Hello. My name is True and I am ten years old. Does anybody know how Ziggy Marley got his nickname? Thanks

i read or heard ina video that bob marley used to say "ziggy ziggy" when he plays football (soccer), it s a soccer's move.

dribling the footbal or zig zag.

yeah man !
dribling that's the word i would like to say, but sorry for my poor english lol lol

And there was me thinking it had been influenced by David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust!

But no, semes it is from a small joint or a football move.

football move, i read it on a book called reggae explosion

I looked up more stories on that Ziggy site linked to earlier in this thread. And found this:

"Record companies, they mark up that CD too much," Marley said. "I realize that now, doing this record. Record companies, they're cheating people. CDs, they don't cost that much to make. I just made one."

Earlier the article had said Marley had been in the Music Biz for 20 years. Surely it didn't take him that long to work out that the Record Companies are the REAL pirates in the music scene? They are greedy, cheating, bloated Babylonians through and through.
