Anyone guess what movie they look like they've been to a casting call for? Remember 9 to 5? "What a way to make a living?" I like the way they matured to where they were at this point of their run. I like to tease about the work wardrobe. But, I've said previously what I think what that was all about. They were distancing themselves from their earlier wardrobe phases. I think it in the case of the women with this look was a little antiseptic. I would have liked a little more of the "Living en vida loca" schtick. Another thing is that I think many have overlooked that their image was all geared toward their sound, but their stage presence was always good. To me Bjorn will always be "The Man" when it came to being cool, and staying laid back. I love how he's stayed engaged as a writer to this day, along with Benny. Agnetha, I wish would do another album of original material. I've enjoyed all of the "playing catchup ball," with regard to all of the stuff I've learned I didn't know before now and the last couple of years. But I've felt none of the other time between my ABBAphile periods, have been wasted. But like all things. I've matured to where I prefer their sound to just about any other, or the solo recordings.

Another great goofing off photo of Agnetha and why not they have a ton of serious poses through out their career.

From 1980 onwards, they started to dress older than their age...

I mean prior to 2007 I didn't think about ABBA, or listen to their music, because I was into an entirely different way of life. Being self absorbed with life in the South Eastern U.S., and alot of it I would add was spent in and out of reoccuring Clinical Depression. I spent alot of time with the truly lowly, but the problem with that, is that when you spend time with those that aren't your peers, you stagnate and become somewhat less, than you would have been otherwise, as well the pic about them dressed in the gold colored robes, was funny in that they do remind you of someone joining a religious cult/commune, but the most dangerous ones, and I know from personal experience; masquerade as legitimate religions. I was into a selfinflicted "Theological Laughing Academy," for off and on twentytwo years. This one is one of the smaller ones, it's got members in over 120 countries. I won't say who they are, I'll just say "Beware," they want to control your time, money, and most importantly your mind.
