N.W. - A sudden sadness was felt, as those who were his fans, heard or read the obituary. Because of cancer. Bob Marley, 36, gave up his permanent residency in this world. He was a composer, musician and leader o f the reggae group, Bob M arley and The W aiters." His music was known as Reggae, whose penetrating rhythms and lyrics touched the soul o f the world.

Rastafarians are those who dissented from the system in Jamaica. They offered spiritual and ideological alternatives to those who prevailed in the larger society. Their culture goes back to the seventeenth century, as they took to the hills to avoid he master-slave arrangement that grew out o f colonialism and later, neo colonialism o f Jamaica. Jamaica is beautiful suburban communities in the highlands which overlook miles o f slum dwellings in various stages o f decay. In these slum dwellings, hope is dispensed through Rastafarian music and ritual. In this music and ritual, emerged Bob Marley. Reggae music is complete with lyrics that touched the lives and spirit o f the common man. Grassroot News, N. W. asked the Northwest authority on Reggae, Pablo Innis, (also known as the Soul Rebel on KBOO-FM every Sunday night at 6 p.m.), if the social theme was characteristic o f Reggae music. He explained: "Yes, the lyrics are a way of letting the heads of state know that we are conscious of what’s going on. The music is our way o f ex pressing it. It started out alone in Jamaica. Then it spread to other Caribbean countries and men like Bob Marley come out and addressed the world and A frica . It was a constant theme; A fric a and m e ...A frica and you is the same.” ____________________________ Protine Beauty Products 917 S.W.

One Destiny!” for eventual repatriation to Africa. Garvey left an enormous legacy to the Black world. Since religion has always been the chief expression of what concerns the race most intimately, the fun damental teachings of Garvey found their principal. Survival in religion and the Rastafarians made a prominent place for him in their religion. A sk Aunt Bea Dear Aunt Bea: I’d like to say a few things about the struggle o f dieting and wanting to be thin. A fter countless efforts o f trying to diet long enough to reach my desired weight, and trying innumerable diets and exercises, I fin a lly decided that fat was beautiful, however, my decision was not convincing because deep down inside, I still wanted to be thin. So one day I sat down and thought over the whole process. I discovered that I had a low self- image which caused me to do things that allowed weight gain; things like over eating, eating when nervous, depressed, lonely, angry or bored, s tu ffin g my body w ith unhealthy fattening things, laying around feeling sorry fo r myself, and blaming others for what I was doing to myself. So I took a look at myself and decided that I was my own worst enemy, using any am m unition I could think o f to destroy my body and mind. So I changed my cooking and eating habits and passive ways o f life, by eating less and consuming healthier, less fattening foods, (not eliminating those things I like, but reconstructing their preparation) and moments o f exercises and ■Il I ì stretches to take the place o f munching between meals, taking walks in place o f T .V ., just for the sake o f watching or in place o f cof fee break. I worked extensively on improving my self image, even my hair do, make up and wardrobe. A fte r one m onth, I feel great! And look better too. IO lbs lighter.

It’ s through music that they express their jo y, pain and suffering. The powerless sing in America and it is called the "B lu e s." In Jamaica, it’ s called Reggae. Rastafarian music emerged in the early days o f the movement when Count Ossie introduced his ritual drum ming. This ritual music has withstood all the new creations o f the industry and has remained basically religious. In the late sixties, a new beat which was patterned after the ritualistic music of the Rastafarian, captured the soul of Jamaicans from slums to suburbs. In the early seventies, many songs that hit the charts in America, were w rit ten by the high priest of Reggae, Bob Marley; songs like Johnny Nash’s “ Stir It Up, and Eric Clapton’ s *7 Shot The Sheriff. ” The oneness of the culture o f all people of African descent is summed up in that beat which is reflected in all forms ot Black music; jazz, gospel, blues, RAB and I link. Reggae is no exception. Bob Marley left us at age 36. This young age for departure has been typical o f many Reggae greats, including Don Drummons, a trombonist of the group “ Katalites" and J. Miller, a vocalist for the group, “ Inner Circle. ” The Soul Rebel says, "There will be many more to take Marley’ s place. O f course, none like Marley, but I think the Wallers w ill do good." Whenever you hear a Reggae song, you can expect to learn something. Just read the words from M arley’s albums; Zimbabwe, Survival and A frica must unite! Many Anglo-Saxons with their guilt could not understand this truth that Marley sung about; they rejected it. According to the Soul Rebel, the Afro- American should have been the first to come to Reggae, instead, they were the last. Marcus Garvey wrote: "T he race needs men of character, and above all, men o f honesty, and that’s so hard to find.” One o f those men left us - Bob Marley died, May 11, 1981.
