    he's everyone so everyone decides what he is to them... even bob marley gets to decide what he is, but to me, he'll always be a zebra

    is obedience the same as love? just because bob wanted to be seen as black, does that mean we have to see him as black?

    I think this is a silly thing to say. He was mixed. So what. He was a man, a musician, and THAT is what one should see when they look upon the image of Bob,......not a stiped donkey-type member of the equine family....

    I think Bob Marley would not be pleased by that.

    black, white or black and white... black and white = zebra

    bob is a citizen of the cosmos

    colors don't apply

    in the fuzzy lines between borders, we find our freedom

    Unless maybe a zebra was one's spirit animal, but aside from that, I don't think anyone would like to be reffered to as a "zebra" anymore than they want to be known as "oreos".

    perhaps I misread you, molly. still, I can't help wondering if twilight zebras are akin to horses of a different color? :p
