Knowing me, knowing ABBA

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

    ABBA Beloved as the Beatles?

    I don't think I have ever felt as African American listening to your reaction to ABBA:) More power to you. Music really is in the ear of the listener. For me they will always be the one time biggest group in the world excluding the US. (Kinda like Soccer).

    I get the Beatles, and the Sex Pistols. I get NASCAR and Garth. I even get hockey (Basketball on ice). ABBA was just a bridge too far for me. Oh well.

    Mary, you are still the Dancin Queen and I love reading your stuff. If we ever meet, stay away from my CD player er eight track please.
