Today is the 30th Anniversary of Bob's passing... but just as he wrote about Haile Selassie, BOB LIVES!
People still want to listen to and reflect on him. I am doing two radio pieces today, one for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and this one for BBC Radio2, an actual documentary on BOB IN EXILE - the London years that I cover in The Book of Exodus - presented by Original I 3, Marcia Griffiths.
Vivien Goldman in brief:
Vivien Goldman is a writer, educator and broadcaster and cult post-punk musician. A Londoner, Goldman has lived in Paris and now resides in New York.
A widely published and anthologized journalist, Goldman's fifth book is "The Book of Exodus: the Making and Meaning of Bob Marley & the Wailers' Album of the Century" (Three Rivers Press) described as "vivid and intimate" by Rolling Stone. Her previous books are Marley's first biography, "Soul Rebel Natural Mystic" (with photographer Adrian Boot); 'The Black Chord," (with photographer David Corio,) tracing the flow of music through the African Diaspora; and "Pearl's Delicious Jamaican Dishes" a Jamaican cookbook she co-authored with Pearl Bell, the chef of Island Records' founder Chris Blackwell.
Stroll through this site and find many articles by/about Goldman. My Media include the New York Times, Fast Company, the UK Guardian and New Statesman and more...
She is the Adjunct Professor of Punk and Reggae at NYU Tisch School's Clive Davis Dept. of Recorded Music. Her multi-media lectures have been presented at venues including Columbia University, St. George's University, onstage at Hamburg's Kampnagel Theatre and at the Museum of Modern Art in Leon, Spain.
Goldman's music is often re-issued. Try 'Anti-NY' on which she appears alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat; 'Disco Not Disco'; Chicks On Speed's 'Girl Monster' featuring Goldman's "lover's ragga" take on Craig David's "Seven Days"; and 'Wild Dub', alternative dub from The Clash and Grace Jones. Her work with The Flying Lizards has been re-issued in Japan. All of the above are available on I-Tunes (hopefully!)
You know where to find me....
