Re: Random clicky poll inside

  • I recognize the one they occasionally put on Nick Jr, but I can't think of the name...  something with birds???

    Hisw son Ziggy Marley has a children's CD out and sometimes they play songs from it on Kids Place Live.

  • My parents love to go to the Caribbean and listen to Bob Marley, so yeah, they know who he is and I do too!

  • I can't imagine anyone who doesn't know who he is or any of his music, but I guess they are out there!

    My mother never has apparently!

    Last night she says "what song is this" - I said "no woman no cry."  She says 'I've never heard it before." I said "mom its a bob marley song."  "Who?" 

    I can see maybe not having heard his songs, but having never even heard his NAME??   My father never has either.

  • I answered yes.  I'm pretty sure my dad would also say yes, my mom- I don't know.  My 4 year old also knows who Bob Marley is thanks to Nick Jr.  But we have introduced her to other songs since she loves "Three Little Birds" so much.

  • I think a lot of people wouldn't be able to name his songs but when you list them or sing them, they'd be like, "Oh yeah!  THAT song!  I had no idea that was him".  I'm that way with Bob Seger.

    Yep, exactly what I was thinking.

    This would probably be my mom's response as well.  I would estimate that she has very little knowledge of popular music made after 1966.

  • I'm sure I would have known who he was anyway, but the guy I had a crush on all through high school was a huge Bob Marley fan.

    My Dad would definitely know him, and would probably be able to name a song or two. He'd have known more years ago - his memory just isn't what it used to be.

    My Mom *might* recognize the name, but that's a stretch. She definitely wouldn't be able to name songs.

  • I am 100% sure that my mom would be able to name and/or sing several bob marley songs off the top of her head.  She's not a fair test though since she's youngish to have kids my age and acts even younger than she is.

    My IL's...that's another story.  I'll have to quiz them next time I see them because I'm really curious now.
