Of money and life The Punch
Published 4 July 2021
It is a common saying that money isn’t everything. Reggae legend Bob Marley gave that piece of wisdom its ultimate expression. According to a friend, who witnessed the exchange, a European journalist once asked Marley about his wealth. “Some people are so poor all they have is money,” the rastaman responded, most likely with his characteristic quizzical stare. “You think having money makes you wealthy?”
Another music legend, soul man Sam Cooke, took the issue from the realm of philosophy to that of experience. We may remember him more for “Cupid,” his perennial ode to Valentine’s. Just as soulfully lovelorn is his mid-1960s mega-hit “Another Saturday Night.”
