“When the race gets hard to run, It means you just can’t take the pace. When it’s time to have your fun, You find the tears run on down through your face, Then you stop and think a little: Are you the victim of the system? Anyday now they gon’ let you down; Remember, Natty will be there to see you through." - Bob Marley

Promoter Rich Engler Talks About Marley’s Last Show:
“they came in to do a soundcheck. I was looking around for Bob and found him in the dressing room, sitting on the couch, looking depressed and ill. I said, ‘I heard you’re not feeling well. I’m concerned. I hope you’re feeling better. Are you going to play?’
"He said, 'Mon, I wasn’t going to, but I’m going to for my band and everybody. It’s a sold-out show. I’m going to do it.’ ”
