I cannot stand Bob Marley's music.

The English Major: I cannot stand Bob Marley's music.

I can't stand white guys 'inspired' by Marley that go out and get dreadlocks.


Just an opinion.

Good call.

I thought his likeliness was on all sorts of merchandise already. Or was that Che Guevara?

Hilco CEO Jamie Salter believes Marley products could be a US$1 billion business in a few years.

Are there really that many college freshman in this country?

I love his music, but his family can go fark themselves.

Except for Ziggy, who does the theme for Arthur and Company.

If they are trying to preserve Bob's image, that ship has long sailed.

My Enoch Light Trapper Keeper is much cooler.

Did they ever figure out who shot the deputy?

A merchant ship even?

I'm not sure it's a matter of preserving his image as much as it is about capitalizing on it. The fact that licensed Marley merchandise generates about $4 million in sales per year, while unlicensed merch generates about $600 million is likely what got this ball rolling.

What's it matter? His image is already being worn by people who don't even know what he's all about. Like most of the people who've already posted on this thread.

\ONE LOVE.

As a Head Shop owner who sells Marley merchandise I am getting a kick out of these replies

/Marley is overrated
//Most 'fans' can't even name a handful of songs

I would definitely buy Bob Marley rolling papers...

It has already started.

In the current Diamond comic book/toy catalog, there's a Bob Marley Buffalo Soldiers bobblehead doll.

Orly?

I am Ahab: Orly?

Ahhhh, low and behold one of our best selling papers! Out of the 3 or 4 Hemp paper options the Marleys are always chosen off of name alone, but at least they are a good quality paper. Our soft glass Marley water pipes,...not so much.

He is one funny-ass guy.

they've been whoring out his legacy for a long time now, why stop now?

I will never understand why Bob Marley is worshiped by so many white American frat boys. I mean, sure, he had some good songs, but it seems every frat boy I meet (I've lived in a couple of college towns, so I've met a lot) absolutely worships both Bob Marley and Dave Matthews.
