Bob Marley was first and foremost, a Rastafarian man. 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.”

This theme is pure Pan-Africanism which was reflected in the life o f Mar­
cus Mosiah Garvey, who united those o f African descent under the banner of
"O ne God, One Arm! 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.

Dear Aunt Bea:
There’ s this pleasant enough man
who works for my husband (small
business) whom I’ ve only met over
the phone taking or giving messages
or instructions. Each time at the end
o f our conversation, he calls me
"D e a r." This is irritating but how
do 1 get this over to him w ithout
being rude?
Ir ha ted Dear"
Dear Irritated:
Merely in fo rm him that you
realize he doesn’ t mean to irritate
you but his calling you dear does
and that it would please you i f he
called you_____ (give him a name
that pleases you.)

Music is the soul ot Black people. 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.
More than the mere supplying o f mortgage
money, Lincoln also provides the knowledge,
the organization, and the courtesy which
speeds each transaction front application to
completion of financial arrangements.
