I wonder what she was thinking, "who is this jerk?" Or, "Oh, he's kinda cute. I guess I won't embarrass him by giving him the brush off." Agnetha was SUCH a beautiful glamour queen, and yet, seeing her in videos, I really get the impression that she was a shy, soft-spoken girl, unlike Frida, who seemed more outgoing. I wonder who Bryan would have liked more? Frida or Agnetha? I wonder if there was any contact betweent he actual members of ABBA and the members of Roxy Music. The two bands did have a lot in common, a certain way of evoking the life of the European glitterati, a penchant for writing lovelorn lyrics, a certain showiness and haute style that can be in all of their publicity material, and an unparalleled ability to start trends. They should have formed a supergroup - RoxABBA! > > Roxy used Abba's studio in Stockholm for rehearsals since the > Stockholm-concert was the first on the tour. > That's interesting too. I would like to hear any accounts of any contacts between the two bands, especially between the two ABBA beauties and Bryan! Ciao, Heather (who looks nothing like Agnetha but still tries the same eyeshadow techniques) - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Feb 1999 10:50:33 -0500 (EST) From: John Colquhoun Subject: [AVALON] 200 Cigarettes Saw the trailer for this about to be released film about the lives of 6-8 people set in the late 70's or early 80's...........a comedy about their relationships or lack thereof..............these people are not "The In-Crowd".........but what jumped out at me when i had a 2 second look at the soundtrack was those magic words.........Roxy Music.........no title was listed ...........i'll put a few bob on "Love is the Drug" as the song.....given recreational sex is one of the themes.............I think i saw Elvis Costello,Cars, Devo flash by.........but that will give you a flavour............
