#3 – Lively Up Yourself – Bob Marley & The Wailers (Island)
So I get a call from an editor at Phonograph Record Magazineasking me if I’d like to interview Bob Marley.
Well, yeah. When is he going to be in town?
Turns out he isn’t. Which I should’ve known, since I had onlyrecently seen Marley & The Wailers play an insanely great concertin Central Park (June 18, 1975), and that U.S. tour had ended inJuly.
There are tickets to Kingston being left for me at the Air Jamaicacounter, and a representative from Island Records will be downthere to see that everything goes smoothly, and, oh, this is a coverstory and the deadline is like in four days. Have fun. OK. This isaround the time of ‘Natty Dread,’ and Marley is blowing up. At thispoint, I am not really smoking much pot anymore. I’d had my littlefling (#) with grass when I was in college, but my friends hadstarted taking the whole drug thing too far for my liking, so when Istarted grad school, and started writing about film and music, I’dpretty much stopped getting high. This piece of information will beuseful as the tale unfolds.
Being a rock journalist in the ‘70s, even a second-tier one, was kindof a blast. Record companies were throwing press parties, andbuying lunches, and flying us around, and sending us boxes andboxes of LP’s. I mean, it wasn’t all wine & vinyl, and sometimes youhad to do stupid shit like fly to Virginia to see the Charlie DanielsBand, but nonetheless, it was fun, or at least fun-ish. Which a free(#) trip to Jamaica would qualify as, right?
I get to Kingston, and go to the hotel, and it is raining hard. Thattropical August rain. I meet the Island Records Guy, and it turnsout that Marley is not quite ready to be interviewed, so we shouldhang. If the sun had been out, I’d have grabbed a Red Stripe andenjoyed the pool. But there isn’t much to do in a downpour. Exceptwait for Marley. And wait. Finally, Island Guy decides that maybewe should be doing something productive, and he takes me to

interview Toots Hibbert of the Maytals, and Perry Henzell, thedirector of ‘The Harder They Come,’ and it looks like this piece isgoing to be more about reggae in general than Marley specifically. Ican live with that.
But the next morning, still no Marley. Still with the rain. I askIsland Guy if I can at least go into town and go record shopping.He’ll check. Umm, not advisable for a couple of white guys toventure into Kingston on their own, so we’ll have to get somebodyto escort us. This large Jamaican fellow shows up at the hotel anddrives us into town, where we have to dart out of the car, go to oneof those kiosks with a slot for the exchange of money (#) and 45s,which are ordered by title off a piece of paper taped to the wall,scramble back into the car, and split. Not my usual record-browsingexperience — usually, there isn’t much threat of bodily harm,unless I reach suddenly for some rare garage-band 45 that a rabidcollector has visually seized upon – but I do still have some ofthose singles…
All right. Finally, we get the call, and we go over to Marley’s house.Pleasantries are exchanged, and refreshments (fruit) are offered.Marley is smoking a joint. Only it’s not like any joint. You know howin ‘Sleeper,’ Woody Allen cavorts among giant vegetables? This isthe joint version of that. It is a megaphone of joints. If a normaljoint is a soprano flute, this is a baritone sax. Do I want some?Sure, I say, thinking the joint will be passed to me, I will try and liftit to my mouth, take a hit, pass it back, and get on with thepurpose of my visit. Nope. One of Marley’s aides rolls me one ofcomparable proportion. Uh…thanks?
Very quickly, I am stoned. But professional. I turn on the taperecorder and start asking questions, but there is a certain…hazydisconnect. I ask about a recent U.S. TV appearance, a show atMax’s he’d done a couple of years back with a young BruceSpringsteen, the recent death of Haile Selassie (“Can’t kill God,’Marley insists, which makes Selassie’s passing a non-issue),politics. I’m lobbing these softballs, but he’s playing soccer. It is aninterview remarkable only in its vagueness.
But surely there is enough here to cobble a piece for PRM. Stillbuzzed, I fly home to NY and plan to pull an all-nighter to meet mydeadline. I turn on the cassette player, and what I hear is stonedgibberish. Tick-tock. I dig out all my Marley records, my notes fromthe Hibbert and Henzell interviews, search my fuzzy brain forsnatches of what Marley said (he confused, somehow, BruceSpringsteen with Pete Wingfield of “Eighteen With A Bullet” fame,so that line of questioning was a dead-end), go to my manualtypewriter, and peck away. And collapse.
The next morning, I overnight my pages to PRM. The article wasn’tso memorable, but I get to tell people that I got really, really highwith Bob Marley at his home in Kingston, and they seem to find thisamusing.
