Legend

"Is This Love", "Three Little Birds", "Jammin'", "Buffalo Soldier", "I Shot the Sheriff", "Could You Be Loved"....Bob Marley's Legend album is not only one of my favorite albums of all time, but every single song holds a distict memory for me. The summer of '98 was quite possibly the best of my life. I was in between my sophomore and junior years of high school, and that summer epitomized what summers should be. Every single day was spent at the pool, or laying out on my deck covered in baby oil. I had absolutely nothing to do except work on my tan. No job, no school, no worries. And every single night was spent partying, having the time of my life. It was perfect. I listened to Legend every day as I laid beneath the scorching sun, and every time I hear Bob Marley, it takes me back to a time in my life when everything was absolutely, completely, and totally perfect.

OMG. Back in 2002-2003 I spent waaaaay too much time listening to Bob Marley. LEGEND was my gateway "drug" (pun intended).

It's impossible to hate Marley. All you can do is love him.
