Swine Flu Does It Again

Swedish-born indie pop musician, Jens Lekman has come down with a serious illness according to the singer’s blog. Leckman has managed to get the infamous SWINE FLU. He started feeling sick when he was touring in South America about a month ago and said the following in his blog,

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