“I got a pain in my throat and head, and it’s killing me.
It’s like somebody’s trying to kill me.
I feel like I’ve been poisoned, and something wrong with my voice.
I’ve never felt like this before in my life.”

– Bob Marley, August, 1980
(3 years after cancer diagnosis, died 3/4 years later — p. 106)

“It’s a universal, international message.
Cause you get up and quarrel every day.
You really just saying prayers to the Devil,
because the Devil like you when you war and quarrel every day.”

– Bob Marley, June, 1976
(p. 56)
