Spanning the Generations

I teach teenagers every day. One thing that strikes me about my students is how they love Bob Marley as much as I do. Most of them were born at least 10-15 years after his death, and didn't come to know his music until 10 or so years after that. It really proves that his message and music are timeless. He unites generations in a way that few artists are able to do. It's truly amazing!
Bob himself knew this when he was living. He said, "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."
