Bob Marley

"Diagnosis

In July 1977, Marley was found to have malignant melanoma in a football wound on his right hallux (big toe). Marley refused amputation, citing worries that the operation would affect his dancing, as well as the Rastafarian belief that the body must be "whole"

Bob Marley
Rasta no abide amputation. I don't allow a man to be dismantled.

Bob Marley

—From the biography Catch a Fire

Marley may have seen medical doctors as samfai, confidence men who cheat the gullible by pretending to have the power of witchcraft [citation needed]. He finally agreed to undergo minor surgery to excise the cancer, which was kept secret from the public."
-Wikipedia

Aside from this,
Imagine the world we'd have today if we all followed the easy going ways of Bob. Rather than building weapons or chemical death, we'd be supporting life and enjoyment, respect for all.
Marley is one of those people you'd want to go back in time to hug.
He left so much love.
Robert Nesta Marley

My sig shows how he felt about being half white.

I know he refused to let the doctors operate on his toe that was malignant, said it would make him unbalanced on stage. Thats strong willed for ya.

My god, so true man. PURE LEGEND. He was burried with bud. I imagine that somewhere in space, floating in the great cosmic and heavnely beyond, is bob marley, yes bob marley HIMSELF, except, its a replica of him, cast in solid 24 carrot gold, and speckled with the finest jewels from all over the mines of jamaca. And in that place, yes in that VERY place, is a place many religions refer to as NiRvAnAa. im so high right now
