Knowing me, knowing ABBA

How did a cheesy Scandinavian pop group in jumpsuits and blue eye shadow become as seriously beloved as the Beatles?

    Agnetha Fältskog and immature rock stars

    I had a mad crush on Agnetha Fältskog for the longest time.

    Age hasn't dimmed her beauty very much at all.

    I was always impressed that ABBA had all those gigantic hits in English, which is not their native language.

    Like many others, I've had enough of rock bands and rock stars who are little more than spoiled adolescents, with their manic hedonism and childish indulgences.

    The members of ABBA seem so mature and sophisticated by comparison.

    Hats off to ABBA. And yes, I'll see the movie, and enjoy it.
