That whole strain of songwriting is just endlessly rewriting "Subterranean Homesick Blues".<br /><br />But then I admit I don't quite get the Marley love a lot of people have. I am not against reggae as such. I have albums by Linton Kwesi Johnson and Judy Mowatt, but Marley just never "clicked" for me.
