Bob Marley Posters Rock
Bob Marley seems to be one of those icons, that gets stronger with every generation. The music and art of this remarkable Regge ambassador pervades to this day. Have you seen all the paraphernalia like posters and t-shirts that are being sold?
Carry it a little bit further, and start asking questions. I'll bet if you asked 100 students who Bob Marley was, the vast majority of them could tell you. A few could probably name a few of his songs, and if your really lucky a few more could sing you a few words. Your safest bet for this would be to ask the question around the music building. I'd hate to hear a Bob Marley song mangled by some engineering student that was rejected in the first round of American Idol.
So many of the photographs and posters of his concerts and life are almost icon as well. Much like the Warhol photos of Marilyn Monroe. We've seen them all so many times, it almost like they been marketing by a fortune 100 company. But in fact they haven't.
The reason for no new material, is that Bob passed away from cancer over 25 years ago. His music, artwork, and image still seem to pervade our culture. Only a few icons seem to have achieved that the way he has. A few others that come to mind would be Marilyn Monroe, and John Lennon. The thing they all seem to have in common, is that there was more to them then just their art. They all had a message to was distilled in their work.
Did even Bob Marley know, that his popularity would continue on so long after his passing? Likely not. And I wonder for how many more years it will continue. There are over 2.7 million searches a month for the name Bob Marley in Google. That's incredible. I guess will be seeing his posters, and hearing his music for some years yet.
Kinda interesting isn't it. What is it that makes Bob Marley almost twice as looked for as Marilyn Monroe, and almost four times as looked for as John Lennon? Honestly, I don't know.
It definitely indicates an interest in Bob Marley, and all things related to Bob Marley, such as music, lyrics, artwork, videos, photographs and posters. I think a little further research is warranted here, to explain these numbers. Suffice it to say though, that Bob Marley was about more than just Reggae music.
There was a tone and timbre to the man that went message deep. But, what exactly was that message. Peace, love, brotherhood, understanding, compassion, passion? Yes, actually it was all the above. - 18758
