🎶 Bob Marley née Robert Nesta Marley (1945 – 1981)

[readyforevolution]

In 1978, Robert Nesta Marley "Bob Marley" returned to his home town after touring and living in the UK.

He was explaining to the youth in the pic that he was Bob Marley and that this was the place that he grew up in.

The young man didn't believe him, saying that he is not Bob Marley and that if he was famous, he would have never returned there, to the impoverished place.

When you hear the context of the story, it makes you cry a bit. Seeing how someone, who has made a name internationally, is returning humbly to his home village.

They said that the more money he made, the more he would give to the poor and fight for the poor. This is why this man remains an inspiration to so many!
