Clapton covered Marley. And by covered I mean...
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wait, wait, Bob Marley did I Shot the Sherriff? Did he write it, or, like, do a cover?
This is my first year of university -- having this argument over and over. Of course, I didn't realise the Beatles did "Here Comes The Sun" before Nina Simone, so my high ground wasn't all that high.

(It's not Marley, yet is full-on Reggae)

I've never thought of that Toots and the Maytals as full-on reggae. I don't have the vocab to explain why, though.
There's an assload of reggae that's not Bob. He's only the most famous. Not the most prolific, or even, probably the most innovative. He just worked out how to get his message out.

I saw Toots and the Maytalls at a Gathering of the Vibes festival in '92 or thereabouts. It was a very Vegas Elvis-ish performance. Kind of surreal.

Our wings are not tired.
So I caved and downloaded Redemption Song since I couldn't recall hearing it. Yep, I've heard it which is not surprising, just didn't remember. I don't seek out reggae, but hear it often in my surroundings. Very little is sing-a-longable for me. It is comfy and enjoyable music for me since I tend to associate it with my loved ones that have it on all the time.
Were I Michael I would have been surprised that Sawyer knew the lyrics.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's interesting to me that everyone seems to think that it's natural for Michael to know Bob Marley. Is it mostly a race assumption, or because he's an artist, or was before he started doing construction?
Michael hasn't been painted as a music fan, let alone a reggae fan, as far as I know. and it seems to me Sawyer may have had more chances to get exposed to different kind of music than Michael.

I don't think so much that it's natural for Michael, just that it's more likely than he'll know Bob than your average person (i'd put educated black folk not quite as high as hippie backpacker, but higher than most Americans).
I also think that Sawyer is less likely than average because it's so outside his portrayed character -- I don't see where you're getting the "more chances" thing.
