By Aaron Holm -
Good morning Wilderness, and what a beautiful morning it is in the Twin Cities. The spectacle is finally over and the world around us is slowly shedding away its big game feeling. Perhaps I'm a bit cynical at my age, or maybe it's just my desire to avoid unruly mobs at all costs. Full disclosure, I did venture into the Mall of America just get a taste of the hype. What a zoo.
All that aside, today is a pretty big day. As you may or may not be aware, today is today is the late, great Bob Marley's birthday. Well, maybe. Shoddy birth records in Jamaica makes this unclear, but today is the day most recognize. An icon in the music world, singing songs of peace and love and who widely popularized reggae music to the world. A genre where he is just the pinnacle on an iceberg of some really good if not really unique music.
Bob Marley was taken from the world in the Spring of 1981, dying of skin cancer. His music, will live on forever.
