Confessions -- Bec's turn
I was an ABBA fan.
I got the Arrival album for my 10th birthday.
I wanted to be Frida - because she was brunette and there were so darn few brunette role models in the 70s.
Yes, I actually thought that way when I was 10.
I am shocked and somewhat ashamed at how many ABBA songs I know off by heart: verse, chorus and coda, without even knowing I know them.
Why didn't anyone grab me and teach me Latin instead?
That is all.

In addition to having an equally shameful ABBA addiction, I have one name for you. John Denver. Sigh.
mama mia, here we go again... ...how can I forget you... !!!! enough said. :) I wish I had learned Latin as well.
HA!
I had to learn Latin and I've never seen the allure of ABBA, still, I'm not sure I have the authority to absolve you from this affliction.

ABBA and John Denver? Bec and Kim, you must have been living with my family! Bec, I am impressed with your social conscience at 10. I was 7 and *really* wanted to be Agnetha -just because she was blonde. Let's face it, our kids will grow up knowing all the words to the Wiggles/Hi-5/Playschool. Is that any better?
I used to love ABBA as well. Did you see that ABC tv special on ABBA a couple of years ago? Bono was talking about how complicated the songs were in their simplicity.
When I was about 10 my best friend and I used to play at being ABBA and our chook shed was the sold out stadium. Those poor chooks - their ears are probably still ringing!! ;)
My brother and I used to do choreographed routines to KISS songs. With tennis rackets as guitars. Tragic on so many levels.
