Totally agree.A proof reader is the way to go.This, like so many other articles does not capture the full genre .One is left to question ,the authenticity?Another critique ,tired of wannabees riding the Marley band wagon.I suppose it good marketing technique, but is it verifiable,can it withstand scrutiny..
Many distorted stories does not reflect the true message.
