73. That is how old Bob Marley would have been on February 6th of this year. His messages advocating for social change and the unification of good people during times of unrest and oppression are just as relevant today as they were in the 1970s. The magic and beauty in Marley’s music is that he was able to deliver those messages in a positive and affirming way while simultaneously leaving listeners with no choice but to forget their troubles and dance.
