, even if maybe through the years the details would shift. I'm absolutely certain that Marley and the Wailers opened with "Rastaman Vibrations" at the Waikiki Shell, but a set list on the Internet says it was "Concrete Jungle."

Sometimes I try to recall what it felt like to fall in love and to see Bob Marley at the same time. But, really, that time has passed. I watch his DVDs and it's not even close. I think about Donna and I remember how the way she'd always eat standing at the sink bothered me. Wasn't meant to be, I think.

Now I'm just an old guy in a bar, a coffeehouse, a park somewhere, telling a bunch of kids about a concert I saw 27 years ago.

The sky was just so blue. It was like God's Aqua Velva.

help SAVE Arctic National Wildlife Refuge FROM the "Son of the Bus*"

2005-10-17T17:28:58Z

This is VERY important...

Together we CAN save the Arctic National Wildlife refuge!
Congress is closer than ever to turning the pristine, unspoiled Arctic National Wildlife Refuge into an industrial oil field, but there is still time to save the Refuge! That's why a coalition of conservation, labor, religious and other citizen groups representing millions of Americans who believe the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should remain wild, unspoiled and free of oil rigs have joined together to create Arctic Refuge Action.

Please sign a petition and get active to stop the "mad fake cowboy"!!!!!

It happenned couple months ago but you will be able to whatch the whole speech (and few songs including Bob by the end) :) of the Brazilian super Minister of Culture of Brasil Gilberto Gil. It is very interesting, enjoyable and kind of long video too (~ 1:40:00 ) ;)

To whom are not familiar with "Gil" , he has a CD and DVD dedicated to Bob Marley only. And in my opinion (IMHO) it is the best performance of Bob's music/message his passed away :)

You will need Real Player to see (www.real.com) and the Berkeley link is:

By the way, I gave my really pretty Bob t-shirt to Minister Gil. You can see it, almost by the end of the webcast (~ 1:33:30 )

Peace,

Flavio.

you know the cool thing...I grew up in the essence of Bob Marley and the Wailers..My Uncle introduced reggea to Me when I was a wee ankle biter.
My Uncle Donald took me to the concert in '80 in Vancouver..
I was a little squirt.

Today...at the blessed age of 31 I still love reggea, dub, ska, punk, blues, funk, soul, hip hop, electronica, swank fusion...oh the list goes on...

this all in time for his 60th birthday on FEB.6 2005:

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - The wife of reggae star Bob Marley said Wednesday that she plans to exhume his remains in Jamaica and rebury them in his "spiritual resting place," Ethiopia.
The reburial is set for February when celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Marley's birth anniversary are planned in Ethiopia. Both the Ethiopian church and government officials have expressed support for the project, Rita Marley told The Associated Press.

"We are working on bringing his remains to Ethiopia," said Rita, a former backing singer for Marley's band, The Wailers. "It is part of Bob's own mission."
Marley was born in St. Ann, Jamaica, in 1945. He died of cancer in 1981.

Rita Marley said her husband would be reburied in Shashemene, 250 kilometres south of Addis Ababa where several hundred Rastafarians have lived since they were given land by Ethiopia's last emperor, Haile Selassie.

Hundreds of thousands of Jamaicans embraced Haile as their living god and head of the Rastafarian religious movement.

Marley was a devout Rastafarian, a faith whose followers preach a oneness with nature, grow their hair into long matted strands called dreadlocks and smoke marijuana as a sacrament.

"Bob's whole life is about Africa, it is not about Jamaica," said Rita, a Cuban-born singer who married Marley in 1966.

"How can you give up a continent for an island? He has a right for his remains to be where he would love them to be. This was his mission. Ethiopia is his spiritual resting place," she said. "With the 60th anniversary this year, the impact is there and the time is right."

Together with the African Union and the U.N. children's agency, Rita Marley has organized celebrations in Ethiopia, including a concert on Marley's birthday, Feb. 6, to be held in Addis Ababa.

The month-long celebration, dubbed Africa Unite after one of Marley's songs, aims to raise funds to help poor families in Ethiopia.

The Marley Family, Senegal's Baaba Maal and Youssou N'Dour, Angelique Kidjo of Benin and other African and reggae artists will perform as part of the $1 million US program.

The event is expected to be broadcast in Africa and beyond.
