father kids son
Some guys that know me from when I was a kid say "My son, oh he's just like your father." It's just a natural part of our lives. But, within the music industry and within the industry of the critiques of music, where it becomes "Ziggy's music is not as good as Bob's music," I don't understand. But I don't really pay much attention to that because I'm just expressing myself.
father responsibility son
The last thing my father told me was: 'On your way up, take me up. On your way down, don't let me down.' A father telling his son that puts some responsibility on my shoulders. He told me that, and I take it very seriously.
father son want
Each father wants their sons to be just like them, really.
song father stuff
It's hard to say a favorite song of my father's. I listen to all his stuff - a lot of the old stuff before the '70s.
song father intimidation
My father's songs don't intimidate me; my father's songs are my songs. My songs are his songs. There's no intimidation.
song wells
Some of my songs I don't do on tour because they don't work well live.
song night play
If I'm doing a concert, and I'm having a problem with the audience... I just play a Bob Marley song, and I'm good for the rest of the night.
spiritual song sex
In my songs, the sex is all subliminal. It's subliminal, spiritual.
american-journalist life physical
There's more to life than physical and materia.
Everyone will someday be judged for what they do, and Jah is the only judge.
american-journalist
If it is, it is, If it's not, it's not.
american-journalist guitar music pick
It's that kind of in-born music thing-I could pick up the guitar and play something. It's not something I consciously do.
guy happens jamaica music time
Even if I wasn't in music, even if my father was a carpenter, some guy in Jamaica would go 'You're just like Bob. You're just like your father.' That happens in Jamaica all the time.
I'd rather be by myself, really, than have, like, a million posse around me.
