Bob Marley & Super Bowl

The New England Patriots defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 in Super Bowl XXXIX earlier this evening. This is by exactly the three point margin I predicted yesterday, although by four points more each. My thanks to my hosts, Derrick and Jean, for putting up some awesome wings and a place to watch the game.

Also, today is the birthday of a musical legend, Bob Marley. Bob would have been sixty today, and in honor of him, this is one of his songs which I think epitomizes the way he would have wanted the world.


War - By Bob Marley

Until the philosophy that holds one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war

That until there is no longer first class
And second class citizens of any nation
Until the color of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes
Me say war

Until the basic human rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion
To be pursued, but never attained
Now everywhere is war, war

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique
South Africa sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war, me say war

War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War, war, rumors of war

And until that day, the African continent
Will not know peace, we Africans will fight
We find it necessary and we know we shall win
As we are confident in the victory

Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil
Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil


See you when I see you
