Death Makes a Difference!
Damn, dying early can certainly make a difference!! Can you imagine if Bob Marley had lived to be 64 years old, he would probably be sitting down today in his old studio with a spliff in his mouth, an old man reflecting on the glory days of the 1970s (and presumably 1980s as well).Originally posted by Gamma View Post
On the other hand, like Jimmy Cliff, he might have faded quietly from the public eye.
However, Bob, like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Otis Redding, died young and at the top of his career, and so today has become almost a mythical figure. Dying young probably made a great difference here!
