ABBA keep cool, but someimes they disagree

      - Sometimes it's undestand what is going on around us. Anni-Frid Lyngstad, once a former dance band singer from Eskilstuna, now known as "Frida" in the Swedish Music Industry ABBA, admits that sometimes the nerves gets the better of her. What I hate most i the long travelling. You have to look you best even though your body is aching from pain and jetlag.
     Even the boys in the band agree.
     - It's the worst for the girls, we don't hav to think about "fixing our face" care about what hair look like and being fashionmodels in private.
     On the "outside" ABBA's profile is the well brought up singing/songgroup that (almost) everyone can like. Två married couples (well Anni-Frid and Benny  are just living together and has done so for years.) Without any innerconflicts or controversys.

     But believe it or not - the ABBA people are just normal. With little aches and pains, bad moods, freqvent irritation at each other,all that stuff that makes it hard to smile pretty for the camera and looking cool.

     * Frida often comes three or four minutes late to an appoinment at the hotelllobby. Agnetha, who is *always* on time gets mad at Frida.

     * Agnetha must keepe a  tab on her bloodpresure  check she was expected her daughter Linda (born 23 February 1973) the doctors discovered that her bloodpressure is way too low.

     * Benny and Frida are night people, while Agnetha and Björn are early risers.

     * In the redordingstudio the tempers may fly amongst the walls, at least 3/4 of the group. Benny seem to be the one who clams everyone down.

     * To avoid our fans getting the wrong pictures of we always say no, and if we did let reporters and fans into the studio we we couldn'nt be honest in our musicmaking.

I'm writing a literary work FRIDA on.
I'm always looking at MIKORY in demand of subsidies.

I came across an excerpt on the internet from an ABBA tour program, I think it was from Australia '77, in which the biography for Agnetha actually stated that she "was the temperamental one of the group, who was decidedly self-assured" (actual quote). She seems so sweet in so many TV interviews (which we can see on youtube). Does any one know anything more about this?

Just Curious
