Special props to Johnny Utah from Smoking Trees in Belize for pointing out that the honorable Rastafarian,Robert Nesta Marley, died 27 years ago yesterday, May 11, 1981 at the age of 36.
The final words to his son Ziggy before succumbing to cancer, were "Money Can't Buy Life."
To honor of the man who helped put Reggae music eternally on the international stage(Peter Tosh too!) and into the minds of people of all ages for endless future generations, I located some of my favorite Marley tunes and inspirational Marley quotes.
"My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever. "
"Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny."
"Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen."
"Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold."
"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free our minds."
Could You Be Loved Video on YouTube.
"The authorities tell you that you mustn't smoke herb because it's bad for you. Yet if they catch you at it they'll carry you off to prison. I think it's better to be smoking herb out here free than being in prison."
"Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?"

Tis the Season- Mac G Endorsements
Since Tis the holiday season, I wanted to spread some Mac G goodwill. When I am not I posting You Tube clips of drunk people or scantily dressed women, I do write on this blog(remember that?) and I pimp out things that I enjoy. Movies, Music, TV shows,Beer, Sports Teams, etc.
Currently, I make very little(none)money on this blog so my personal recommendations are not mirages to shill for purely monetary gain.
Before Mac G's World sells out(Where you at Jack Daniels?)and thus loses valuable street/blogger cred, I wanted to highlight the magnificent work of some buddies.
Over the next few weeks, I will also "endorse" my favorite writers, musicians, DVDs, and whatever other random thing pops into my head.
The Inaugural Mac G endorsement is to my boy D at DEEZ DECKS. He hand-paints custom skateboard decks and they are fabulous pieces of art.
I have 2 decks, the Marley one pictured above and a board with the 6 original members of Widespread Panic, up at my own place. D has this art form mastered and they make great gifts for any occasion.
All decks are reasonably priced and easy to set up in your pad.
Have you tried to get a poster framed recently? Be prepared to bend over and grab your ankles upon entry at those framing stores. It cost me 250 bones to get three posters framed at Michaels awhile back and this was with the supposed 50% off too.
All you need is a hammer and a few nails as the decks come with holes that you can safely pound through into your wall. You could also balance it with one nail and some wire. Bam, Donedee.
D's fly work has a music theme to it but he is multi talented to all types of design. I think my next 2 board requests are Gilbert Arenas and Barack Obama.
Check out a few of his pieces down below and they are also available at his My Space profile and pictures.
