There's been scandalously little written about John Coltrane, a man of inestimable musical and cultural impact. Those scraps accessible to the seeker of biographical information available from liner notes, the odd interview, or hearsay, and the story the music itself told, added up to a mystique--Coltrane was/is a saint, at least. So it was with great excitement and the expectation that I'd finally be able to get to a little reality concerning this man's life that I acquired this book.
It was horrible. I was so excited when I learned I would have the opportunity to speak with Ziggy Marley before his appearance this Saturday, July 15, with The Tedeschi Trucks Band at the TCU Lawn downtown. First, the interview was delayed because of technical issues, and when the call finally came in, it took a few tries to connect and have my recording app connect.

By that time, I was completely unnerved. I was talking to the elder son of Bob and Rita Marley, the defacto prince of reggae, whose song "Tumblin' Down" kept me from making a really, really bad decision during a particularly bad acid trip back in the early 90s. So being the dumbass I am, I mumbled a few questions and heard myself saying goodbye 8 minutes into the interview. 8 fucking minutes. I sat there after the interview, mortified, wondering if I should try to call back. But it was too late. I blew it. Like the idiot I am. Absolutely the worse interview of my life. Thank god Ziggy was professional enough for both of us.
Expect Ziggy to pull out some of his dad's classics, some Melody Maker hits, and a few of his solo hits like "Beach In Hawaii" and "Love Is My Religion." Trust me, it will be a far better show than this discombobulated interview I conducted. I can guarantee that.
K: Well shout out to Irie Vibez Productions in Milwaukee who set up this interview...a specific question from Ras Adam of Irie Vibez is: When can we expect a second live album with the family all together again?
I had the opportunity to interview Marley several hours after that September 1980 concert. It was to be one of his last. The Wailers [then] traveled to Providence, Rhode Island, for a show at Brown University and went from there to New York. *Following two extraordinary shows at Madison Square Gardens, where the Wailers finally performed before a predominantly African-American audience while outshining the Commodores, Marley collapsed while jogging in Central Park. The extent of his illness became apparent. The Wailers made their final appearance in Pittsburgh a few days later.
I mean, you would hear special resaonings of course, you'll hear a lot of memories and reminiscing. Family-wise, you would hear memories from my father or from our uncles, you would see them posting pictures or even just speaking to us in an environment talking about 'I remember when Daddy did this or when he came from Africa or when Daddy did this interview or when he was in Italy.' So, we always hear those reflections, speaking about those things, about the role that he played not only as family member and father, but also in the world and the impact he had on the Reggae community and the Reggae culture, the roots, bringing forward the message of Rastafari and love, over all love...
To me it's normal, I guess, it is special, but it's a regular thing to me, we speak about grandpa and every day you'll hear a story. For example, something could a happen, growing up, with me or one of my sibglings, and you hear my father say 'Boy this reminds me of me and Ziggy and I remember Daddy did this and he disciplined us.'. You'll always hear those likkle things there and it puts a smile because you kind of see back that same thing, not only hearing it but also seeing grandpa through his children and grandchildren. That influence, something that I watch my father do and I'm influenced by it and I have this interaction, the same facial features or the same... you know, they say 'You do this the same way, Stephen got that from his dad, whenever Ziggy does this it reminds me of Bob!' It comes down to even the grandchildren, watching their mannerism, you know. It's family to us, it's normal to me, but it's still special.

The first time I interviewed Ziggy Marley was 20 years ago, when we were both 26. He was touring behind Joy & Blues, his fourth album with the Melody Makers (working alongside siblings Cedella, Stephen and Sharon Marley). I was in my second year as a music journalist, just dipping my toes into the waters of celebrity interviews. As a huge Bob Marley fan I was in awe, sitting on a sofa, shrouded in smoke, literally surrounded by his offspring.
"And I think the only one who knew that was Bob," Simon adds, referencing a 1979 interview where Marley described wealth as "life forever." Indeed, the music of Bob Marley and his contemporaries is timeless and a high watermark in reggae music.
Immediately after taking in the incredible Static VI video we reached out to Josh Stewart about doing a Backstory interview for the blog. We're happy the stars aligned on this one, find out more about three moments in the video from Josh's perspective...

Additionally, we are conducting a One Health research project that evaluates the impact of Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) on disease surveillance in the Northeast region of Ghana, specifically concerning production animals. This has involved administering questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to community members, CAWHS, para-veterinarians, and veterinarians. Really interesting, and an incredible opportunity to understand the health challenges faced by farmers, families, and communities! 9af72c28ce
