“I Shot the Sheriff,” Bob Marley and the Wailers On one level, it’s a desperado’s confession, but that’s not what inspired this 1973 reggae classic. Bob Marley actually wrote the song to protest his girlfriend’s decision to take birth control pills, which he considered sacrilegious. The “sheriff” is the doctor who prescribed them—the man Marley refers to when he sings: “Every time I plant a seed, he said kill it before it grow.” youtube/watch?v=PPDJ6eJe7rc
