No Woman No Cry description
I fail to see how this song could ever be called "misogynistic". There is no commentary within the song that is in any way negative towards a female, and also throughout the song Marley is literally singing about comforting a woman who is crying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.204.227 (talk) 00:10, 13 June 2005 (UTC)

Lively Up Yourself, CD mixes different
Natty Dread is a spiritually charged political and social statement. It opens with a blues-influenced celebration of the Rastafari movement, "Lively Up Yourself"

Inaccurate. "Lively Up Yourself" is a good-time track celebrating dancing, reggae and sex. Will change. I think it's also worth mentioning that for some reason some of the tracks on the initial Island CD reissue were different mixes from the original vinyl. Can't find a cite, but I have both, and it's generally known. Centrepull (talk) 16:23, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
