So Much things to Say - Linton Kwesi Johnson, Roger Steffens

"If Bob Marley is Jesus in these times, Roger Steffens is Peter." Carlos Santana Roger Steffens toured with Marley for two weeks of his final tour of California in 1979 and the music icon was the first guest of Steffens' award-winning radio show. In So Much Things To Say, Steffens draws on a lifetime of scholarship to tell the story of Marley's childhood abandonment, his formative years in Trench Town, his seemingly meteoric rise to international fame and his tragic death at 36. Weaving together the voices of Rita Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer as well as band members, family and friends Steffens reveals extraordinary new details, dispels myths and highlights the most dramatic elements of Marley's life, such as the assassination attempt and possible CIA cover-up; his seemingly supernatural psychic abilities and his overriding commitment to the peace and love message of Rastafari. Roger Steffens' landmark work will reshape our understanding of this legendary performer.
