Stir it up, little darlin', stir it up, me on, baby

As time goes by and soulful music like this fades, only to be replaced by manufactured junk, humanity fades with it.

We need to stay focused.

Stay together.

Keep humanity alive.

Keep the message of Bob alive.

For humanity.

I am. I was a HUGE fan in my late teens in the 70's of Bob Marley, still am. I had all his albums in vinyl. Lol .Going through a tough, serious illness, and I'm here reminiscing. My soul feels better, lighter, listening to his music. He had such wisdom. It saddens me to see all the divisiveness in the world today. He was truly a force for good. โค

@SuenosDeLaNoche

Still sounds as good as it did way back then. Irie!
