They better get this Bob Marley movie right...

I don't want to wait in vain for this biopic.

When I was 13, my love for reggae music took off. I received a copy of Legend as a Christmas gift and my father gave me a Bob Marley t shirt. Bob Marley’s music was the soundtrack of self-discovery; a likkle island with global impact that I could look at and call home. High school heartaches punctuated by “Is This Love” and “Waiting In Vain.” The bassline on “Natural Mystic” speaking so deeply to me that it became my username of choice. A burgeoning desire for justice encouraged by “Get up, Stand up.” Bob Marley has always felt larger than life.

Bob Marley’s legacy both reverberates and casts a shadow. His best of album, Legend, still regularly charts as the number one reggae album and he is viewed as the untouchable king of reggae.
