Trying to figure out when he started speaking like his father and Marley brothers.
He was so adorable when he was younger.

My favourite Damian Marley song.
The way he gets right up into the camera is very effective.

So do you think we'll see Damian joining his brother on the polo field any time soon? (Jamaica already has a polo player with locks that are getting longer and longer.)

If I had an affair with a married man...mi would feel SO shame mi would just run and go hide. Mi wouldn't be giving speech 'bout 'i.
Lisa Hannah has a lovely accent BTW.
The religion obviously did her know good.
Funny my cousin went to the same school. She was head girl and she loved it.Last edited by Tropicana; 09-15-2014, 10:16 AM.Comment

What was surprising to me when I hear the stories of Bob's other women is that "they did not know he was married". How well was the marriage hidden?Originally posted by Tropicana View PostOut of Many One People Online

I know people who were living in Canada at the time and THEY knew he was married. How could she NOT know when she was on the same property. She need to stop saying this. She sounds ridiculous.
I thought she finally admitted she knew.
Xavier where does she say she didn't know. I can't find it on tape 1.Last edited by Tropicana; 09-17-2014, 07:06 PM.Comment

I an apology for this too. I posted this and said it was Cindi. Some beat me up and said it was NOT Cindi. Then why did she post it during the presentation as a photo of herself.

Here is another one...Esther Anderson:
Before Bob, you and Blackwell were going to marry; what happened?
Well, I was 14 when we met. We both had a rebellious streak and we enjoyed each other's company. I was invited to participate in the Jamaican Beauty contest, and that kept me really busy for almost two years. Then I flew to London with some fellow contestants. Something like a year later Chris was also in London and asked me to come live with him and build up Island Records. And that's what we did. I expected we would get married, but after Millie's success the money and the business changed Chris. And that was the end of us as a couple around 1964. From there on it was just developing the artistes and getting the music out of Jamaica, all the way until the Wailers came on the scene with Catch a Fire in 1973. I feel, I was really in love with Marlon Brando and him with me — but they made our lives very difficult. The British tabloids hounded us down
I grew up reading that Bob Marley was born into poverty in the small village of Nine Miles in the hills of Jamaica, that he had a hard childhood, very different from yours as the daughter of a Jamaican architect. How did this play out in your relationship?Bob was not poor. He grew up on his grandfather's farm. I went with Bob to the family house and it was a decent country farmhouse. They love to portray Jamaicans as dirt poor, that is the problem. When I went to Nine Miles with Bob, as far as your eyes could see was his grandfather's land. Full of ganja.
I also read that he was born Nesta Robert Marley and it was a Jamaican passport official who mixed up his first and middle names, and Robert Nesta Marley emerged. True or false?
As far as I know, it is Robert Nesta Marley, like his first born son whom I met as a baby.
You were a Miss Jamaica winner when you met Bob, "who check who first?" as we say in the Caribbean?
Bob told me when we met that he had followed my career in the Gleaner newspapers. And Dicky Jobson told me Bob was asking about me around the place.
Did you even know who he was at that time, or about his musical background?
Bob used to say the two of us dangerous together. And people say we were very powerful together. Bob knew I was a big movie star as he used to say, and asked me to help him, to help the Wailers.
What attracted him to you, and vice versa?
He appealed to me. But as the gardener said to me, after we broke up, "Bob was not steady." Had he been steadier, he would have probably lived longer.
Did the love flow easily or was he a hard man to love?
I am not ashamed to say I loved him very much. He was like a part of me, but he was married and I didn't know that. He never admitted that while he was alive.
Whenever talk turns to Marley in my household, my husband, a Brit, loves to push in his mouth to say (in pseudo Trini accent) to say "Bob Marley fadder was a white man!"
Bob said his father raped his mother. He didn't talk about his father. He had great affection for his grandfather though.
Is it true that Marley and Chris Blackwell famously refused to be photographed together? That there was a pact between them because Blackwell didn't want anything to detract from Marley's talent?
No, that is not so. I never saw them socialise together. But I have a few shots of them in the same frame in Trinidad.
Which songs did you help Bob Marley write? Is it true that he wrote "Waiting in Vain" for you?
The song he said he wrote for me is "My Woman is Gone". Our first song collaboration is "Get up Stand up", then "Burnin' and Lootin'". I brought him to meet Bongo Macky who composed and sang the "Rastaman Chant" (later appropriated by Island Records-The Wailers), "I Shot The Sheriff", "Revolution, Talkin' Blues", "Road o' Clock Block" and "Easy Skanking", finally turning Haile Selassie's UN speech into the song "War".
Do you communicate or are friends with any of the other famous women in Marley's life? Rita, Cedella, Cindy Breakspear?
No. Nuff said.Comment
