Bob Marley is a household name and his legacy stands for peace and one-ness with humanity (as well as smoking the dankness with your college buddies). But his legacy was almost cut short by violence. In 1976, while home in Jamaica, his house was shot up and he took some minor gunshot wounds. He was 2 days away from playing a concert in support of Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley amidst a tense political race, so it was likely a political move to undermine Michael Manley and his event, but Bob Marley played the show in spite of his injuries, saying "The people who are trying to make this world worse aren't taking a day off. How can I?" Although he performed the concert, he still made his exodus from Jamaica to what would be his new home in England. In "Exodus", Marley draws from all of his experiences from Babylon to Zion, and he takes you on that journey.
