Vince Blake: Before we get started I want to thank you on behalf of Rolling Stones for this gracious devotion of time to come and meet with me for this interview.
Bob Marley: No problem man, I am glad to talk about the peace in the world.
Vince Blake: Right, your new song "Redemption Song" talks about "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery". What do you mean when you say this?
Bob Marley: Well I see many politicians talk about improving the world and it's all seems fake to me so what I mean when I say "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery" I mean to set yourself free the oppression because we have been oppressed for many generations and now seeing all my brothers and sisters uniting, makes me proud.
Vince Blake: It very much should, was the song originally intended the African-American community or was its purpose for every community seeking freedom?
Bob Marley: I was mainly meant for African-American community as they are constantly being attacked and having racism thrown at them. But I feel that we are rising above the hate and uprising.
Vince Blake: Speaking of an uprising, the new album "Uprising" is a big hit how do you feel about that and What do you think that the African-American community looks up to you as a source of guidance and leader?
Bob Marley: Success is not what I seek, I seek freedom and liberty for my people, success means nothing to me. for your other question of being a leader, I don't want to be a leader, I am just a man trying to spread peace around the world.
Vince Blake: Alright, another line in your song "Redemption song" the line "None but ourselves can free our mind. Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy". What do you mean by setting ourselves free and having no fear of atomic energy?
Bob Marley: What I mean by it, I mean you are the only one that can free yourself no one in the world can do that for you, the other line "Have no fear for atomic energy" I mean that no one should fear the war and stand up for yourself as that is what is important. The whole purpose was for this song to become an inspiration for my community.
Vince Blake: I see, well thank you for your time again Bob Marley.
Bob Marley: No problem, thanks for having me.
