Does anyone know where in Scotland he's supposed to be from? I know that it's an American doing the voice but I was just wondering whether the accent is regional or just made up lol
(Edit: I mean Willie from The Simpsons) |

| I'd imagine it's just made up. It doesn't sound particularly accurate for any part of Scotland i don't think |

| Haha the accent is poor, it's made up. But he does make references to Glasgow alot. |

Maybe they make references to a lot of places, to throw people off. Like in the movie, you finally find out 3 states bordering Springfield...
Kentucky. Nebraska. And Nevada!
Lol |

Lol
Obviously, don't you know that state right there in the middle of everything? :oP It must be a bit down South seen that the have a real-life hillbilly in town as well.
Apparantly, Springfield is one of the most common name for towns in the US, so it's no wonder the creators of the Simpsons chose the name. |

They've been playing her stuff a lot on P3. It's always tragic when a young person dies in a traffic accident. |

When i saw that in the trailer i was like 'aaaaah!' and went to check out what state Springfield was in on an atlas- only to find that those states mentioned are nowhere near each other in the States. My off-hand geography of the USA clearly isn't spectacular! Haha |

Maybe Id know her if I heard some songs?
I heard about 3 songs from Justin *puke* Timberlake outside Parken last night. Somehow the live music in the park sounded a lot better hehe. |

Yeah I read two reviews and they agreed that he was phenomenal. I do believe them when they say that he's got talent.
Natasja on MySpace - don't know any of the songs posted there. |
