THE GUN SHOT ROOM
On December 3rd, 1976, two days before "Smile Jamaica", a free ...concert organised by the then Jamaican Prime Minister Mr Michael Manley, Bob Marley, Nana Rita and Bob's manager, the late Mr Don Taylor, were wounded from gunshots by unknown gunmen inside 56 Hope Road, Kingston.
Mr Taylor and Nana Rita sustained serious injuries but later made full recoveries.
Bob received minor wounds in the chest and arm.
The shooting took place in what we now call, The Gun Shot Room.
I paid a visit last Friday and the chill is still there.
Bless.

SMILE YOUR IN JAMAICA
I said ‘Smile you’re in Jamaica’. I didn’t say ‘Smile Jamaicans, be a Jamaican’. I don’t deal with that, a whole bag o’fuckery that.
