Σαν σήμερα γεννήθηκε και πέθανε ο μεγάλος λαϊκός συνθέτης - Τα τραγούδια του που έγραψαν ιστορία . . .
Βασίλης Τσιτσάνης . . .

. . . Ο Γιώργος Λιάνης το 2014 δημοσιεύει το βιβλίο «Τσιτσάνης, αιώνιος καλπασμός» αφιερωμένο στη ζωή του διάσημου συνθέτη. «Όλοι θεωρούν ότι ο Τσιτσάνης ήταν ένας µύστης του ρεµπέτικου τραγουδιού. Αληθές» γράφει ο Γιώργος Λιάνης. «Μόνο που, από κάποιο σηµείο και πέρα, έπαψε να είναι. Γιατί η φιλοσοφία του «ρεµπέτη» δεν τον εξέφραζε. Ούτε η µουσική του. Με τα βαριά ζεϊµπέκικα και τα βαριά χασάπικα. Τον αργό ρυθµό, το περιορισµένο λεξιλόγιο και την ασφυκτικά κλεισµένη στο υπόγειο του περιθωρίου θεµατολογία. Ήθελε διακαώς να διαχωρίσει τον δρόµο του, γιατί ο δικός του «Μουσικός Κόσµος» .διέφερε. Ήθελε να εκφράσει κάτι περισσότερο. Όπως και έκανε" . . .

Μπομπ Μάρλεϊ. Το πραγματικό του όνομα ήταν Νέστα και ήταν γιος λευκού Βρετανού. Γιατί αντιδρούσε όταν τον φώναζαν «Γερμανό»...

Πολλά χρόνια αργότερα, όταν χρειάστηκε να βγάλει διαβατήριο για να ταξιδέψει στο εξωτερικό, ο υπεύθυνος διαβατηρίων είδε το όνομα «Νέστα» και σχολίασε ότι ήταν κοριτσίστικο. Γι’ αυτό άλλαξε τη σειρά των ονομάτων και στο διαβατήριο έγραψε «Ρόμπερτ Νέστα Μάρλεϊ». Έκτοτε ο τραγουδιστής συστηνόταν ως Μπομπ. Εξαιτίας του λευκού πατέρα του, το δέρμα του Μπομπ είχε πιο ανοιχτή απόχρωση συγκριτικά με τους υπόλοιπους Τζαμαϊκανούς και ο κόσμος τον αποκαλούσε «Γερμανό». Όταν ήταν μικρός, ο χαρακτηρισμός ενοχλούσε τον Μπομπ, γιατί τον ξεχώριζε από τους υπόλοιπους κατοίκους του χωριού. Η σύζυγός του Ρίτα, είχε δηλώσει ότι όταν ήταν μικρός, ο Μπομπ έβαφε το πρόσωπό του με φούμο για να φαίνεται πιο μαύρος....

Ο Μπομπ Μάρλεϊ αν δεν ήταν τραγουδιστής, θα μπορούσε να είναι ποδοσφαιριστής. Μάλιστα, οι φίλοι του θεωρούσαν ότι είναι τόσο καλός, που θα μπορούσε να παίζει για την Εθνική ομάδα της Τζαμάικα...

Οι τελευταίες λέξεις του Μπομπ προς τον γιο του Ζίγκι ήταν: «Τα χρήματα δεν μπορούν να αγοράσουν ζωή». Τρανή απόδειξη η τεράστια περιουσία του τζαμαϊκανού θρύλου, που ξεπερνάει τα 130 εκατομμύρια δολάρια. Πέθανε στις 11 Μαΐου 1981....
