“When I was first starting out, people
were amazed. They couldn’t believe I
was so good at playing guitar—for a
girl!”
Lay Low is pretty awesome. Being a girl
and all. Read our feature with her in it, it’s
awesome too.

“If there’s one thing we have in com-
mon with your mayor it’s the ability to
say ‘we don’t know.’”

town…

“Parliament has become an ivory
tower whose occupants are afraid
of those outside and refuse to speak
to them. In general parliamentarians
have contempt for the public and do
not consider them as important as the
special interest groups.”

“In 1991 too, three young men from
Seattle made themselves known to
the world at large and bare chests,
whether adjoined to leather trousers
or stretchy pants, would not be as ac-
ceptable again for a long time.”
Oh, the ‘90s…

“What is a bit troubling is that there
are so few immigrants in the media.
They are really seldom interviewed
and there are very few articles written
by immigrants”
The Grapevine attends the Integration and
Immigrants’ Participation Conference

“I told them that the country does
not have an army. For my father and
mother, who lived all their lives seeing
guns in the streets and armed people
and wars and bullets, it sounds very
different and shocking to them in a
good way when they hear that their
son is in a place with no army.”
Palestinian poet and journalist Mazen
Maarouf has been given sanctuary in
Reykjavík
