Have always loved it so much. I saw Bob Marley perform live back in my teen years. He ran in place throughout the entire set. Talk about getting up and standing up. What a force.

If I had the power to do so, and if there were such a category, I would nominate this song as the pan-national anthem.

But then I actually debated whether to post it, hoping in no way it would be seen as an endorsement by the faux freedom anti-vaccine anti-mask crowd.
How lucky were you to actually see Bob Marley, I've seen Ziggy, Sunday was Bob Marley's Birthday, there's always a festival somewhere that day and Ziggy's going on the road
