Redemption Song

"Bob Marley is a staple in life, period," says Lillian Marsh, event coordinator for tonight's What About Bob? celebration. She has a point: The reggae master and activist — who would have been 63 now had he not passed away in 1981 at age 36 — is still influencing today's musical and cultural landscape. Exodus was named the greatest album of the twentieth century by Time magazine, and Will Smith's character in the blockbuster I Am Legend, Dr. Robert Neville, named Marley as a major influence in his philosophy of life.
