Clash of the Cultures

This interview with Sigur Ros on the Bryant Park Project on NPR is a classic example of a clash between the American & Icelandic (Scandinavian) cultures. Those that commented were most likely either American or from UK where short answers are considered rude. However, once you have lived in a culture like that of Sigur Ros, you will understand that long answers only come after many, many months (or even years) of pain-staking patience on your part of proving yourself a friend worthy of long answers. Disclaimer: I don’t know the guys of Sigur Ros personally, but their behavior is all too familiar to me.
