Bob Marley wird Namensgeber für die erste weltweite Cannabis-Marke

Keine Ahnung, wie Bob Marley selber das heute finden würde. Aktuell weiß ich nicht mal genau, wie ich das finden soll – ich überlege mir das noch, aber irgendwie ist das ja auch nur konsequent. Laut Hollywood Reporter hat die Marley-Familie mit Marley Natural ein Unternehmen an den Start gebracht, dass sich weltweit dem Vertrieb von Cannabis-Produkten widmen wird.

Marley Natural Fine Cannabis will be a “premium cannabis brand” inspired by the late singer. As well as slinging ‘erb (“heirloom Jamaican cannabis”, sold as buds, concentrate, or oils), the company will also sell a range of branded goods, ranging from smoking accessories to “hemp-infused lotions and balms.”

Perhaps surprisingly, the business is a legit corporate affair: branding agency Heckler Associates – whose other clients include Starbucks – are involved, and the Marley family have the backing of private equity firm Privateer Holdings. The latter’s CEO had the following to say:

“Bob Marley started to push for legalization more than 50 years ago. We’re going to help him finish it. … We’re committed to social change, environmental sustainability and building a professional, responsible and legal cannabis industry.”

DJ Vadim – Bob Marley Megamix2

Ich habe lange nicht Marley gehört und hatte noch länger schon keinen Marley-Mix mehr im Blog. Aber wenn DJ Vadim sich bequemt, einen neuen Megamix mit den Liedern des Meisters aufzunehmen, kann ich gleich beides auf einmal machen, auch wenn “Megamix” an sich ja immer irgendwie ein bisschen nach Dorfbums klingt.

I couldnt resist. He is a legend. Arguably one of the most important singer songwriters of the 20th century. Some would say it is elvis or the beatles or bob dylan etc. the list is long but i would argue that few have had the global impact Marley had. if u go to townships in africa, who will they know? if u go tot the slums in peru or philipines or mongolia. its bob all the way. and thats the thing. He wrote some of the most beautiful love songs and protest songs at the same time. he touched the rich and the poor, the down trodden and even the political elite of his time.
on a recent tour in the US, i was genuinly shocked how few americans knew bob marley. ppl will say, bollocks vad. but tis true. time and time again, ppl in america just didnt know reggae. im not talking about the jamicans who live on flat bush av in BK. im talking main street USA. if ppl had heard of him, they wouldn b able to mention a song. So i was like, wow. im gonna do a little mix of alternative marley songs. not just Legend but others songs that people may not have heard. my favourite is WAR. the lyrics taken from emperor haille salasie speech to the United Nations…. wat a speech. How many politicians would be able to elequently express them selves like that nowadays…
enjoy. The spirit of bob marley continues.
