Potheads get accused for having really poor memory, and rightfully so. Today, however, the memory of pot heads everywhere was spot-on as they took to Twitter to remember the birthday of their patron saint and reggae legend, Bob Marley. In fact, for at least an hour that I saw this morning, “Happy Birthday Bob Marley” and “Robert Nesta Marley,” his full birth name, were top worldwide trending topics on Twitter.
And yes, Marley’s birthday is actually today, February 6, so it’s not just some lemming trend that pot smokers mistakenly fell into. They got the day right.
Actually, lemme redress that: I’m sure all listeners of Bob Marley’s music aren’t pot heads – they can’t be, right? I just haven’t ever met anyone who loved listening to Bob Marley’s music (or any reggae music for that matter) and wasn’t also persistently high. At any rate, without further ado, this is how famous people, fake people, stoned people, and normal people took to Twitter and said happy birthday to a music icon:
