Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

I can easily understand your reaction to Abba. At first I thought the same way. Over the years, and it's been many now I have grown a great appreciation for them. They worked hard for ten tears before "Waterloo" won the Eurovision song competition as "ABBA" in 1974. Their music was remarkable, and still is. It's weathered well four decades later. There are many tribute bands, but it's very difficult to sound as good as the original.

They were dedicated musicians and wrote many great tunes. It's too bad that lots of other musicians "get" how great they were but many of the general public don't realize how difficult it was and is to perform as they did. For instance, "Dancing Queen" covers two octaves, no joke to sing, especially strongly. If you don't like them that's fine!

There is real talent in this world. Talent I recognize and appreciate, but still have no inner connection with.
I hear it but just don't feel it as many others do.

When this happens I try to hear what I have not heard, sometimes that works, but mostly not. I have rarely come to like what I did not like before. More often I tried of what I liked before.
 
A fav of mine not thought of in many a year.
Rock and roll religion...
I think the lyric unsophisticated and child like in it's reliance upon the divine.
It takes tremendous faith to say unequivocally"
"When I die and they lay me to rest I'm going to the place that's best!"

My feeling is that the Divine welcomes such presumption; Asks us to makes such a leap of faith.

My oldest friend's friend from HS lives with Mr Greenbaum. They are happy together seems that his song (which definitely isn't one of my favorites) keeps earning royalties. May he prosper and live long.

Kurt Cobain loved ABBA. What can I gainsay about that?
