Bob Marley was a big influence on my during High School . the very persona of Marley appealed to me including the RASTA culture that came with it. The Reggae, The Skank & the Cannabis- It all made sense to me during my highschool education .... It was a way of partaking in some sort of rebellion that was real & tangible for me to access... It was also something i could believe in when an education system wouldnt give me faith ... I found faith in "getting high" & listening to classic reggae & dub including Bob Marley
