Think you?re a Bob Marley fan? Reggae expert Roger Steffens has six rooms and a garage filled with memorabilia from Marley?s career and private life.

Steffens, the founding editor of “The Beat” magazine, will be sharing his knowledge of and passion for the reggae legend through a film and lecture entitled “The Life of Bob Marley.” The presentation will take place tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the University Union Ballroom.

“”It?s the half that has never been told about Bob Marley,” Steffens said. “No matter how much you think you?ve seen or known about Bob, you?ll be shaken and surprised by what I?m bringing.”

Steffens will be showing previously unreleased footage that varies from the earliest known video, taken in January of 1973, to a chilling documentary about the assassination attempt on Marley?s life in 1976, as well as vintage concert footage.

“What I want to show is that the person Bob became – the noble, moral figure he has been universally acknowledged as, is worthy of our respect,” Steffens said.

The lecture will tell Bob Marley?s true-life story, most of which is based on more than 80 hours of interviews Steffens has done with Bunny Wailer for Marley?s biography.

Steffens said his favorite piece of memorabilia was ” a blurry picture of me and Bob together in his dressing room in 1979, when I was traveling with him. It?s the only one I have of us together, and it means more to me than anything.”
