Socialist Bullies
ABBA refused to speak about politics, and this further alienated Swedish “hipster” or “prog” circles. During this era all Swedish bands were expected to spread the “socialist doctrine” and they got criticized heavily, especially by left-wing movement members about it.
Virtual ABBA
ABBA decided to finally reunite after 35 years and recently released 2 brand new songs! The songs will be a part of a “Virtual ABBA” experience. The band is collaborating with “American Idol” creator Simon Fuller to appear as virtual avatar’s in a 2 hour long TV special that will feature their greatest hits and 2 new songs. It is set to be on television this December. How cool!
