Summary: The Handler's Tale Is Bad News About HIM
Review: When taken simply as a book describing the shadiness of thefledgling Jamaican music industry "Marley and Me" is anundeniably fascinating read.If you are unfamiliar with Jamaicanhistory, culture and politics and did not run in the circles described by the author, and haven't read a lot on the legal intricacies involving the Marley estates, it's hard to judge how much of what Don Taylor, who was undeniably close to the late, great lion, is true, how much is biased and how much is completely false. What clued me into the fact that Mr. Taylor is probably glossing over or omitting a LOT of the back story or more sordid workings of his operation is his (extremely) brief mention of his 3-year bout with cocaine addiction. Anyone who spent 6 years trying to stave off the leeches and hangers-on surrounding Marley's camp would have to be seriously ( ) or a fool to ever mess with coke. ANYWAY, the book is filled with really interesting tidbits of gossip, especially relating to Rita Marley and all the other women in the lion's life. END
