Bob was much more than a famous Jamaican musician. He was a man with deep convictions who rose from poverty to become a global musical and cultural icon – a pop prophet. Using performance and interview clips, Gary Wenstrup will trace the arc of Bob’s career from “One Love” and “Jamming” to” “I Shot The Sheriff” and “Redemption Song.” Bob Marley is the world’s most popular reggae artist beloved for his universal hymns of freedom.
After a rewarding career in advertising sales, Gary Wenstrup retired and developed courses on the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel and Motown Records for the Continuing Education Departments of College of DuPage and Oakton Community College. He has lectured at over 80 Chicago area libraries.
This event is free and open to all. No registration is required.
