I just remember the “Rasta Gourmet” from Fridays,

“Is it butter?-no, no no, nooo, no no, is it sugar? no, no no, noooo no no... is it Ganja? yes, yes, yes”

Afro-centrist Rastafarian who used drugs and died of cancer. Oh, and he was a musician. As an afro-centrist, he was celebrated, although other (fill in the blank)-centrists might be considered racist. The double-standard rolls along.

that was musical youth.

LOL - I know that, but the song was kiped from a cannabis song of a Rastafari singing group. The kid's title is more well known than the original and even then the song was transparent to anyone that knew a blunt gets passed around. "Bless the Emperor and pass the Dutchie Mon!" "You tink ya can Bogart dat all da day?!"

And the counter-culture urban legend circulated for years that he was really murdered by the CIA.

He was so Afro-Centrist, that he left his wife to live with the White Prize in his final years.

Oh my! I googled - "Bob Marley" CIA - and got "About 4,770,000 results (in) (0.16 seconds)."

It appears many still believe the CIA could have given a care about a Jamaican reggae singer, little known at the time beyond the youth culture of The Sixties.

Bob Marley converted to Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity before he died.

I’ve had Jehovahs Witnesses come to my door who were way more stoned than Bob.
