Bob Marley as many know was an avid marijuana smoke, and
supporter for its legalization!
His music takes a lot of influence from his Rastafarian
background as well as the society around him. Singing songs not just about
marijuana but songs about fighting for what you believe in. Songs including: Legalize it, Get up Stand Up, One Love, and
many more. Bob Marley’s music not only took influence from the society
around him but more importantly it had a big influence on that culture.
Bob Marley’s music was influencing the culture at a crazy
time in American history, where people tried to live as free as they could, and
drugs were a huge part to peoples’ lives. But if you look back that crazy
culture also, had a huge movement for peace and equal justice. Just as Bob
Marley sings about, in his music that is relax, laid back and enveloped in
marijuana use.
Influence that culture with his song, "Get Up Stand Up", which talks about fighting for your own rights and getting what you deserve. This fits our theme perfectly because we are trying to stand up for our right to support and smoke marijuana with out getting in trouble. Another influential song that again conveys a positive message is, "One Love". This song talks about people coming together to solve problems, which in a way is what we are doing in this group project.
