Missing the Point

bobmarley

Bob Marley must be spinning in his grave, and this time it's not because he's insanely high. Despite living a life dedicated to the propagation of peace and love, fucking businessmen have come forth and spawned greed and embitterment in the prolific reggae man's name, tainting his music, his family and his memory.

The family of Bob Marley has refused to license any of his music for a biopic that the Weinstein Co. is prepping — despite the fact that his widow, Rita Marley, is its executive producer.

The reason? There is a competing Martin Scorsese documentary being produced by the Marley family-owned Tuff Gong Pictures and Steven Bing's Shangri La banner, the first theatrical docu to license Marley songs.

Oh, pirate ships.

    Scout, you are a douchebag. Jennifer Aniston will never be your best friend, and your husband is never coming back. Sorry, bitch.

    What's going with the evil evil? Anywho, Bob Marley has been a "brand" for far too fricken long. Check your local headshop for examples, this shit doesn't surprise me. Also, what Billy said, Scorcese will pwn that shit.

    Uh, marke, The Bob Marley looking for love on your website for wealthy men is obviously a fake, just like you. There was only one Bob Marley and he has been dead since 1981. Speaking of fakes, somone needs to grow up and stop impersonating the original and entertaining Evil Twin. We know the real E.T. links to her name.

    Hi Evil Twin! It looks like you are famous. You have your own impersonator/stalker. I'm so jealous!

    Elle, Cord has removed marke's spam that prompted my response. Even spamming has hit a new low when someone posts that dead celebrities are looking for love on dating sites for wealthy men.
