I love ABBA. I love Andante by Frida. So, nice to know a bit about her.
**Anni-Frid, Princess Reuss, Countess of Plauen (German: Anni-Frid Prinzessin Reuss von Plauen) (born Anni-Frid Synni Lyngstad, 15 November 1945 in Bjørkåsen, Ballangen, Norway), widely known as Frida Lyngstad, is a Norwegian-born Swedish pop singer.
She was one of the four members of Swedish group ABBA. Born in Norway to a Norwegian mother and a German father, she grew up in Sweden, and has been a resident of Switzerland since 1986.**
ABBA is one of the most influential bands ever, other than The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Rush, etc. What’s really special is that as a Scandinavian band, ABBA became not only internationally successful, but so extremely famous that it became a household name. That is quite an accomplishment, considering that in those days, England and America were leading the music scene (they still do, but not to such an extend anymore). I like underground music, and many of these bands pay tribute to ABBA. They started out as a pop rock band, but later jumped on the Disco bandwagon. Too bad. Disco was a short-lived phenomena, a fad. By the way, the guys were always arguing which of the gals is prettier: Anni-Frid or Agnetha, lol.
Rasputin or By the river of Babylon(Bony M), Lover boy,(Dona Sumner),All the time you go away(Pink Floyd), Carlos whispering by whams or Leonel Rich’s ------?
It’s very true what you quoted from the Pink Floyd
Let me finish it. I like with its end. I think it very important. It’s title: Another Brick in the Wall
“We don’t need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.”
All in all we are just another brick in the wall! The first four lines reminds me Orwel: Animal Farm
I didn’t read Burmese Days by Orwell. Now you are the first who mention this book to me.
I think it isn’t translated into Hungarian, but I will read it in English.
Don’t make me sad. I found out- for myself - there are lot of miserable nations. Everybody is able to see the irredeemable blunders of his/her nation. I learned this “wisdom” here on this course.
You made me laugh. It’s very good: "A ruby in the Mud " and the over love also. You are right the prefix is positive we can’t say only in this way we over love our nation…
