An appendix to the new edition chronicles Marley's legacy in recent years, as well as the ongoing controversy over the possibility that Marley's remains might be exhumed from Nine Mile, Jamaica, and reburied in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where hundreds of Rastafarians live. The new edition also contains an expanded discography and is factually updated throughout. <p/>Probably the finest biography ever written about a popular musician. --<i>San Francisco</i><i> Chronicle</i> <p/>As close as rock journalism comes to transcendent literature.<br><i>--Playboy</i> <p/>White has a deep appreciation for reggae's immediacy, hypnotic power, and contradictions . . .
