From the moment that song hit US top 40 radio, I've loved ABBA. I bought the singles and albums up to their final one. Twenty years ago I would have thrilled at the news of a reunion. (Of course there have been periodic reunion rumors almost from the moment they split up.) Now anything other than perhaps a new recording would be anti-climatic. Can four sixty-somethings who haven't performed together in over 30 years recapture the magic in live performance? Unlikely.
Gee, Michael. Didn't you know 60 is the new 40? I would imagine they wouldn't appear and sing in public unless they did some extensive rehearsals first. It will be interesting, to say the least.
