Bjork Upsets China

bjork-china-tibet

Some artists are obsessed with interfering with politics especially when they have not got a clue of what they are talking about. Not sure how Bjork thought of it and when she was in China for a concert few days ago, she sang her song ?Declare Independence? and started singing Tibet, Tibet which out being aware that this might be dangerous for her.

Chinese are not very happy with the idea of an independent Tibet so they do not want to see Bjork any more.

A while ago she made the following announcement that states that?

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 , bj?rk.
