Was it ever made clear why Sherrif John Brown hated Bob Marley?

Question

and why was he always forcing Bob to kill his seeds? What sort of seeds were they anyway?

I'm like these words of Bob's:

"I want to say 'I shot the police' but the government would have made a fuss so I said 'I shot the sheriff' instead... but it's the same idea: justice."

Answer 1

"Sheriff John Brown always hated me".For what "I don't Know".The late great Robert Nesta Marley."Every time I plant a seed he said kill it before it grows"This has a double meaning.On one hand it is about growing Ganja and the sheriff's orders to destroy the plant.On the other hand it is about stopping Bob's political views and observations about oppression from being highlighted amongst society.I think the "Sheriff" is used as a representation of political power and indicates towards "the man at the top".Bob is not singing about killing in the real sense but is saying he can kill any political propoganda with evidence against it.He spoke of the truth and the reality.One love..

Answer 2

What kind of seeds you say? I rather think Mr Marley was rather fond of the odd spliff! Hardly surprising he was he was told to kill them before they grow.

Answer 3

Come on man! Any die hard Marley fan knows that he covered that song from Bob Dylan.

Every day the bucket goes to the well, but one day, the bottom will drop out.
