Bob Marley’s Family Selling New Line Of Eco-Friendly Goods!

Yeah I cannot wait to see this in stores in Portland.  Hopefully Seven Planet will carry some of the items.  We will see.

lose to three decades after his untimely death from a rapidly spreading form of malignant melanoma at the age of just 36, Jamaican reggae legend Robert Nesta “Bob” Marley continues to make headlines, not just for his musical legacy but now for his family’s willingness to merchandise his surname. Perhaps this ongoing recession of ours is partially to blame for 42 year old daughter Cedella’s acknowledgement that they’re “open to licensing just about anything” as long as it reflects the right spirit.

One has to question what the ganja-lovin’ icon would have thought of his family’s decision to open the Bahama Island Marley Resort & Spa — quite possibly the first of many more to come on the horizon — complete with Stir It Up bar, Marley “song title rooms” and his select MP3 hits piped throughout the resort on a loop. Hotels are traditionally one of the most energy-gobbling industries to get into, but to their credit, they have implemented “eco friendly polices to reduce the negative impact on the environment” and they also channel some of the profits earned toward charitable endeavors via the Bob Marley Foundation, Rita Marley Foundation and URGE.
