Marley, whose song I Shot the Sheriff was made a hit by Eric Clapton in 1974, was an outspoken advocate of Rastafarianism, a Jamaica-based political-religious cult embracing a variety of ideas and trends: reggae music, marijuana use, a return to the "promised land" in Africa and belief in the divinity of the late Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia...
