If Bob Marley was alive today, what would he be doing.....

Well old thread, but id missed this before.

He'd be a judge on xfactor.

 

[krtek a houby]

He'd be recording a back to roots album, like the ones Cash did with Rubin...

 

[Dillinger4]

I think he would be dead

 

[stupid dogbot]

He'd be telling Damian off for using Joss fucking Stone on Distant Relatives. I mean... Joss Stone!

 

[sim667]

Joss Stone!

totally would though.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Maybe, if she promised not to fucking sing.

I think Kurt would be doing something similar to Sonic Youth - just trundling along, not really caring if he sells a truckload of records. Grohl would be off in Foo Fighters, so it would be Kurt, Krist and someone else. Nirvana would be back on Sub Pop. "Teen Spirit" would be like "Creep" is to Radiohead - only wheeled out on very rare occasions.

Jeez, just noticed the OP was from 2005...

He'd be like James Brown was in the final years. He'd be something along the lines of an odious old substance-abusing fascist with a large number of children, current/former wives and girlfriends, all hideously abused.

Why?

Rita Marley has claimed that he cheated around relentlessly and when she stopped having sex with him because of it he raped her.
Didn't get the name Tuff Gong for nothing either, there's a story that he beat Lee Perry brutally in front of his kids - nice guy.

That, then add another 30 years of hero-worship, megawealth and weed smoking.
