Every Little Thing Gonna Be Alright, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Throughout Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, and America, Bob Marley represents far more than just the musician who translated spiritual and political beliefs into hypnotic, hard-hitting songs such as \"Get Up, Stand Up,\" \"No Woman, No Cry,\" and \"Jammin'.\" Marley was born in rural Jamaica and reared in the mean streets of Kingston's Trenchtown; his ascent to worldwide acclaim, first with The Wailers-Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingstone-and later as a solo artist, is a riveting story of the spiritual awakening of a uniquely talented individual. Now, for the first time, a symphony of voices has joined together to offer perspective on one of this century's most compelling figures. Dealing with Bob Marley as a man and myth, from his \"rude boy\" teens to international fame and his tragic death at the age of thirty-six, Every Little Thing Gonna Be Alrightthen explores the larger picture, examining Marley as the spokesman for Jamaica's homegrown religion of Rastafarianism, as a flash point for the pressure cooker of Jamaican politics, and his unique status as the first pop musical superstar of the so-called \"Third World.\""Hank Bordowitzis the author of the critically acclaimedBad Moon Rising: The Unauthorized History of Creedence Clearwater Revivaland editor ofThe U2 Reader: A Quarter Century of Commentary, Criticism, and Reviews. He lives in the exurbs of New York City. | Every Little Thing Gonna Be Alright, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
