Happy Anniversary 'Legend'
by TChris
Saturday marked the 20th anniversary of Bob Marley's "Legend" album.
In the realm of musical-taste-as-statement-of-personal-identity, "Legend'" says: I generally care about world events. I favor cotton clothing. I think stress is bad. I want to stop injustice. I'm all for love. I wouldn't say no to the herb, if you get my drift.
Through songs culled from such Bob Marley and the Wailers' albums as "Burnin'," "Kaya" and "Exodus," the "Legend" worldview is one of universal love, righteous anger, going with the flow and shared single beds.
