You must wear a Barry Bonds-sized asshat, huh, subby?

I am appalled that this is greenlighted. With gasoline prices being so high, you'd think it would be wasteful to use so much of it for flamebait.

However, there's always the hope that submitter will subsequently die in the fire. My fingers are crossed.

I love Bob Marley but this headline is full of win.


+1

 
oh and once I saw a blimp 2008-03-04 12:59:44 AM  
Agreed. Full of win. +1, would +1 again.
You know who will see this movie? Every single college freshman in the United States of America. Especially the rich white ones.

Marley's music in general isn't about smoking weed, like most people think. He was a very religious man, and his music is some of the best gospel out there.

/Not a reggae fan.
//Favorite band is "the residents"

an 'across the universe' type movie with all bob songs would be kinda awesome.

and i'm sure tons of big name stars would jump on.

So much for that whole easy-going Jamaican vibe.

I never realized reggae fans were such intolerant, violent a-holes.

Reason # 69234786 to hate that shiat...

/Apparently a few things you didn't realize. Like when to spot humor. Obviously, subby is hoping for a flamewar, whether he's joking or not. Being a Bob fan, I figured I'd indulge.

Oh...you were joking or something...yeah, what a fool I am for not noticing. I guess I'm not hip to Bob fan humor.

Gee, sorry for not weeping when an arsonist dies in his own fire.

Violent? Not at all. I simply wished that subby would die in the large fire he was assuredly starting; didn't say I wanted to do anything to him myself, though I'd be more than happy to warm my hands and watch. Seemed like the best thing, to have them literally go out in a blaze of glory. Surely that's got to be the holy grail experience for flame baiters everywhere, right? Their finest hour, go out on top, and all that...

Oh hell yes, thank you! I know Marley is being idolized, but to me, his music, and reggae in general, is so incredibly boring it actually makes me aggressive.

too bad his religion is right up there with LDS and Scientology on the crazy scale.

Insulting Bob, is like mocking the Mona Lisa, she may not be that pretty, but quality is quality.

 
Nemo's Brother 2008-03-04 08:19:44 AM  
I hate how all of the Marleys have raped Bob's legacy. They are all no-talent hacks who sell tickets because weak-minded college students feel like they have to like them to pass some kind of drug/racial cool test.

 
GungFu 2008-03-04 08:25:19 AM  
There are people who hate Bob Marley's music?

Wow.

 
Ender912 2008-03-04 08:33:19 AM  
Subby must've sparked up a few fatties with that headline.

TommyBahama too bad his religion is right up there with LDS and Scientology on the crazy scale.

Which sane religions would you be reefering to here? I mean, you must be comparing it to SOMETHING much much more reasonable here.

/wwbmd?

luckybastard 2008-03-04 08:39:16 AM  
I don't listen religiously, but there's very little better chill-out music than a long set of Marley tunes.

 
luckybastard 2008-03-04 08:40:09 AM  
FTA: The singer had 13 children, including several from extramarital affairs.


Respect, Marley. Respect.

Actually, Rastafarianism isn't terribly different than regular old Christianity. Other than putting King Solomon on the same (if not higher) level as Jesus and treating weed as a holy sacrement, Rastafarianism is pretty much Judeo/Christian morality that's skewed African.

Indeed, they claim Rastafarianism is based off the oldest known copy of the bible in Ethiopia, which says, among other things, that Jesus was the blackest jew to ever walk the earth.

Real Rasta's believe cooking food kills it, and only eat things like fruit and vegetables that are made ready to eat, and they don't imbibe any hard drink, which even includes Vinegar. They also worship Hylie Salasie more than Jesus because he's a more recent prophet according to them. They're quite devoted to the idea that Black people are god's chosen ones as well.

Next time you meet a white kid who thinks they're a Rasta because they smoke weed feel free to ask them about any of these things.

Saying you're a Rasta simply because you smoke weed is like calling yourself a Christian because you drink lots of wine.

No bullet can stop us now, we neither beg nor will we bow
Neither can be bought nor sold.
We all defend the right, JAH JAH children must unite
Your life is worth much more than gold.

We're jamming, jamming
We're jamming in the name of the Lord
We're jamming, jamming
We're jamming right straight from JAH

Holy mount Zion
Holy mount Zion
JAH sitteth in Mount Zion
And rules all Creation


Soul-stirring, uplifting poetry.

THIS THAT & A COUPLE OF THOSE!
I know many Rastafari & from talks with them you nailed it right on the head.

 
wolava 2008-03-04 10:40:35 AM  
Id rather see a biopic on her life. Can you imagine your husband had 11 kids with 7 different women. She went through hell. No wonder she wants Lauryn Hill to play her since her husband is just like his dad and left her alone with 5 kids...probably went off to make some more kids with some other groupies, milking his dads name for pussy.

But I do agree another movie about Bob...like we all dont know what happens already.

 
Slu 2008-03-04 10:55:20 AM  
And all this time I thought I was the only one who didn't get Bob Marley or reggae in general. Well done.

Dear subby:
yer doin' it wrong.

 
Fark_Q 2008-03-04 11:51:29 AM  
yah, his schlock is barely BARELY worth listening too if your HIGH already. other than that, he does not deserve the dick worship he gets fellated upon him by the masses of white urban hipsters and aging hippies.

Just sayin'.

 
redstarr01 2008-03-04 11:54:08 AM  
I like Bob Marley's music and respect his advocation of peace, racial equality, and overcoming poverty and oppression.

 
redstarr01 2008-03-04 11:57:12 AM  
You can't blame the Marley family for making money off his legacy. Hey, they're raking in the cash off stupid spoiled college douchebags and potheads. Can't be too angry about that.

 
carmody 2008-03-04 11:57:50 AM  
I'm glad to find out people don't like reggae. It's an immediate sign that they can't be trusted.

 
Gestalt 2008-03-04 12:00:34 PM  
Peter Tosh, Augustus Pablo, Junior Byles, The Wailing Souls, Lee 'Scratch' Perry. So many other talented musicians and only Marley ever gets the spotlight.

 
lumberjackbreakfast 2008-03-04 12:37:17 PM  
Gestalt,

Agreed. Don't forget Toots & the Maytals. I like Bob alright. But he is NOT the end all/ be all of reggae. I'm a huge fan of the toasters, U-Roy, I-Roy, Dennis Alcapone.

used to think reggae was boring and i'd only heard later marley. the stuff he did with lee perry is great. and no, i'm not a stoner
