Something that has been anoying me for the past 2 years was the abundant number of douch bags who consider themselves Bob Marley fans. Don't get me wrong, I love Bob Marley and his music but people who have yet to listen to the CD Legend, and who confuse the Bobby McFerrin classic "Don't Worry be Happy" for a Marley song have no right to consider themselves fans. An example of such a person comes from a scool colleague of mine. A person I may of respected in the past, when asked what Marley stood for and what he fought for he simply answered "rastafari" as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. This is a person who still enjoys Chuck Norris jokes despite them being irrelevent since begining of 06' and who gains his culture by watching Family Guy and going on Wikipedia to understand all the nonsensical references, although, deep down I have some respect for him doing that as at least he does not condone the bad gags as "random". Another example comes from another school companion, a bald, two-times-too-small pink Abercrombie & Fitch polo wearing jock who requested a Bob Marley song during art class and proceeded to sing "Don't Worry be Happy" while making grotesque gestures with his hands suggesting the recreational use of cannabis.
Also, guys, can you stop refering to Bob Marley simply as "Bob"? It's getting annoying as when I hear Bob, the first thing that comes to mind is Bob Dylan.
