Every Little Thing Gonna Be Alright (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Livingston and their acquaintance with Mortimo Planno, became a major proponent of Jamaica’s singular religion, Rastafarianism. As such, he became a spokesman for the movement, an icon within it. Bob’s relationship with Rastafarianism is certainly complex. On the one hand, he never saw himself as anything more or less than a mouthpiece, a spokesperson for what he believed. While he mildly derided the gospel music his grandfather would listen to, he was making a kind of gospel of his own, preaching a gospel of Rastafarianism. Marley’s gospel, however, had his own personal bent, one that could be traced from “Simmer Down” through “Redemption Song”: “Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.” His take on his religion centered on what makes it—and most other religions, properly practiced—righteous: the ability of people to better themselves. On the other hand, the power of both his message and his faith inspired millions, not necessarily to become Rastafarians, but to respond to the heart of the message, to improve themselves and the way they interacted with their fellow man.
