Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are talking about
In Honour of Bob Marley week we are talking
BOB MARLEY FACTS
1. Bob Marley was a white Jamaican originally from Sussex, England, whose family claimed Syrian Jewish origins.
2. Marley was named Nesta Robert Marley.
3. A Jamaican immigration official suggested to Bob’s mom that “Nesta” sounded too much like a girl’s name. So they switched his name to Robert Nesta Marley
4. As a little kid, Bob had a knack for deeply spooking people by successfully predicting their futures by reading their palms. At seven, having just returned to his rural village after a year spent living in the ghettos of Kingston (Jamaica’s capital), he declared that from then on he would cease to read palms.
5. In 1955, when Bob Marley was 10 years old, his father died of a heart attack at the age of 70.
