It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

We forgive much when we are old...

ABBA was way down on my list of interesting acts - in fact, I really didn't know there stuff, and had no interest.

In 2008 I attended the SWIFT payment conference in Vienna, and the last night was a huge party in the Imperial Palace Helluva place to party, I bet Franz Josef had a great time there. There was a karaoke room, and they were dying - I mean, in that kind of setting who has the guts to go on stage and sing? So one of my colleagues and I were in the front row (we were late, the only seating), and the folks running the karaoke knew that they dying a fast death in that room and begged us to come up and sing. We said "what the hell", and jumped up on stage. But they song they picked for we two guys to sing was "Dancing Queen" - and I had to tell them I couldn't do it because I did not know the song at all! Elvis would have been better.

Fast forward to 2021, and I was listening to stuff on YouTube, and what comes up but Waterloo? I was actually amazed at how great of a pop song it is, and how well constructed. So I also listened to Dancing Queen, and went wow, what a great job! Serious ear worms, as well.

Yeah, they were pretty cheesy. but all in fun, right? I just bought the two LP set ABBA Gold and plan to play it at parties.
