Bob Marley about Castro
Notes From the Cuban Exile Quarter
The totalitarian regime in Cuba seeks to rewrite its past to give the appearance of being relevant and "with it." The trouble for the dictatorship's propagandists is that there is no memory hole to do away with the inconvenient facts. For example, the dictatorship erecting a statue of John Lennon in 2000 after censoring him and his music while he was alive. Now they are at it again with Robert Nesta Marley better known the world over as Bob Marley with a concert in his honor on the 30th anniversary of his death.
Bob Marley passed away in Miami on May 11, 1981 from cancer at the age of 36. He was a master singer-song writer who spread both reggae and his religious belief known as Rastafari around the world. When asked about the relationship between the Rastas and the socialist government of Jamaica under Michael Manley in a July 19, 1978 interview with Jeff Cathrow he was direct and to the point:
MARLEY: "No mon! Michael Manley is a Marxist-Leninist-Socialist, Rasta is a monarchy. Dig It!"
JC: "Do you think Manley will be overthrown?"
MARLEY: "I don't know, mon."
JC: "If something happened to Manley, what do you think would happen to Jamaica?"
MARLEY: "ANYTHING that 'oppen, it have to be better!"
