Some of us actually heard of the hairstyle, Bob Marley before we knew about the musician himself...lol. Bob Marley was born on February 6, 1945, in St. Ann Parish, Jamaica. In 1963, Marley and his friends formed the Wailing Wailers.The Wailers got their big break in 1972 when they landed a contract with Island Records. Marley sold more than 20 million records, making him the first international superstar to emerge from the so-called Third World. He died in Miami, Florida, on May 11, 1981.

So, here are facts about him that you should know:
1. He believed that smoking weed makes you free.
2. He was born Nesta Robert Marley, but a Jamaican passport official swapped his first and middle names when he was a little boy.

4. He was raised Catholic, but converted to Rastafari in the 1960’s.

6. In 1976 A few days before the Smile Jamaica Concert, a gunman broke into Bob's house and shot him in the arm. Bob still performed at the concert not wanting to give the gunman the benefit of the doubt. The gunman is still unknown.
7. Bob Marley has an undetermined number of children, though his official website recognizes eleven.
8. He was a vegetarian due to his devotion to the Rastafari practice.
9. His favorite Reggae singer was Bunny Wailer, and he thought the rest were “skanks.”.
10. His band, The Wailers, was once fired from a tour because they were more popular than the act they opened for.
11. His final words to his son Ziggy before he died of cancer at the age of 36 were “Money can’t buy life.”

Here are some of the last known photo's of Bob Marley a few months before his death while
in Munich, Germany with Dr. Josef Issels the Nazi doctor who tortured him

After surviving an attempt on his life by a well-armed death squad at his Hope Road home in Jamaica, Bob was later given a 'gift' of a new pair of boots by Carl Colby, son of the late CIA director William Colby. When the unsuspecting Marley put them on, something pricked his foot. He then reached into one of the boots and pulled out a piece of copper wire. Many of his closest friends suspected that the wire contained some radioactive or carcinogenic substance, since Marley contracted cancer shortly thereafter. When Marley was diagnosed with cancer, he returned to Jamaica where he was referred to Dr. Carl "Pee Wee" Fraser. Fraser advised Marley to seek treatment from a Dr. Josef Issels in Bavaria . Dr. Issels proceeded to torture Bob Marley, who was by this time loaded with cancer. They cut Bob's dreadlocks off and he was getting all of this crazy, crazy (experimental) medical treatment in Switzerland. We know this because of Ray Von Evans, who played in Marley's group, we were very close friends. As Bob was receiving these medical treatments, Ray would come by every two or three months and told me, "Yeah, mon, they're killing Bob. They are KILLING Bob." I said, "What do you mean they are killing Bob?" "No, no, mon," he said. "Dis Dr. Issels, he's a Nazi!" Joseph Issels was an officer in the SS, a colleague of Joseph Mengele and had served a jail term for manslaughter. Mengele survived the second world war and enjoyed the protection and employment of the CIA.

Those that stand for the truth dont live long.
