- Bob Marley's song, "Natty Dread" was originally "Knotty Dread". Knotty pretty
- well describes dreadlocks, however the Jamaican pronunciation made it sound
- more like "natty", just the opposite of its true meaning. This and other
- interesting tid-bits can be found in the extensive liner notes in the new
- Bob Marley 4-CD boxed set.
