There's a real musical core in the culture over there, that is seen as part of normal socialising. Forget gigs in theatres and bars. Forget going to the pub on a Friday or Saturday night. It gives you more context to the emotional snapshots that are in the songs and gives you more of an idea about my time there. Really, the whole place haunts you, as it should.
Nothing there is okay.
That there is peace or ever was peace after Oslo was a total lie. But it was a lie that we wanted to hear. People repeat patterns throughout history that we can learn from. Lesson number one is that people will want what other people have and they will get it any way they can. And that can be someone else's land, someone else's car, or someone else's heart.
