I have a feeling that the title of this conference - "How soon is now" is a homage to The Smiths. Tomas Bokstad, from the ministry of culture looks like someone who's used to be really into Morrissey. But how on Gods earth does that song connect with the theme of the conference. I'll try to ask him during the brake.
In the meanwhile, do you guys have any ideas? Go ahead and astound me with your analytic capacity. Here's the lyrics:
I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir of nothing in particular You shut your mouth how can you say I go about things the wrong way I am human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and the heir of nothing in particular You shut your mouth how can you say I go about things the wrong way I am human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does There's a club if you'd like to go you could meet somebody who really loves you so you go, and you stand on your own and you leave on your own and you go home, and you cry and you want to die When you say it's gonna happen "now" well, when exactly do you mean? see I've already waited too long and all my hope is gone You shut your mouth how can you say I go about things the wrong way I am human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does

maybe he, like many others, for various reasons, have the feeling they have waited too long (for meaning, justice, representation, coming out, etc)! PH Anonymous User | 12 nov 2008
