Scandinavia and The World

It's a comic strip by a Dane, about the relationships between different countries, mainly the Nordic ones. It's hilarious! It's way better to celebrate and get a laugh out of our differences than to get angry about them.


She does strips about historical facts, cultural differences and political hot potatoes. After each strip she explains the background and it can be quite informational. And it's SO funny! And the little guys are sooo cute!

Have a laugh!

R.I.P. Clarence Clemons

A great musician who together with The E Street Band made some of the greatest rock songs I've heard. This one for example...



Clarence's solo is at 3.04.

There's a Swedish dance band song about living in the here and now and not worrying about tomorrow. It goes;
"Yes, I know that it's two o'clock and it's late for a Sunday night
but nothing can get me away from here.
If one were wise one would go, but who wants to be rational
when one's got rock n roll and saxophone?"

I saw Bruce and the band i Gothenburg in 2008 and a couple of days before the concert I dreamt that I rode the tram through town with the band. I sat chatting with Clarence and told him about my job and my town and how excited I was about the concert. He was very nice.

... the fact that The Avett Brothers are performing at Way Out West in Gothenburg in August!

Fantabulous news! And just when I needed a little sunshine in my life.


Always remeber
there was nothing worth sharing
like the love
that let us share our name
