| | The Music and Life of Bob Marley, Rita Marley Foundation Talk in Ghana, Africa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Bob Marley was quite intent on the fact that his music was (and of course, is) a lot more than just music because, on one hand, it teaches the people by bringing to consciousness certain truths, yet, on the other, he would often say, "If I were educated, I'd be a damn fool!" |
 | | To many, the story of Bob Marley's life is one of a true modern day sage who remained committed to his vision of raising consciousness through music. |
 | | Ultimately, students take from this class a deeper understanding of Marley's life, of how to play reggae music, a greater understanding of the inner workings of great pop song writing, and a notion to think seriously, through Marley's example, about what it is they are saying with their own musical talents. |
