In a newspaper interview today Bubbi Morthens, a popular troubador in Iceland, criticises Björk and Sigur Rós for not having dedicated the Náttúra concert to battling poverty in Iceland.
In the same interview Bubbi says that he has lost a lot of money on the stock market.
Perhaps Björk should have dedicated the concert to Bubbi.
Seriously, rather than criticising Björk for fighting for the wrong cause, maybe Bubbi should do something about this himself!

Seems to me someone is jealous! Everyones a critic. I’m sorry, but from my perspective, poverty is not as pressing an issue as the desecration of nature in Iceland (and elsewhere).
World poverty, now there’s something to cry about. Has Bubbi done anything with UNICEF?? Maybe he should, since he feels so passionately. Maybe he could apply his liebel winnings to a community project in Reykjavik.
When I was there, he was giving a huge concert, and there would be no shortage of supporters if he were to the put the effort into throwing a benefit.
Troubador! Hah!

Judge yet ye be judged is something that has proven true for me time and time again, Björk did the Army of Me mixes album for the Tsunami and you know better than me where her heads at and priorities lie so to criticize and try to tackle a big challenge facing the world and particularly Iceland is a noble and smart thing to do than try to face a whole monster of issues. I know its true for me that it helps to really think and be mindful of what I say.
