Don't disrespect the Bjork

I just recently found out that I have a friend who does not like Bjork. When he told me, I felt like someone simultaneously punched me in the gut, stabbed me in the foot and slapped me. How can this be? 

Look at her. She's a living, breathing, piece of human art.

Bjork is one of the greatest musical artists of my generation. 

Bjork makes music like no one else makes music. 

Bjork sings like no one else sings. 

Bjork gives a shit what anyone thinks of her. 

Bjork is fearless.

Bjork is a small child who is allowed to dress however she wants, every day. 

Bjork throws every bit of herself into her music.

Bjork had a kid with Tricky. 

Bjork is crazy.

Then, it hit me. Maybe I'm so crazy and out of touch with normal human beings that I forget Bjork is too. Maybe the both of us, Me and Bjork, are too crazy for this world. We walk to the beat of our own drum. Skip to our own rhythm. Dress like we don't own a mirror. Then I realized I don't own one piece of clothing similar to Bjork, can't sing, don't live in Iceland, and have a standard 9-5 job. Right... we're not sisters. But still, I contest that there's no way to dislike Bjork. If you've ever seen her in concert, or in the movie "Dancer in the Dark" and still didn't like her, then, well, I have nothing left to say to you. If you can listen to her song "Bachelorette" and not feel anything, then you're dead inside. If you don't look at her and wonder if she's human or  musical goddess, you're probably an android. Alright, so you may not die for her music like I do, but you have to at least respect what she's doing. Am I right here?

Please, friends, doubters of Bjork,(especially one who has recently confessed his dislike of Bjork to me) watch the following videos, and think about what you're doing. Don't hurt my feelings.

Now, I dare you to tell me that you don't respect Bjork.

Bjork is my eternal heroine. Haters beware.

I was crazy about Bjork when I was young. Now I have to admit I’m old and can’t stand her. (I can’t even believe I DISLIKE her now.)

I still LOVE all the MV she did with Chris Cunningham, I laughed at the 2nd video here. She’s annoying as my 2-year-old toddler refused to eat dinner and does all those mischievous facial expressions to me. (Oh, how I wish I could throw her a bowl of cereal at her face!)

I agree what you said she is fearless, well, she has to – for some people dislike her, or starting dislike her.

Hey,great to see your blog up again!

Haha. Well said Wing. Though, I think if you threw a bowl of cereal at Bjork's face, she'd embrace it and wear it as makeup. THere's just no phasing the Bjork.
