That is just DISGUSTING!!!!

Bob Marley would castigate Wesley Clark.

6. He was playing SRV the other day!
BTW, you have no friggin' idea what Bob Marley would do at this point in history.

He'd probably against anyone that criticized B***, if you ask me.

10. well i`m back on the Clark wagon
anyone who plays srv gets my vote-the "journey" thing caused me to change my vote the other day, but i`m concerned about the Marley thing- is Clark going to try and get the rasta vote?

i`ve decided to vote for the candidate that plays the music i like the best.that seems to make more sense than anything i`ve heard so far...

15. He wouldn't support the US
much less some fascist like Clark who thinks the SOA is some kind of great organization

Marley thought the CIA tried to interfere with the Jamaican government...he would be no fan of typical, status-quo US politics.

11. Wasn't Bob Marley on a major record label & backed by huge corporations?
I love Marley, but you have no idea who he would or wouldn't support.

If his choice was between Bush and Clark, he might well pick Clark.

12. Hey Ter, would you recommend that song for Kucinich?
Seriously, I've thought about it. I LOVE that song, and right now it sort of fits the situation, right? I Know, OT, but I wondered.

25. Get Up, Stand Up isn't about "rights" so much as its about
the right of each and every man to think for himself, and reject the pious who insist on fealty to religion

I think Kucinich is the only one who comes close to being able to use it, but I don't know. I'd ask Rita Marley or Ziggy before using it.

29. Good point, but honestly?
*blush* You kinda remind me of Ziggy, in terms of how you think and express it. That's why I wondered what you thought.

17. Bob Marley's dad was a white British officer, by the way.
His mom, for a while, was a maid in Maryland.

I don't hink Marley would have any problem with liberal anti-imperialist.

And this is a much bettter choice than Journey. "She's just a small town girl..."

34. Ouch! Good point, but
Get up Stand up was also a major battle cry for civil libertarians.

Also Bob Marley...well you know, he was todays MLK, IMO. I fell in love with him in about 30 seconds.

He was nearing the end when he produced this incredibly beautiful and positive masterpiece.

33. You are correct, if you measure each version for

revolutionary intensity. Peter, a physically imposing very tall man, was a brutally powerful performer. Bob was more the angelic voice of apocalypse. "Pop revolution", perhaps, but Bob Marley changed the world more, fundamentally, than all but a few in history.

Edited on Sun Jan-25-04 05:18 PM by DenverDem
as Bob would have requested, (like the Peter Tosh song "Legalize it, don't critisize it.") then Bob, Peter and I would forgive his theft of intellectual property rights by using one of the greatest songs of any genre in the history of culture (I say with no fear of hyperbole).

At least his handlers have great musical taste.

31. First of all, it's Peter Tosh's song.
Second, you've no idea how Bob Marley would respond to Clark. He would agree with him on a great many issues, that's for sure.

36. well, should I delete my thread?
I don't think Clark should use Marley songs.

And "Rat Race" was about rejecting the rat race, not embracing it.

40. To Bush:
"We sick an' tired of - a your ism - skism game -
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in - a Jesus' name, Lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (What you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)"

Bob Marley Get Up, Stand Up



Don't give up the fight!

nonsensical anti-candidate threads that I've seen and we have had some doozies.
