Because the AFC and NFC championships are this weekend, there was only one broadcast of Good Morning Football and then it changed over to a different show about Championship Wednesday. I’m really not into any of the teams in the championships for both the AFC and NFC so, I started to channel surf and I ended up on a channel called AXS tv. There was a documentary about Bob Marley titled Marley.
I have never watched anything on this channel before and based on the show advertisements, it’s all about classic music. I ABSOLUTELY loved Bob Marley my junior and senior years! My friend, Bobby, turned me onto him. I used to call him, “Bob-O” because when I would call him ( I called his house back then) and his dad would answer the phone, he would call him to come to the phone and it was always, “Bob-O.”
I was a bit bummed because the documentary was already on for an hour before I started to watch it and I wondered if I missed my favorite song but shortly after I started watching it, my favorite song came on:
“No Wonan No Cry” Bob Marley
It was SO interesting! I learned about Jamaican politics and his toe injury. I never knew that he had 11 kids from seven different women! TONS of great music was playing for the duration of the show. I love SO many of his songs and I have Bobby to thank for that!
My cousinT, Dawn’s husband really likes him and this was their wedding song that they danced to:
“Is This Love” Bob Marley
I’m not sure of what point I started to cry, but I did. I cry often nowadays. I can’t control it. PPA sucks! I cried a lot when I talked about his death and cancer! I remembered my senior quote from high school,
“Good friends we’ve have and good friends we’ve lost along the way, (hey) in this bright future, you can’t forget your past, so dry your eyes I say.”
I never saw that in print because we never got our yearbooks. I didn’t think I would hear my favorite song but just before it ended, it played:
“Buffalo Soldier” Bob Marley
It was a really good documentary and I’m glad I watched it! I hope to catch it again soon! Now that football is drawing to a close for the season, I think I will.
