The Marley Family recently took a little more control over the likeness of elder statesman Bob's likeness. They hired a private equity firm to assist in all matters financial.

And it looks like this is one of the first products: The Dread. Surfboard tailpad by X-Trak.

'Welcome to the Bob Marley Hotel. Want a Bob Marley Beer?'

Pretty soon you could spend your day chillin' at a 'One Love' cafe, sipping on your Bob Marley coffee or beer, and listening to music through you Bob Marley headphones.

The family of Bob Marley has taken the first step to licensing the reggae icons image on a number of products. Some of the first products they are considering include Bob Marley hotels, cafes, snowboards, headphones, musical equipment, beer and coffee. "We're open to licensing just about anything," says Bob's eldest daughter Cedella. But Cedella also notes: "If it is not right, we will not do it."

The family has partnered with a private equity firm named Hilco to assist in the merchandise efforts. Cedella insists the licensing deal is primarily to stop bootleggers from pushing Bob Marley everything at everyone: "This is a big business for bootleggers. We want to stop some of the nonsense, and make sure the great stuff upholds our standards. We're in control."

Black-market Bob Marley merchandise is an estimated $600 million business.

Speaking of which, check out this killer shit I found!

Take it all in people...

Last night the ledgendary London Astoria hosted it's last show before it gets demolished for a railline. Bob Marley's 'Three Little Birds' was the last song ever played. What a perfect choice. Can never go wrong with Bob.

David Bowie, Amy Winehouse, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana and Kings of Leon are just a few of the great artists who have played historic shows at the Astoria. Read all about this wonderful last night right ---> here.
