I'm renting the movie Marley this evening. Anyone seen it? It looks great!!

Saw it at the Hollywood theater, in Portland when it came out. Epic movie.

 

I knew Kevin Macdonald in college...

 

Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston are great in it and the dog is so cute!

 

I HATED that movie! *sniff*

My dog, and best buddy, Sammy, ran off (to die, I suppose) in an Atlantan thunderstorm. One of the saddest times of my life.

 

Does it come with joints?

 

Bob Marley was a cultural phenomenon, despite (or, dare I say, "in light of") his recreational/spiritual choices.

 

Ya, mon!

 

You're such the wannabe.

 

Ya, mon.

 

Wow, great movie!

For some reason, when I think of Bob Marley, in the same vein, I also think Hendrix, Joplin, Vaughan, Cobain, and to a lesser extent, Winehouse.

 

....oh, and had meant to add Gaye to that list, as well.

Basically, musicians, singers, and/or songwriters who had (fill in the blank here) impact.....and died way too early.

 

Otis Redding! Guy recorded Sitting on the Dock of the Bay 3 days before he died. 3 fucking days. One of my favorite records I own is Otis Redding and Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop festival. Otis died something like 6 months later and Jimi a couple years later.

 

And another thing....Otis did it in ONE take!

 

I need to see this movie, but I keep forgetting (lol)
