"Lord, I've got to keep on moving..."

Marley's Wife Plans to Exhume Remains

'The wife of reggae star Bob Marley said Wednesday that she plans to exhume his remains in Jamaica and rebury them in his "spiritual resting place," Ethiopia.

"We are working on bringing his remains to Ethiopia," said Rita, the former backing singer for Marleys band, The Wailers. "It is part of Bob's own mission."

"Bob's whole life is about Africa, it is not about Jamaica," said Rita, a Cuban-born singer who married Marley in 1966.'

I realize that the religion Bob so devoutly followed originated in Ethiopia, but how do you exhume and remove the body of one of most popular figures in Jamaican history; who is not only a native, but changed their culture and politics forever?

And if we are to believe in what Bob believed; isn't he with his "Emperor" already? Why move the body? Let Jamaica keep their son.
