Customer Reviews: Bob Marley January 18, 2007 Bob Marlet was born in St. Anns Jamica and as a child moved to the ghetto of Kingston or Trench Town. As Bob grew so did his passion for music. He loved to sing and even made his own guitar. Bob joined the Rastafari religion. He lived a very simple and peaceful life. He would only unprocessed food and smoked ganja. When Bob grew older some people tryed kill him. He got shot in the chest and left arm. At the age of 37 Bob died in Miami Florida of toe cancer. Rasta Bob February 8, 2005 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Bob Marley was born in Jamaica to a young black woman and a white British captain. His dad never married his mom and he grew up poor in the ghetto called Trench town. He became friends with a man who lived near him and he taught him how to play a guitar and sing. Bob learned to play quickly and he wrote a lot of songs about growing up poor and the political problems in his country. The poor people of Jamaica loved him because he understood how they felt. However, the government did not care for his songs or how he spoke out about problems in the country. He became a rastafarian and he lived his life according to their teachings. He grew his hair out in dredlocks and lived a simple life. He ate and drank only products that are produced from the land. He believed that people should just love one another and get along. He eventually was marked by his own government and the CIA. He received death threats and was shot and had to leave the country. He came back to Jamaica years later and sang a concert and was successful in getting the two government parties in Jamaica to shake hands. He died at the age of 37 from cancer.
