Of course it is. If I were writing the book, I'd make darned sure it's in there. Probably in multiple places. Wouldn't you?

Yessir.

Of course, my book would have my head superimposed on Fabio's body on the cover.

It's a cultural thing. What's truly amazing is that both of them have some talented offspring. Julian marley, Damian , stephen, Kymani are all famous musicians with thier own albums. They sing/ play instruments too.

Aston Barrett junior, I've seen n met while he gigs for Julian marley on bass and rhythm guitar, and saw him playing with the wailers and his poppa holding down the keys.

Aston Barrett jr plays a 70s jazz bindings and sunburst. So nice, he was switching off between guitar and the jazz, another fellow was swtching to 6 string bass when Aston putthe jazz down. Cool stuff, nice people too.

By no means am I putting Marley or Family Man down. As you said, there is culture involved, and in the case of Marley, the kids are all well off.

Bob might have been busy but 'Family Man' didn't get his nickname for being a 'uninspired'.

No link. My bad. I thought about linking to the wiki page but I figured you would be looking for something to do.

No need for thanks

Not impotent; infertile. But I would say that the Marley/Barret data points must have been left out of that analysis.
