BREAKING NEWS! Bjork statement re: Declare Independence

Remember us telling you about Bjork and her declaration for a free Tibet? You should do, it's only a couple of posts down the page. Anyway, we've been given a statement from the Icelandic popster about the whole thing...

I have been asked by many for a statement after dedicating my song "Declare Independence"  to both Kosovo and Tibet (amongst others) on different  occasions. I would like to put importance on that I am not a  politician, I am first and last a musician and as such I feel my  duty to try to express the whole range of human emotions. The urge  for declaring independence is just one of them but an important one  that we all feel at some times in our lives. This song was written more  with the personal in mind but the fact that it has translated to its  broadest meaning, the struggle of a suppressed nation, gives me  much pleasure. I would like to wish all individuals and nations  good luck in their battle for independence. Justice!

Warmth, björk.

Straight from the good lady's mouth.
