Besides setting the scene for the release of the song, the programs feature the songs' creator(s) and explore its cultural impact and the ways that it changed the course of history. Guests include recording artists, music industry executives, cultural and political pundits and the music fans themselves for whom these songs became their life's soundtrack. Despite whatever Bob Marley's original intent was for this song, it assumed a bigger meaning; fighting against social oppression and social injustice. I Shot the sheriff became a direct response to political oppression. It was crucial in defining Marley's role as a political and musical revolutionary. It endeared him to an international audience that was looking for someone to carry the torch of rebellion. The movement reflected the human desire for racial harmony and for a spiritual dimension. Bob Marley's impact in both areas cannot be underestimated. He turned the Rastafari movement into a universal force reaching out to all races. The movement was crystallized in I shot the sheriff.
