MUSIC: Everything gonna be all right, everything gonna be all right

I haven't posted anything about music yet. So.

Musical confession: for the longest time, I misunderstood the meaning of Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry."

If you listen to the lyrics, you can tell what he means by that refrain, "No woman, no cry," is basically, "Don't cry, woman." He's comforting a crying woman.

But the way I always interpreted it was: "If you don't have a woman, you won't have any reason to cry." Or more briefly, "Women will make you cry." If you don't want to cry, don't have a woman. No woman, no cry. Get it?

Yeah. It's pretty obvious why Bob Marley is the legend, and I'm not.
