Although Marley regarded all politicians with skepticism, considering them to be part of what Rastafarians call ÒBabylon,Ó or the corrupt Western world, he was known to favor Michael Manley of the PeopleÕs National Party over Edward Seaga of the right-wing Jamaican Labour Party for the post of Prime Minister of Jamaica. When Manley asked Bob Marley to give a ÒSmile JamaicaÓ concert to reduce tensions between the warring gangs associated with the two parties, the singer readily agreed.
