Jens Lekman Has Swine Flu • And realized he had it while on a plane :( Read the obviously well written and sad tale at his site. (Thanks for the tip, inkiostro.) Get well soon, Jens!

"Summer is always best through a window."

That is just fantastic. Get better soon and we'll see you on Hammer Hill, Jens.

"Swine Flu" fits in perfectly for a "Black Cab" parody. "And I've heard all the stories about the swine flu and the way they spread. But if you come down with it, you may come back dead."

I bet this incident will inspire an awesome song.

Everything that touches Tig Notaro gets really sick. Poor Jens, he should have been warned.

Tig Notaro is more like an infected wart than a swine flu but caution is advised. I really do feel bad for Jens -- he couldn't have known.
