The thing that annoys me about his fanbase is that most of them seem to be stoners who like him simply because he was one of them.
I honestly can't come up with another reason why a musician who's been dead for 30+ years is liked so much by my generation. I can understand why many like The Beatles or Rolling Stones, but at least they had hits and changed the musical landscape forever. Marley never had that kind of cultural impact when he was alive, so his sudden influx of "fans" is puzzling.
