  • “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”
    Those were the sentiments of Bob Marley, a man who believed that music had the power to bring us all closer together in peace and unity. Even if you are not a fan of reggae, you still know who Bob Marley was and chances are that you still like a few of his songs. Marley took a new and innovative sound that was mostly confined to the concert halls and radio waves of Jamaica and used it to create music that became not only international but timeless.

      Simon has his own channels. Perhaps he can start his own top ten.

    I remember first finding out about Karl's channel from a plug Simon dropped years ago, possibly when Karl stopped writing here. Good to see you Karl and your concrete wall...

    Bob's music always had (and has) qualities that extend far beyond the notes and chords. There's a spirituality, resilience and pride. For me, I find a certain calm that his music envelops me with, and 4 decades on it still works. Thanks for this episode.

    You mentioned football. What Americans call soccer. However, it was actually the British that first coined the term soccer. Ultimately they went back and started referring to it as football again. It is a common misconception that Americans coined the term soccer.

    It's been a while since I've watched any Fact Fiend, but I'm super happy to see Karl around. I miss Simon, but there are plenty of other channels to see him on :D
