It is 20 years since Bob Marley died of cancer, his body laid to rest on a Jamaican mountaintop. But where Elvis and John Lennon have monuments, museums and disciples, the reggae star's legacy is less clear. They have a point.
Uncurried goats wander everywhere.
The mountaintop hamlet of Nine Miles, in the heart of St Ann, is almost unsignposted and accessible only by four-wheel drive. Marley, alongside Elvis Presley and John Lennon, is one of the 20th century's triumvirate of deceased musical patriarchs. Presley didn't invent rock'n'roll, but he made it viable. Lennon didn't invent lyrics or albums, but he made them matter. Marley didn't invent the reggae beat, but he introduced it to a world audience.
