RamblingBookNerd | Jun 5, 2019 |   It's sad to know that he didn't have the truly close relationship he should have had with his siblings as they grew up and even in their early adult years. They have tried to make things work out with their relationships, but like most families, sometimes, it's just a struggle. There were some parts of this book that I could relate to as far as feeling like the black sheep sometimes and not going in the direction your family thinks you should go. It was confirmation for me that you sometimes have to go against what others think you should do and go with your own flow, what makes you happy and content with your life. If the Most High is happy with the way your life is going and/or your willing to go with His guidance, then that's all that you need to do...forget what others think you should do (if you know that's not for you) and just do you! This book is about making things happen in life that will leave a positive force in your life and hopefully in the life of others. Making positive changes in your life and getting rid of the negative. And that your past is just that, your past...You can't change it, just find a way to build on it and turn into a learning opportunity for you and the people you come across in life. Don't allow anyone to hold against you what you have done in your life...Just Be You! That's all you can ever be. Don't try to be anyone else...You were born an individual, not a carbon copy... The reason this book got a 4/5 was because there was much of it that I found kind of boring many times and was just reading to get past it. Many times things were repetitive and could have just been said once but I guess he felt he had to make his points. And it was like it was written for those who have gone through and/or going through what he has dealt with in his life. Growing up in the areas he grew up in. Quite a bit of cursing throughout much of the book, but it is who he is so I had to just get over it and finish the book. After waiting so long to read the book, I can say it is well worth the read and finding out he felt growing up and feeling like the outcast in the Marley family sometimes. I didn't have a lot of expectations for this book so it wasn't a disappointment at all for me. It was a bit different than I did expect though. I know, I just said I didn't have expectations but I meant I didn't expect it to be amazing! So, it held up on that end. But I did learn more than I ever knew about the Marley Boys/Sons. :-) (  ) MsBridgetReads | Jul 8, 2014 | nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The Marley surname perpetuates Jamaican royalty, resonates from worldwide recognition and represents the pioneer of a cultural, political and social revolution. In the near-thirty years since the death of the world's greatest reggae-music icon, music lovers, truth seekers, and a new generation of social-activists alike have flocked to the musical catalog of Bob Marley like new believers on a pilgrimage for soul inspiration. Though Marley's iconic life was cut short before his time, his legacy lives on as vibrantly as it did when he walked among us. This is not only true because of his timeless music, but because of the musical genius of the extraordinary children he left behind. Born in Falmouth, Jamaica in 1976 as the tenth son of legendary reggae icon Bob Marley, Ky-Mani Marley discovered his musical talents late in life, rising to become an international music artist and film actor. Ky-Mani has not only written and performed songs of redemption around the world, like his famous father, but has lived and survived to recant his own personally redemptive story in the face of some very stark urban realities unbefitting any human, let alone a 'Marley.' Dear Dad, is an arresting narrative of a son locked out of his iconic father's shelter for the first half of his life and forced to survive the poverty-stricken, predator-infested streets of one of Miami's most violent ghettos, Liberty City. Initially estranged from his siblings and cut off from any financial benefit of the Marley Estate, young Ky-Mani's gritty ascent from a bullet-riddled life to the world stages he now commands as a Grammy-nominated recording artist are chronicled in this gripping biography. Today a dedicated father and family man traveling to all corners of the world, performing no less than 100 shows per year, Marley knew he¹d reached a plateau of transformation in his life when he was named 'Philanthropist of the Year' by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, Better World Awards. His life is truly a 'redemption song.' Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
