    Just a point of clarification. Bob Marley's birthday, February 6, is NOT a national holiday in Jamaica, by any standard. He was a great musician songwriter and we do credit him with the propulsion of the reggae movement. However, contrary to popular belief, while he is fairly honored in his country of origin, he is NOT worshipped or revered as much as in most of the rest of the world, or, more specifically, the USA.
