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.
