Holiday Singer Jens Lekman & Swine Flu

You never know when it hits you. But you may become more alert when you see even Michael Jackson can be gone. But this guy is fortunately still with us. He's just caught a Swine Flu. Jens Lekman sings the most tender romantic holiday songs ever. He makes you want to re-pack, even when you've just returned from a three month vacation to the Caribbean. That's how good he is on holidays. But reading his small talks on his (mid-90s design) website. He has locked himself up. On his recent, post he claims:

"I picked home one last souvenir from South America, it's called the H1N1 virus. Wrongfully known as the Swine flu.

I was crossing the Atlantic when things started getting really bad, the fever was hallucinogenic and shaking me like a leaf and I grabbed the sleeve of the Air France steward. "I'm not feeling well, I should see a doctor" I said and the reply came as a brilliant mix of death anxiety and french rudeness: "Uh, yes... Terminal D... go there maybe... when we land". After that the stewards and stewardesses took long detours. A ring of empty seats formed around me. Peoples eyes were kind but determined, they read "Poor you, I really wish you all the best but if you come near me or my kid I will have to stab you with this plastic fork". I got up and went to the bathroom where I fainted.

Now I'm in quarantine for ten days. I can see the summer through my window and it's just perfect. Summer is always best through a window. "

Let's just hope he recovers soon. We're losing lots of talents lately. What's wrong with mother earth these days? I'm not eating pork for a time to come. I'll eat bacon maybe!
