Beware Icelandic poets: Bjork being very funny indeed (c30 years ago)

This is very sweet and charming, in its way; and seems absolutely sincere. It is also so funny that I cried with laughter. Yet I wasn't laughing 'at' her because she was 'ridiculous' - it was more a kind of admiration at a spontaneously surreal world view...

I don't think she was trying be funny, as such - I would guess that this is just how Bjork is/ was; this is how she thinks/ thunk. I would guess she opens her mouth and this is the sort of thing that comes-out. Plain crazy, or a five year old in a 25 years old body? I don't know.

Also a very soothing speaking voice and accent.
