Quote: Björk on Iceland's founding as Iceland flounders
In a terrifying Observer piece about the collapse of the Icelandic economy this week, a note from Björk. "Blame it on the Vikings. Icelanders like to hark back to their ancestors, the rebel Vikings who, as the nation's most revered daughter Björk once explained, 'couldn't deal with authority in Norway. So they flew off in this mad ocean in a wooden boat which is pretty hardcore, North Atlantic in the year 800. And they found this island full of snow ... yeeeah!'"
