“Every need got an ego to feed.” If that’s not the lyric of a master, than nothing is. “Pimper’s Paradise,” from 1980’s Uprising LP, is one of Bob’s best songs. Anyone else obsessed with the way he sings “Well-ell aelll..?” How about the line, “Now she is blusing when there ain’t no blues…?” I’m not really sure what he means by that line, but it makes my spine shiver every time…in the good way. “She loves to smoke, sometimes shifting coke, now she is laughing when their ain’t no joke, a pimper’s paradise.” My God, this song is genius. Not that anyone’s comparing or asking, but Bob was every bit the brilliant songwriter that John Lennon or Bob Dylan were. I’d go even further to say that he was more natural and fiercely unique than those two guys, as it never seemed that Bob, who struggled greatly in his life, never struggled with being himself like Johnny or Zim. Please vote!
Welcome to part 88 of my youtube countdown! Today I have a beautifully rare studio take of Bob Marley singing his 1980 masterpiece, “Could You Be Loved,” from Uprising. This is probably my favorite Bob Marley song for those keeping score at home. It has everything I love in a Marley song; that driving irresistible reggae rhythm, philosophical lyrics about love and self worth, and a perfect-genius-catchy melody, (a P.G.C.M.) This video cuts Marley signing a rough vocal crossed with shots of him and others playing some soccer in Jamaica, Bob’s other passion. This is one of those clips where a video is worth a million words, so just watch. P.S., I got a secret internet wish. If someone has an extra pair of the headphones Bob is sporting in this vid, please don’t be shy, and mail me a pair. Just email me. ; )
