Today is Bob Marley's birthday, here's a picture of him playing soccer with Jimi Hendrix. (imgur.com)

Uh...that's not Jimi Hendrix. I'm assuming you know that, and this is a joke, but in case you're serious:
Jimi Hendrix died in 1970. Bob Marley wasn't internationally known until after his first Island Records release (Catch A Fire) which came out three years later. He was known in Britain, a little, for some of the early Wailers releases, but not outside of the tiny reggae audience at that point.
Even if there was somehow an overlap and they did meet (extremely unlikely), that photo was taken waaaaay after 1970. Look at Bob's hair. Based on the size of that tam, he has long dreads at that point. At the time of Catch a Fire (which, remember, came out a few years after Hendrix died), his dreads were incredibly short, basically just a nappy afro.
I'm guessing this photo was taken no earlier than 1977 (at which point Hendrix was already dead for seven years), but more likely between '78-'80.

Also, that's not soccer. The venue is all wrong.

That WOULD have been a cool picture though, I have to admit.

Uh-oh, someone was wrong on the internet and this guy just couldn't stand it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with correcting an error.

It's suggested that soccer is what killed Bob Marley. That his cancer was related to a soccer injury. I'm not really sure if that's medically feasible, but I've heard it said by more than one person.

Actually, his refusal to accept medical treatment on religious grounds was what killed Bob Marley.

Now that's integrity.
