In addition to his Monday night appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Ziggy Marley‘s new song “Jamaica in My Head” provided the background music for a hot pink-shirted flash mob in New York City’s Union Square on Monday. The Jamaica Tourist Board and Flash Mob America teamed up for the event, which invites you to check out the Visit Jamaica website, Facebook page, or Twitter account when you’re making your vacation plans. Ruder Finn also helped with the plans for this event.

Today, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon announced that it has scheduled appearances by Rolling Stones former stoner Keith Richards and Lauryn Hill during the week-long tribute to Bob Marley that starts tonight. Richards will be talking up his autobiography and his acting turn in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean film on Wednesday. And Hill will be singing a couple of classic Marley songs on Thursday. Catching a live Lauryn Hill performance, let alone one on TV, is like seeing Halley’s comet – rare and fabulous! Ziggy Marley performs tonight.
