However, 5 years earlier (December 5, 1976) at a concert in Jamaica, Bob, his wife and manager were all shot by an unidentified gunman. They all survived the attack.
The concert was billed as a peace rally to quell growing political violence in the run-up to the country's national elections, but was viewed by many as a political rally by the sitting government. Bob was therefore accused of taking sides and is believed to have been attacked by gunmen aligned with the government's main political opponents.

By the late 1960s, reggae was getting radio play in the United Kingdom on John Peel's radio show, and Peel continued to play much reggae during his career. Reggae has always had a fairly large following in the United Kingdom, especially during the 1970s and 1980s. In the second half of the 1970s, the UK punk rock scene was starting to take off, and some punk DJs played reggae records during their DJ sets. Certain punk bands, such as The Clash, The Slits and The Ruts incorporated reggae influences into their music. Reggae includes several subgenres, such as roots reggae, dub, lovers rock and dancehall.
Musical characteristicsReggae is always played in 4/4 time or swing time because the symmetrical rhythm pattern does not lend itself to other time signatures such as 3/4 time. Harmonically, the music is often very simple, and sometimes a whole song will have no more than one or two chords. The Bob Marley and the Wailers song "Exodus" is almost entirely comprised of A-minor chords. These simple repetitious chord structures add to the hypnotic effect that reggae sometimes has. However, Marley also wrote more complex chord structures, and the band Steel Pulse have often used very complex chord structures.reggae?method=26&initiator=WANS

He was very important to the black community because he did many concerts to contribute to many different aids. He is an idol to many people. In his songs he has many different meanings including love and peace keeping. To many people he was a god. He is truly a hero.
Does Bob Marley have lyrics with figurative language?
yes he has. One example would be "burning and looting" in this song he says .."this morning I woke up in a curfew, oh god I was a prisoner too,
could not recognise the faces standing over me, they were all dressed in brutality,....." and then talks about burning and looting. But as he explains in one interview, he did not mean literally burning down the town, instead he was talking about burning certain things out of our minds so we, as humans, can live together in harmony.
I am sure he has other figurative songs as well.

Who wrote the song get up stand up by Bob Marley?
the meaning is in the lyrics themselfs, get up and stand up for your rights, not to accept bullying in any shape or form. Here's something to ponder on. There's the line "we're sick and tired of your ism-schism game, dying to go to heaven in Jesus' name" Yet, can a man who preaches "one love" as a theme throughout all of his, truly inspired, songs, can he actually be bringing down the very God of one love? Is it not more likely that Mr Marley was, just as he said sick and tired of those "Christians" who find salvation in Jesus, but do no more than sit upon church pews week after week and go no further? Or was he sick of the whole "Babylon system" of hierarchical religion (which oppresses its members and looks down on other faiths)? Hasn't the throne of Babylon "gone down"? Are we experiencing the great falling away which was prophesied? Aren't true followers of Jesus Christ realizing that they carry about within themselves the true church, and as they are the "Body of Christ" they don't need the church of the Babylon system? Perhaps all men of all faiths who truly live their lives in "One Love," opening their hearts to the truth are in actual fact living in the true Spirit of God. So long as we continue to label others as Muslim, Christian, Rastafarian, we abide not in the truth, in the fullness of the Spirit of love. "All have sinned and fall short of God." We are all equal, equal in the sight of God, equal in our fallen nature. Keep listening to the songs for Mr Marley wrote from the heart and his heart was ever-seeking God. Mr Marley said, "if you listen carefully you will hear," or as Jesus himself said "whosoever hears these sayings of mine and acts on them, I will liken him to a wise man, which built his house upon a rock." Listen then with your heart and the truth will continually speak to you, call to you. Be not deceived, "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest" (Paul Simon) If you desire in your heart to know God, to know the truth, then He will give you ears with which to hear, He will speak to your heart, and you will "let love come flooding in." If you want to debate it all your life then you are free to do so. Likewise, if you want to live for love and be the blessed servant of God (as did Mr Marley) then make that your hearts desire instead. Tell Him. In the line following, "We know when we understand, a mighty God is a living man," it's possible that Mr Marley was simply re-phrasing, paraphrasing Jesus' own words when He said, "You know not what manner of Spirit you are from." Mr Marley is telling us that he too is merely a man, a man who did his best to walk with the Lord, perhaps. But we need to understand this clearly. We need to understand it in our hearts, in the Spirit of love. Else we fail to see that by truly living for Jesus, by being completely immersed in his Spirit, we will not realise that we are of THAT Spirit. Once you understand it, you see. Once you understand it, once you walk it like you talk it, then you can realise that in a living man, mighty God can be all you ever desire. When you live wholly, completely for love, you have then given your life to it. And when you give your life to Jesus you give your life back to God, to love where it belongs. When people are wholly living in Jesus, then all that people around them can really see is Jesus shining through - they just don't know that that's what they see. Perhaps they think they can see a good man, a holy man, but a man wise in humility knows that that's not the case, that that's not the truth. Once you have accepted the fullness of the Spirit of love, then you will see that "a mighty God is a living man." We don't/wont become individual gods. We don't become great in ourselves. But the light and glory of God in us. I hope and pray that this may be helpful.
Sean Paul is definitely not dead but a boy was killed on the same block Sean Paul lived on and some may think he's dead because people said his music was murder but that doesn't mean anything so no Sean Paul is not dead but he doesn't live on that block anymore.And I no because I have seen him like a month ago with Rihanna and I have excellent sources so even if I didn't see him I would still be able to prove he was alive.
Did Bob Marley believe in jesus?
Bob Marley was a member of the Rastafari movement, whose culture was a key element in the development of reggae.
in otherwords he was related to the religion Jehovah's witnesses
Actually, Bob Marley was baptised into the Ethiopian "Orthodox" Church before he died. I put the word Orthodox in quotations because it is actually not Orthodox, having been separated from the Orthodox over a heresy about the nature of Christ that the Ehtiopians adopted in the first millennium. This is a serious heresy and cannot be dismissed or minimalized. However, in most aspects they are very similar to the Orthodox Church, aka the Eastern Orthodox Church. So, Marley did not die as a Rastafarian. "indeed he was"
