Musical effects

Bob Marley was an influence as both a person, and a musician. He himself was a very opinioned, religous, and strong man. His music was extremely influential in not only melody and beat and the music itself, but also the lyrics and the expression of his voice as he sang them and the look on his face while singing the lyrics. Its as though he's telling a story that he's experienced and he is putting you in that state of mind thats very relaxed but yet it angers you at the same time just because of the powerful lyrical content.  The religion that he followed was called Rastafarianism.  This was practically an anti-white , anti-brown religion that was based on the thought that all blacks are superior to everyone and everything else. They believed that someday blacks would rise up and "rule the world" But the part that confuses alot of people is that Bob Marley and his Rastafari followers were all supposedly peace loving humans that wanted nothing more than for people to get along yet their religion tought superiority and cruelness.
